Being a bride in 2016 is no easy task people. So every bride needs her own little army of bridesmaids and and an arsenal full of emergency products for her wedding day. A few indulgences, a few must-haves and a few cute things. We got you 11 ideas a modern bride didn't think she needed.
This one is taking the world by storm - apparently the cute pink sponge is all you need to keep your makeup intact and to get a great finish. The ultra useful sponge comes with many uses - it can be used to settle in powder, to spread your foundation beautifully, to dab blush and highlighter and more. One beauty blender apparently takes care of your entire makeup routine. Here's a simple tutorial on how to use a blender and we are loving it. Buy it here.
Travelling to a destination wedding and wondering how those kalidars will crumble inside your suitcase? You don't need to worry about steam press facilities anymore because the Philips Garment Steamer is the shizz people. Available at 5299 Rs, you can use this to steam iron your sarees, indo-western outfits, complicated silhouettes like dhotis etc. Available at Amazon and Croma stores and here.
This one's for the bride who wants to maximise her beauty routine for her big day. Just do your daily foot cream-foot massage routine the night before and cozy them up with these cute socks. The moisturising will stay intact and keep your feet absolutely soft and smooth. These are specially amazing for brides with dry feet. Wear them on the night before and cozy up - help prettify your feet for the d-day. Buy it here.
The Bridal Notebook, available at PropShop is a must have for every bride. Its your own personal planning diary with little notes, dates and reminders for yourself. There is a section for updating dates of fittings and trials, and a cute little countdown timer.
Don't underestimate the power of bath slippers. Every bride needs to prance around the room in them and go through the rituals of moisturising, mani-pedi and last minute nail polish updates. The softer they are, the better they keep your sanity on your wedding day. Plus, they can make your insta pictures look awesome with just the right filters. But seriously, don't step out of the house without them. Buy them here.
Maybe a few drops of juice fell on your lehenga while you were sipping, or there was an accidental ketchup stain or even a mascara spill - there is a 90% chance you will have a tiny stain on your beautiful clothes just before you head out. That's why you need a stain remover pen. I found this in a supermarket in Singapore and it really saved my life - Tide To Go Pen is the best in the market. Just keep it handy - it looks like a pen and when you rub it on top of a stain, bingo, gone in 10 seconds. Buy it here.
Zits too have a way of popping up when you least want them to. And does the bride have an instant solution? Not really, because she'll be panicking alright. That's why a blemish treatment on the spot gel is important to carry in your little kit. Especially if you are at a destination wedding, it will give you relief as you apply it 2-3 times a day. Look for one that lessens redness and instantly curbs inflammation. Buy it here.
By far the coolest accessory we've ever know, this lingerie transformer really takes the cake. It really converts your regular bra back and takes very low. Perfect for dresses and sari gowns with deep backs as it comes with transparent back extenders. Attach the extender on either side of your bra hook and bra eye, and lower the band at the back of your bra to the curve of your hip. Clip the front together and done! Buy it here.
A good sleep before you big day needs all the help it can get. Enter: silk sleep pillows. Before you guffaw, really think about it. It's your last one night of sleep before you get into party mode and new bride mode - so might as well sleep like a baby and gather all your energy for a few days of nonstop fun. That's why a silk beauty pillowcase is on our list - so indulgent and so pretty! Plus, a satin pillow case is so gentle, it allows skin and hair to glide across the surface—protecting and hydrating skin, reducing split ends, and ensuring a longer-lasting blow out. Buy it here.
Yeah yeah yeah, we have our usual makeup removers called "cotton balls". But a day like yours needs big help and maximum moisturising. That's why we found a product that every fashion editor is obsessed with - the makeup easer. It's a soft cloth that can be reused again and again and can only wash makeup with warm water. Ah, a relief for tired make-up laden skin right? Buy it here.
