Everyone knows the “Big Day” is supposed to go off without a hitch, yet unexpected mishaps often threaten to ruin the entire affair. Ripped hems, broken zippers and color mix-ups all spell wedding disaster unless there is a quick-fix solution on-hand. Whether the dress mysteriously doesn’t fit or a shoe strap suddenly snaps, America’s favorite fix-all – duct tape – is a great accessory that can help brides and grooms have the wedding day they always imagined. Known for its durability, strength and versatility, Duck Tape® is reliable in a variety of situations. Below are a few unique ways soon-to-be-newlyweds are using Duck Tape® as a last-minute addition to their wedding checklist:
Step 1
For Convenience:
· Use a piece for last-minute hems to long pants or dresses
· Place a strip behind a broken zipper or button to keep it together during the ceremony
· Remove lint or hair from dresses and tuxedos
· Tape the base of a unity candle to help it stand straight
· Help keep a loose corsage or boutonniere in place
Step 2
For Comfort:
· Cover fabric sections inside of clothing that irritate the skin
· Fix a bustle in a bind
· Tape around the stems of flower bouquets to help keep them together
· Fix a broken strap on a shoe, purse or dress
Step 3
Reception Uses:
· Secure tablecloths to tables
· Give a roll to the DJ to secure wires to the floor
· For outdoor receptions, tape down any decorations that could blow away
· Keep a roll on hand for last-minute fixes to centerpieces
· Photographers – use for broken tripods or torn camera straps
Whatever the problem may be, sometimes a quick fix is all that is needed to keep the day running smoothly.

Good cuz I needed to know about my wedding disasters! I made a ring out of duck tape.?. It looks kinda real in my eyes.?. I want my wedding ring to be onyx. Not diamond. Do they make gem duck tape? ?? Cuz I love the color black. And it looks like shiny and amazing. Kinda like this pair of leggings I own. I want my wedding dress to be black too. And gray and white and orange. Cuz i love those colors. Wait... What was I typing about again? Oh well...???????????

I like the ideas for quick fixes i think they will be very helpful. I was wondering if anyone has any wedding decoration ideas. I have been using Duck Tape for anything and everything I could dream up since I was young and plan on having a Duck Tape wedding. I plan on my decorations and our clothes to be made of primarily Duck Tape. Open to suggestions I have just over a year to create my dream Duck Tape wedding.
