How do I transport my wedding dress abroad?
|
Now there is a question! I bet you have had a few like them already if you are trying to arrange a wedding abroad. I am sure, like most of us women do, it has taken you ages to decide on which dress you would like, what style, what colour and that is before you have even thought about the bridesmaids’ dresses and the groom has decided on his outfit! One of the first things you may want to take into consideration at the beginning is looking at the material you are going to choose for your wedding dress and how you can transport your wedding dress to your wedding destination. As you are fully aware, different materials will crease more and other wedding dresses will take up more space! Fabrics like chiffon and charmeuse drape well and are crease resistant. Something else you may want to check is the airline’s rules and regulations. My biggest fear is lost luggage. After all, the last thing you want is for your wedding dress not to be at the other end when you arrive. It seems that no airline has any rules specifying that you cannot carry your wedding dress onto the plane. However, you will need to check the weight and size that is allowable for hand luggage. When looking at transporting your wedding dress abroad there are a few options. You could carry it in a folding dress cover and the cabin crew may be able to hang it up somewhere for you. Obviously, this will need careful thought as a folding dress cover may crease your wedding dress. Most airlines (especially for long haul destinations) have a gallery area, so you may be able to keep an eye on it; after all, it is your most precious possessions you are transporting, apart from your husband to be of course! |
The other choice you have is a wedding dress box. These are a great idea as you can lay the dress flat so you know you will not have to be steaming your wedding dress once you arrive at your wedding destination.
Both of the above are easy to get hold of and can be found online. They don’t cost much either, so that will be good news for a change, no doubt! If you do feel that the whole process is a worry then discuss this with the bridal consultant when you are buying your dress, they may be able to help you. If all else fails you could do the unexpected, and transport your perfect wedding dress in style and buy it its very own seat! Most of all, the legal documentation is the most important part of your wedding abroad. Without the correct legalisation your perfect wedding abroad will end up being just an expensive holiday with the mother in law! If you want to concentrate on the exciting plans of the wedding without any tear-your-hair-out stress then get help with Legal Documents and Requirements. They are the most important part of marrying abroad! If you want to say, “I DO”, then make sure you can say, “I DID”.
