The Destination Wedding Packing Essentials to Take With You on Every Trip

2022 is set to be one of the biggest weddings years ever, and reader, I have lived it. I have been to 4 destination weddings since March, and have had at least a wedding a month—sometimes two—for what has felt like the majority of this year. Needless to say, I have traveled quite a bit and, as a result, have refined what to pack down to an art. Which isn't to say that I always pack lightly, but I do try to pack strategically.

There are eye drops that make your eyes look like you're not sleep-deprived from too much time on the dance floor, heels that are actually comfortable to wear for the long-haul, the anti-wrinkle spray that will save your skin when you're running late to a ceremony, and even a blow dry brush that will make you look like you've gotten a professional blowout. Here, the 26 items to bring to every wedding you have, all over the globe.
