With so many tasks to accomplish before your wedding, planning can be overwhelming. From fittings to hair, make-up, venue, food, and other relevant vendors, you have your hands full. But we want to remind you that you shouldn't forget the elements that make your wedding unique.

There is a ton of things to buy for a wedding that may seem inconsequential, but they spice up your day. These items range from decor to venue materials, accessories, personalized gifts, and more. And in case you have no idea, we've put together a list of things you need to buy for a wedding.

1. Buy a bride subscription box

Begin proper wedding planning by subscribing to a bride box service. You'd be doing yourself a world of good because bridal boxes double as a planning guide and fun buddy. Worthy bridal box subscriptions guide you through planning stages while making your miss to mrs transition a seamless one.

One of such services is Miss to Mrs. Bridal Box, which guides the bride from proposal to the honeymoon stage. These boxes contain custom and trendy items that will make you feel special. They include jewelry, spa and beauty essentials, decor items, vow books, wedding tips, perfect for every woman. The Mrs. to Mrs. couples aren't left out, as it's all-inclusive.

Tailored to fit your planning stage, it delivers 9 themed carefully curated boxes. It's also split into four wedding subscription box plans to suit the time left before your wedding. They are the monthly, accelerated, extended, and quarterly plans.

2. Wedding hairpiece or veil

If you're big on wedding trends, you want to make sure that your veil or hairpiece is sleek. Some brides just pick whatever they find, only for it to turn out horribly in pictures. So we're telling you that your veils and hairpieces are important. Take great care in picking them out.

3. Monogrammed handkerchief

Brides often overlook this, but a handkerchief is one of the things to get for a wedding. There's going to be a few tears-or not. But you'll sweat, need to dab at your face and all. Having a handkerchief handy will save you a lot of stress. You can go the extra mile by stamping your name, wedding date, or initials on it. It makes a beautiful keepsake.

4. Bridal emergency kit

A bridal emergency kit is one of the most important things you need for your wedding. Planners will often overlook this, but you should never forget. What if your zipper splits, a button pops out, or you spill some wine on your dress? Panic will surely set it, but if you have your kit in place, those can easily be fixed.

5. Engraved cufflinks

Gifting your groom engraved cufflinks is a beautiful way to start the wedding morning. We don't think it's necessary, but it's a sweet gesture that he won't forget. Engrave the cufflinks with his initials and your love to him. Include quotes that are meaningful to both of you. It could be something from your favorite book, movie, or song.

6. Battery operated tea lights

If you're thinking of how to make your wedding unique, incorporate battery tea lights at your reception. This will suit best if you're not allowed to light candles at your wedding venue. These tea lights are beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, yet functional. They help in creating a relaxed ambiance for the guests.

7. Custom cake topper

Display your new family or initials name with a custom cake topper. Your topper could also be the wedding date or your pet names. Choose materials that best suit your wedding theme, going from rustic to glam, whimsical, and more.

8. Direction signage

Make navigation easy for your guests by purchasing some quirky direction signage. Buy parking signs, welcome signs, venue direction signs, convenience signs, bar signs, guestbook table signs, etc. This will help reduce aimless wandering to the minimum.

9. Body wrap or shawls

Have you considered that the weather might get chilly even in summer evenings? Protect yourself while remaining fashionable by getting a shawl or body wrap. Especially while hunting for your wedding dress so that you're sure they match or are complementary.

10. A set of shadow box sand

If you will be having the sand ceremony ritual at your wedding, don't forget to buy a shadowbox sand set. It's complete with everything you need and you can save it as a keepsake.

11. Sparkler tags

A trending wedding exit item is the fun sparkler tags. They have beautiful love quotes that will remain with you forever. They are also fun as you'll share them at the bridal party to hold with their hands up as you leave the hall.

12. Bubble favors

Not every venue allows for confetti or even bird seeds. A fun and trendy alternative are bubble favors. Guests will not get enough of it.

We've curated 12 essential things to buy for a wedding to help make amazing memories. They are fun, essential, practical, and functional, within various price ranges to suit your budget. There's also something for every woman regardless of her style.
