Always carry your gown,veil, shoes, underwear, jewellery in a carry on luggage bag and keep it with you in the cabin.......never check in your gown in a suitcase as they are often lost........this could be devestating! When I have a client with a destination wedding, I always either pack their carry on luggage for them, or show them how to do it if the flight is too far after pick up. Use plenty of tissue paper, lay some in the bag to start with pieces hanging over in each direction. Put the bodice of your gown in first as flat as possible, add more tiussue, lay the skirt flat and put lots of tissue, roll in the sides untill the skirt is the width of the suitcase, adding plenty of tissue as you go. consatina the gown backwards and forwards with tisse between each layer, then do the same with your veil if you have one. fold in the original tissue from the bottom of the bag and lay your wedding gown bag folded on top. It's hard to beleive, but most gowns, even quite full, fit with no issue. once you arrive, shake out your gown and hang it up, it may need a steam depending on the fabric but it will have minimal creasing compared to carrying it in a suit bag over your arm.
We pack your wedding gown in a hand luggage parcel which makes it easy to carry and also keeps your gown safe with you at all times.
If you would like to make a booking to come in store and try some dresses please call

Hey there!
Firstly check with your airline and see if you can hang the gown. If this is not possible ask the shop where you purchased your gown from if they could pack your gown into your hand luggage. Depending on the size of your gown it's best to have as hand luggage so that it stays with you at all times. When you arrive immediately hang the gown but if it is too creased see if there is a dry cleaners that can steam the gown for you on arrival. If it is packed last minute and hung straight away you should get away with not needing another steam depending on the fabric.
Best of luck to you xx

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.
As part of my service I pack suitable hand luggage case with the bride so her dress and accesories are with her at all times. Check with your airlines how they can help you and if they have allowance for brides. Sometimes for a small fee they will let you hang your dress in First class section or even do it for free. DON'T put your dress with the regular luggage. Hopefully this helps you a bit.
All the best,
