Bridal suites are the anteroom of one of the biggest days of your life, here you’ll spend the last hours getting ready for your wedding and spending endearing time with your bridal party. So, you want this space to be comfortable, loaded with everything you and your bridesmaids, family, and friends need, and toast to the happily-ever-after that lies ahead

Here is our selection of 7 musts to stock your bridal suite with:

1. Full-length mirror

Having a floor-length mirror is one of the essentials when getting ready for such a grand occasion, it will be your best ally when checking your hair and makeup. Checking the final result, once you are wearing your bridal gown —from front to back and head to toe— will assure you walk down the aisle feeling the prettiest!


2. A special corner for the wardrobe

Once in your bridal suite, you would like to keep your dress fresh and clean. Designate a space for all the wardrobe and accessories to be at hand, but far enough to avoid stains.


3. Light, light, and light

Besides being your best friend to get that natural, fresh look when applying makeup, if you are planning to capture those special moments shared with your bridesmaids and wedding party, natural lighting will allow the photographer to achieve beautiful light and airy images.


4. Dressing Robes

You don’t need a last-minute stain or spills on your wedding gown, so it is recommended that you and your bridal party prepare for your big day in dressing robes. You can freely snack and get styled without worries. A robe that ties in the front will avoid messing up your hair and makeup.  


5. Refreshments

You have a long day ahead! And you want to remain hydrated and energized for the big moment. Plan to have healthy, low-sodium foods that are higher in fats and protein in your bridal suite for you and your bridesmaids and wedding party until the reception, together with plenty of water or, why not?, white wine, mimosas or clear sparkling champagne.


6. Steamer
