I have been in search of a new emergency kit and I do believe that I have found the perfect one!After years of adding this, that and the other thing to my kit, I have since outgrown my second one and now I am onto Kit #3.
I am so excited! This sucker is huge with three seperate compartments and a tray that pulls out. I do a lot of set up and decorating for my clients so I carry a lot of tools, pins, adhesives and thing-a-ma-jigs that can attach one thing to another thing. If you can find it in a hardware or craft store you will probably find it in my emergency kit. Over the years, 
I have had to repair a bouquet that was handled rather roughly and made a boutonniere on the fly, due to a grandfather showing up "as a surprise" and of course the bride wanted to honor him just the same. So that means that I always bring along basic floral supplies, knife, tape, wire, ribbon, and pins. Not to mention all of the stuff that I bring along in case of a mishap with a gown, tuxedo or in case someone in the bridal party forgot something like black socks, breath mints or a curling iron. I even carry a few brand new hankies and as I send the groom down the aisle, I will stuff one in his pocket, so that when his bride starts to tear up during the ceremony, he'll be the sensitive, thoughtful hero coming to his bride's aide!
When I get it all filled and ready to go for the next wedding, I will be sure to (ok I will try to remember to) do another post and list everything that I was able to fit in. Until then, here's to hoping that I never need to use it, but knowing that I will be prepared if I have to!
All the best & 'til next time,
