THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO TRAVELLING WITH YOUR WEDDING ATTIRE



Guidance & Tips



What’s the MOST important thing before the wedding day? A safe and calm trip to Paris! Every bride wants to make sure their wedding dress is cared for and stays fresh and clean for the big celebration day. Figure out how to fly with your wedding attire without any stress.




INVEST IN A TRAVEL-WORTHY CARRY ON GARMENT BAG



Garment bags are designed to keep your dress crease-free and perfectly organized every time you travel. If you want your dress and suit to be ready-to-wear when you arrive to Paris, the very best way is to invest in a garment carrier. You can have a rolling garment bag or a shoulder garment bag.


And the best news: most garment bags are designed to be used as carry-on luggage when rolled or folded.


How to find it? Buy searching "travel garment destination bag" on Amazon or Ebay.


Pro tip: call the airline to find out how they handle passengers with large and delicate items like a wedding dress. Ask if they can hang the gown for you somewhere safe.



PACK YOUR DRESS FOR SHIPPING



The safest way to do it is to ask your bridal shop to pack everything professionally in tissue paper. Ask for help when necessary!


ARRIVAL CARE



Unpack the dress and suit and hang them up promptly upon arrival. Most wrinkles fall out within 24 hours. If you have some extra cash and want to play it safe, you can always purchase another seat on the plane for your gown.



A PORTABLE STEAMER



Even if your dress was perfectly packed, you’ll likely need to steam it. Local dry cleaners in Paris can be closed or taking orders only by an appointment. You can easily get away with doing it on your own using a small travel steamer.


It works wonders on clothing made of soft or delicate materials. Because they are small and portable, travel steamers are amazing, they take up little room in your luggage.



How to find it? Buy searching "portable travel steamer" on Amazon or Ebay.
