No Passport? No Problem

Who says you need to jet off to Italy for two weeks to have a proper honeymoon? Sure, we'd love to spend our vacation rowing down Lake Como with George Clooney, but let's get real. The last thing most of us want to deal with post-nuptials is a two-hour line at customs and the nagging fear that we bought the wrong converter for our hair dryer.

How To Pack A Wedding Gown For Flight

Lately young couples are less interested in large, traditional weddings and opt for destination weddings. These are less formal and more relaxed and will allow them to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves without worrying about the wedding etiquette and old fashioned traditions. Plus, destination weddings are more fun and require less preparation. Hence, if you decided to exchange vows on your favorite part of the world then you should pack you things and hit the road. However, remember to pack your wedding dress carefully and without ruining it. A proper packing will protect the shape, color and details of the dress.


Still, if you want to make sure your wedding dress will be easy to transport pay attention when purchasing it. It is recommended to choose a light weight and soft fabric because it would be easy to handle and transport. Also, make sure the fabric won’t wrinkle easily. Chiffon, organza and georgette are the most common and well received fabrics for a destination wedding gown.

If you intend to flight to your dream destination there are a few things you should know before packing you dress. First of all, remember not to let your wedding dresses in checked luggage. You risk having it damaged or even lost. Therefore it is important to reduce its length and take it with you on the plane. It is recommended to ask the airlines what are their restrictions regarding wedding gowns and what are your alternatives. Most US airline stated that wedding dresses should be transported in garment bags of 54’’’long

Begin by preparing the wedding gown. Lay it down on a flat and clean surface and wrap it in white tissue paper. This will allow the dress to keep its shape. You can find special and acid free tissue paper that will allow the fabric to breathe and prevent humidity. Fold the dress so that one side will overlap the other. Pay a significant attention to the train and fold it towards the middle of the wedding dress. Put the gown into a breathable garment bag. This is easy to fold and carry and it will also keep the dress in good shape.

If you are traveling first class you might be able to hang your garment bag into the closet. Each plane has a special part for wedding gowns. In this case it is highly important to write your contact details such as complete name and phone number on the bag.

Italy has so much to offer – the food, the wine, the historic cities and rustic country, and the friendly people. Be prepared for lots of hugs from strangers when you announce you’re getting married while in Italy. One way to host a destination wedding here is to rent out a large private home for you and your guests – there are many to choose from throughout the country. Or, book a Bed&Breakfast to enjoy local home-cooking and local expertise on what to see and where to eat. You really can’t go wrong.

A happy medium may be Aranjaya, a luxury villa on a family-run three-hundred acre citrus estate in Sicily. Your guests can sip chianti by the large infinity pool under swaying palm and blood-orange trees, play tennis on the grounds, or drive five miles to the nearest village. It’s perfect for a destination wedding party to take over the entire place. Sicily is also home to La Plage resort, a waterfront luxury hotel that opened only a few years ago, with sixty guestrooms and five private villa suites, ideal for destination wedding groups.

For brides who dream of having a wedding in Tuscany, the spa town of Monsummano is gorgeous. If you can’t master the basics of Italian in time for your trip, book your wedding party at the Villa Lucia Bed and Breakfast – the owner is a former restaurant owner from California. Weddings at the Villa Lucia take place in an olive grove with a view of the Tuscan countryside. Wherever you want to travel, Elite agents will pair you with professionals who will be able to help you – in English – to put on your perfect wedding.

Let Elite Travel help you plan your perfect destination wedding. It will be the most relaxing wedding you’ve ever been to!
