DISASTER STRIKES: Your wedding jewellery breaks on the day. You may have invested hundreds on your bridal jewels and while they may be of excellent quality and design, there’s always the small, but real, possibility that a link could become dislodged and ruin your set.

FIX IT: It may not sound like the most glam option, but for nightmare scenarios like this, I keep a pair of mini pliers in my styling box. I admit, having a pair of pliers on standby isn’t the most obvious bridal accessory, so entrust them to one of your ‘maids or a family member or stash them in your dressing room. Should the worst happen, you can quickly save your jewels.

DISASTER STRIKES: You step into your dream lehenga, lean over slightly to be zipped up, and pop! Your zip breaks, just moments before the ceremony. Cue panic, tears and anger.
