Transporting your Wedding Gown.

If you are having a destination wedding, transporting your wedding gown can be a little tricky. Not only are wedding gowns heavy and bulky, they stain easily due to its colour. It's easy if your destination wedding venue is only a drive away. However, if your venue is located at a far off location that requires you to fly, what is the best way to transport your wedding gown on the plane? Obviously, packing your wedding gown in your luggage bag is not possible.

Here's what you can do. Hand carry your wedding gown in a garment bag onto the plane with you. Ensure that the garment bag is big enough for the gown and foldable for easy storage.

Either stow away your garment bag in the overhead compartment above your seat or get assistance from the air stewardess to store your garment bag in the coat storage in the first-class cabin. Remember to tag your garment bag with your name, contact number as well as the address of the hotel that you are staying in. Should anything happen, like forgetting to collect your garment bag when you leave the plane, the airline can always get it delivered to you safely.

And before you leave for your destination wedding, do check with the hotel's housekeeping to see if they area able to steam your wedding gown for you when you arrive. After all, the wedding gown will wrinkle once it is stowed away on the plane.
