On the biggest and arguably most important day of your life, you surely don’t want to be frazzled and be all over the place. You want be a zen goddess of a bride and so you’ll need to be super ready in advance. We’re listing out the items you’ll need to carry to the salon to get ready for the wedding. All you have do is keep this last minute checklist handy and adhere to it. Sound like a plan to you, Miss Bridechilla?
1. Shoes
Obviously, we mean the shoes you plan to wear with the outfit, not the ones you wore to the salon.
2. Shapewear
In case you are wearing any shapewear below, don’t forget to carry that to put on before you get into your bridal finery!
3. Carry your entire outfit
That includes your lehenga, choli, dupatta or saree, petticoat, blouse among others. This sounds kind of obvious but what we mean is don’t leave any part of it out in a hurry!
Just how cute is this princess pitaara?! Perfect for you to keep your bridal outfit along with your trousseau essentials. Get it on Pitaara for Rs 4,500.
4. Jewellery
Don’t assume you’ll put it on later as the MUA will pin it all in place for you. You should leave the salon absolutely ready to be married! PS: Jewellery includes your wedding set and the add-on accessories like maang tikka and haath phool.
5. Your perfume!
You won’t feel like your best self without smelling the part, so don’t forget this important thing.
6. Makeup
Carry some basic products that you know work well for you. This is just in case the products at the salon don’t suit you or you aren’t happy with them. Also, in case you want a very specific lip shade – it’s just better to carry your own!

8. Granola Bars
You might feel hungry through the process and granola bars are the perfect on the go snack that’ll also give you energy!
9. Phone
You’re going to want your phone while you are getting dolled up. If not to scroll Instagram, then to coordinate with people. Don’t forget to carry that power charger either!

10. All sorts of pins!
Safety pins, hair pins – sure, the salon should have them but why not be an ultra prepared bride?
11. Polaroid Camera
This is just in case you own one and want to get a couple of polaroids clicked along the way! (We think it’ll be a cute idea to capture the making of a bride)
We are surely in love with the Instax camera. Get your hands on yours from Amazon for Rs 4,535
12. Money
Again, sounds obvious but brides are often accompanied by people and don’t end up having cash on them. So make sure to carry some money just in case you need it! You don’t want any damsel in distress situations happening.
13. Bindi
Don’t just assume that the MUA will have one you’re going to love. Find the exact bindi you want to wear with your outfit and carry it with you to the salon!
A multipurpose pouch that also doubles up as a jewellery organizer? Why not! Get your hands on this bindi organizer from Amazon for Rs 524.
14. Double Sided Tape

15. Miscellaneous
If there’s any other product you swear by, for instance a fixing spray, just carry it with you. If you feel like you’d like to read a magazine at the salon – carry that. Have a lucky charm you like to keep with you at all times? Don’t forget it at home.
