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.

      Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

      The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
