Has anyone had to take their wedding dress abroad before?

We're flying to Bermuda next week for our wedding blessing and I don't want to put my dress in the hold of the plane - I'd rather have it as my hand luggage.... has anyone any advice on how it's best transported - in a large suit carrier or a small suitcase - or maybe a box?

Any advice gratefully received......

Thank you!

I took mine all the way from London to NZ as handluggage - it was in a big white plastic dress carrier which folded up on itself to form a bag. On the flights (Singapore Airlines) they were really accommodating and hung it in the crew uniform area so that it hung down straight.


I've never had so many people talk to me in an airport before, was definitely a talking point while in transit in Singapore. And we got lots of champagne from the air stewards too :))

Thanks for the advice... my dress came in a white plastic dress bag which folds over (sounds like yours Pickle) but I didn't know if they would let me have that as hand luggage...

I like the idea of the boxes but they are so flippin' expensive!


Traveling with BA - so I hope they are nice to us!

Lovely AllyCat,


I have flown first Class to Jamaica - about ten years ago, and when a bride checked in with her dress, she was automatically upgraded with her groom (naturally I complained). Further, they hung her dress carefully in the special closets they have in first.


What I would recommend is that you purchase an over the door hanger for in the hotel. You know, something like this, but for a very thick door - just to make sure that you can let the dress spread out when you arrive.

    • What is your beef with me ? Why are you asking rhetorical questions?  fighting me but excusing reform? have a look in the mirror  you’ve lost your way 
    • I don't need you to tell me to 'fight against' racism.  I know what it looks it like, thank you.  And China would be our enemy whether we were in Europe or not (and has been for a long time), so that's immaterial.  I remember covering an EDL march 12 years ago, when there was a Cons-Lib Dem coalition, so the idea that this is a new problem is rubbish. BUT Reform is doing an excellent job of galvanising a minority in reaction to smug liberals like you, who blame the electorate's collective ignorance for all the country's demons.  What right have you for a moral mandate? 
    • Both Labour and Conservatives can remove the threat of a Reform government by making making two major policy promises. And these are .......... (1) categorically state that they will take Britain out of the ECHR and (2) Undertake to remove any new small boat arrivals to Rwanda or wherever else. Reform is basically a single issue party and adopting (1) & (2) would send Reform into obscurity. The country has had enough of our judiciary making a gold-plated interpretation of the ECHR statutes.  
    • You fight against by not pretending. By calling it what it is. Instead of slyly pretending they are not racist “actually”  recognise what the country is facing and say “no” why do you even need to ask the question?
