Here are some tips for packing for your next destination wedding:

1. Start your packing list early.

Give yourself at least two weeks to plan what you’ll bring. It helps you spot what needs dry-cleaning, tailoring, or buying before the big day — and ensures nothing important is left behind in the rush.

2. Keep wedding-day essentials in your carry-on.

Whether you’re the bride, groom, or guest of honour, never check in your outfit, rings, or key documents. Lost luggage can happen, so keep anything irreplaceable — from your wedding attire to your vows — right by your side.

3. Use packing cubes to stay organised.

Destination weddings often mean multiple events — welcome dinners, beach days, ceremonies, and after-parties. Packing cubes let you separate outfits by occasion, so you can grab what you need without rummaging through your whole suitcase.

4. Think “multi-use” when choosing accessories.

Pick versatile pieces that can transition from day to night — like a shawl that works for a beach ceremony or a dinner, or shoes comfortable enough for dancing and sightseeing. The goal is to look great without overpacking.

5. Leave space for memories.

You’ll likely return home with a few extra keepsakes — gifts, souvenirs, or leftover wedding favours — so avoid filling your suitcase to the brim. A little extra room now means no stress (or excess baggage fees) later.
