Let’s face it… wedding days can get a little messy. Between champagne toasts, makeup touch-ups, and late-night dance moves, accidents happen. The last thing you want to deal with on your big day is a stain on your dress or suit. But don’t panic because there are ways to handle spills and stains so they don’t steal the spotlight! With a few smart tricks and a little preparation, you can keep your wedding attire looking flawless all day and night long.
Pack A Wedding Day Emergency Kit
The best way to be ready for spills is to plan ahead. A wedding day emergency kit is a must-have and should include some stain-fighting tools. Stain remover pens, baby wipes, white cloths, and even a small bottle of club soda can come in handy. If you’re wearing white or light colors, having cornstarch or baby powder on hand can help absorb grease or oil-based stains. It’s also a good idea to have safety pins and double-sided tape just in case you need a quick fix for a wardrobe malfunction along the way.
Act Fast, But Gently
If a spill happens, the most important thing is to act quickly, but you also need to be careful. Blot the stain gently with a white cloth or paper towel to lift any excess without rubbing it in. For water-based stains like soda or wine, dabbing with club soda or a stain remover pen can be surprisingly effective. If it’s something oily, like salad dressing or lipstick, sprinkle some baby powder or cornstarch on the spot and let it absorb the stain before brushing it off. Whatever you do, don’t scrub or rub—this can damage delicate fabrics and make the stain worse.
Keep Calm With Makeup Mishaps
Makeup stains are some of the most common on wedding days, especially with hugs and touch-ups happening throughout the event. Lipstick, foundation, and mascara can all leave their mark, but there are ways to tackle them. A little bit of shaving cream (yes, really!) can help lift many makeup stains without damaging the fabric. Just dab it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and gently blot it away. And if you’re in a pinch, baby wipes are a gentle option that can handle most surface smudges without too much risk.
