💍 Getting Ready Room Checklist: Everything a Bride Needs (That No One Tells You)

Your bridal makeup is booked. Hair? Handled. Photographer? On standby.
But what about the getting ready room—the space where all the magic (and chaos) happens?

Truth: Most brides forget to prep this space. And when the lipstick’s rolling under the couch and someone forgot the steamer? Panic mode.

Don’t worry—I’ve got you. Here’s the ultimate checklist of everything a bride should have in the getting ready room—beauty, fashion, food, and sanity included.

💄 BEAUTY ESSENTIALS
Touch-up Kit: Lipstick, blotting sheets, compact powder, Q-tips, lash glue
Skincare Basics: Cleanser, moisturizer, eye drops, lip balm
Mini Mirror: For checking close-ups without bugging your MUA
Robe or Button-Down Shirt: Easy to remove without ruining your hair
Makeup Remover Wipes: Just in case of smudges or touch-ups

👗 FASHION + FIXES
Wedding Dress + Accessories (yes, it happens—double-check!)
Bridal Shoes + Backup Flats
Lingerie/Undergarments you’ll wear under the dress
Fashion Tape
Double-sided Body Tape
Steamer (wrinkles will happen)
Lint Roller
Emergency Sewing Kit (needle, thread, safety pins, scissors)
Perfume (travel size is ideal)

🧃 FOOD + COMFORT
Water Bottles: Hydration = glow
Light Snacks: Protein bars, fruit, or crackers (no cheese boards until after glam!)
Straws: So you don’t ruin your lipstick
Phone Chargers + Power Banks
Playlist/Speaker: Create a good vibe while you get ready
Fan or Cooling Spray: Especially for summer weddings

👯‍♀️ BRIDE VIBES
Printed Schedule: Who’s getting glam when
Contact Sheet: Numbers for vendors, planner, etc.
Thank-You Notes or Gifts for bridesmaids (if giving them that day)
Tissues: For tears (and there will be tears)
A Calm Friend or Coordinator: To keep the vibe smooth and stress-free

📸 FOR PHOTOS
Hanger for Your Dress (preferably pretty!)
Flat Lay Kit: Invitation, perfume, jewelry, vow books, etc.
Extra Florals: Ask your florist for loose blooms for styling
Clean, Clutter-Free Area for makeup photos
Good Lighting: Near a window is ideal for makeup and pics

👰 FINAL WORD
This is your space. Set the mood, plan ahead, and make it easy to enjoy every second of getting ready. Because once the dress is zipped and your lipstick is set—it’s go time 💃

Much Love,
