1) Carry the dress in the fabric hanging bag provided by your bridal salon. Keeping the dress seperate from other items will prevent possible snags or damage.
2) Never check your gown! Carry your dress on as a piece of luggage and ask to hang it in a coat closet or fold it in fourths and place it in an overhead bin with one side against the wall and another piece of luggage protecting the other side.
3) If you must ship it, make sure to send it to a commercial address and set it to arrive before you. If you are getting married on or near a holiday, allow extra shipping time and always insure the gown for the full amount!
4) If there is beadwork or flowers, wrap the areas in tissue paper prior to transport.
5) Upon arrival, have your wedding planner or family member refer you to someone competent to steam or press your gown. Hotels that host destination weddings should have someone on site to handle this request.
No matter the destination, transporting your gown can seem daunting but with the simple tips above, it will be as easy as your walk down the aisle.
