The Kingbridge Bridal Emergency Kit
Expertly curated for the "just in case" moments.
While we strive for a flawless day, life happens. This kit is designed to manage small hiccups without compromising your gown's integrity before it reaches our specialists.
1. The "Safety First" Tools
White Silk Thread & Needle: For a loose button or a snagged lace appliqué.
Extra-Strong Safety Pins: If a bustle loop snaps during the reception, these are your best friends.
Double-Sided Fashion Tape: To keep straps or necklines exactly where they belong as you move.
2. The Stain "Damage Control"
White Cotton Cloths: Always blot, never rub. Rubbing breaks the fibers of silk and satin.
White Chalk: A secret weapon for masking small oil or grease spots on white gowns until they can be professionally cleaned.
Distilled Water: For very minor water-soluble spots—but use sparingly to avoid water rings.
Baby Powder: Excellent for absorbing a drop of salad dressing or oil; shake off the excess immediately.
3. The Finishing Touches
Small Crochet Hook: The fastest way to do up a long row of tiny "loop and pearl" buttons without straining your manicure (or the thread).
Portable Steamer: For quick touch-ups to the veil or train. Note: Keep the steamer head at least 6 inches away to avoid water spots.
Static Guard: A must-have for preventing tulle or silk linings from clinging to your legs or hosiery.
4. The "Kingbridge Golden Rules"
Skip the Club Soda: The salt and minerals in club soda can actually set certain stains or leave a permanent ring on silk.
Hairspray Before the Dress: Apply hairspray and perfume before stepping into your gown to avoid "invisible" chemical yellowing.
Trust the Pros: If a major spill happens (looking at you, Red Wine), blot it gently with a dry white cloth and stop. Don't use soap or chemicals. Call us the next morning—we've seen it all, and we can fix it.
