It's no secret that hosting a destination wedding requires plenty of logistical planning. Between booking a dreamy wedding location , helping coordinate travel with loved ones, and designing your dream day with your vendors, transportation logistics for your wedding dress may slip your mind. But as you're planning a far-flung celebration, you'll need to determine how to transport your gown to the place you'll exchange "I dos"—and if you're not sure how to travel with a wedding dress, we're here to help.

Whether your destination wedding venue is a tropical locale or you've selected somewhere domestic, it's completely possible to safely travel with a wedding dress. We tapped two industry experts to share everything you need to know about how to fly with a wedding dress, stress-free.

Can You Take Your Wedding Dress on a Plane?

How to fly with a wedding dress, how to travel with a wedding dress on 5 major airlines.

As your destination wedding approaches, you might ask yourself: Can I take a wedding dress on a plane? It's a valid wedding planning question, and the answer is simple: Yes—but specific guidelines will vary among airlines. "It's absolutely possible to fly with a wedding dress, but you'll want to plan ahead," says Natasha Duff-Cole, owner of bridal boutique Ladies of Lineage . She notes that, while your dress designer or tailor can offer advice on how to travel with your specific design, it's up to you to get your wedding gown to the venue. "The designer is only responsible for designing your gown and getting it to the retailer you purchased from," she explains. "After alterations, it's the responsibility of the couple to make arrangements for the dress to get to its destination."

Once final alterations have been made and you're in the process of purchasing your plane ticket, how do you fly with a wedding gown? It's best to take yours as a carry-on, that way it doesn't leave your sight while traveling. "Your gown should never be added to your checked baggage," Duff-Cole warns. "Consider taking it on the plane with you in a garment bag that can't be seen through. And, if it's small enough to pack in your carry-on, make sure to add a bright ribbon or tag so you can easily detect and differentiate it."

If you choose this option, you'll need to confirm that your garment bag fits your airline's carry-on size. "Any carry-on items will need to fit the size requirements as some aircraft do not have extra room for oversized carry-on pieces," says a rep for Delta Airlines , noting that many customers prefer to use the carry-on option instead of checking the gown.

While most carry-on bags are to be stored in overhead compartments, some airplanes may have additional closet space that can be used. "Some aircraft have larger 'coat closets' in the first-class cabin area that can often be used for bridal gown storage," Delta's rep adds. "While close space is not guaranteed, once onboard the aircraft it's best to check with the flight attendants to see if they can accommodate a wedding dress." If you're interested in pursuing this option, call ahead to double-check if your plane will have extra space. You can also chat with customer service reps or flight attendants when you arrive at the airport for extra help.

If you'd rather board your flight knowing you'll have more space, consider purchasing a ticket for an extra seat if it fits your budget . This will allow you to lay out the dress without using a hanger. But, if this isn't a financially feasible option, you can always choose to ship the dress directly to the location. While this won't allow you to keep track of the gown mid-air, it will give you peace of mind knowing that you won't have to look for space on the plane.

But, if you'd rather have your gown with you until you reach the wedding destination, you can always pack your dress carefully . "Keep your dress in the bag that it came in, or purchase a sturdy garment bag to pack it in," suggests Margaret Kane, founder of Margaret Rose Events . "Plus, ensure that whatever the dress is packed in contains a waterproof layer such as plastic, just in case something spills during transit." Not only is this important for airplane storage, it'll help protect your gown during TSA screening too. We recommend covering the dress with colorless, acid-free tissue paper. This will prevent creases from forming during travel. But before pulling out an iron or a portable steamer to remove wrinkles on the wedding day, touch base with your dress designer or a trusted dry-cleaner to learn how to properly treat your wedding dress. "It's important to know what fabric your gown is designed from and whether it is press only or can be steamed," Duff-Cole says. "For example, all silk requires to be pressed, and steaming can shrink a hem or cause discoloration of the fabric." What matters most, though, is that you give your gown ample time to breathe post-travel. "I recommend opening the dress bag and letting the dress breathe for at least 24 hours before putting it on," Kane advises.

Once you know how to treat your wedding dress, you'll be able to remove wrinkles at your destination wedding venue. "If you trust yourself or a family member, a gown can be pressed with a clean iron, or household steamers can steam a gown if the fabric allows," Duff-Cole adds. "If you plan to iron your dress, make sure the iron is filled with clean water, the base is clean and you test the iron on a clean surface before your dress. The ironing board should also be checked and plan to pack a clean cover just in case you need one." Alternatively, she notes that you can always reach out to your planner or coordinator for guidance before the big day arrives: "Ask your wedding planner if they offer a day of service for pressing or steaming, or if they can recommend any local companies."

Now you're a budding expert on traveling with a wedding dress. But to simplify the process even more, we share how to fly with a wedding dress on five major US airlines.

Delta Airlines

Delta designates a section on its website to destination wedding travel tips, where it specifies that clients often carry on their gowns. Even if you're flying coach, the crew can sometimes accommodate by hanging the dress in a first-class coat closet. Again, it's important for you to follow baggage size guidelines in case there's no room for your dress in the inflight wardrobe. If you will check your gown, the airline has a convenient app to track your belongings. "If a customer is checking their wedding dress, we recommend using the FlyDelta app to track the status of their checked baggage throughout the entire travel journey," Delta's rep explains. "If a customer needs any assistance with their checked baggage, it's best to report any mishandled items to a Delta Baggage Service Center or file a claim online to receive assistance."

You may also want to take advantage of Delta's Early Valet program. About 45 minutes prior to boarding, a gate agent will preload your dress to the overhead bin directly above your seat, so no more fretting about cramming it in some opening 12 rows back—or not finding any space at all. Oh, and it's free! But it's only available on select routes and vessels, so research ahead of time.

American Airlines

Customers are allowed a soft-sided garment bag in lieu of a carry-on bag (get specific dimensions and details here ). But keep in mind, only some American Airlines aircraft feature closets for hanging garments, and those with the space give priority to passengers with other carry-ons that can't be stowed overhead (think: wheelchairs, walkers, bicycles, and surfboards).

JetBlue doesn't have closets or other hanging space , but your wedding attire can definitely be stored in an overhead compartment. It counts as your personal item or your carry-on (most likely the latter, especially if your gown is particularly voluminous), as long as your garment bag is securely packed and meets all JetBlue baggage requirements . Fun fact: If you end up purchasing a separate seat for your dress, it's also entitled to a carry-on ( seriously !). Be careful, though: Some carry-on items can be checked at the gate due to weight or size issues.

Southwest Airlines

As with most airlines, you get one carry-on and one personal item on Southwest Airlines. Crew members will typically help accommodate for wedding attire, laying your fragile dress—wrapped in a proper garment bag—carefully in an overhead compartment, either atop other suitcases or in its own space, depending on availability. (Note that Southwest does not have closets to hang your gown.) Of course, this applies as long as you adhere to Southwest's carry-on bag dimensions .

United Airlines

United Airlines recommends you carry on versus check any high-value, fragile or perishable belongings, including "garment bags not designed for travel," and will accept these specialty items (AKA your packed-up wedding dress) as carry-ons. Gate agents and crew members will be as accommodating as possible with your wedding ensemble, space permitting. See United's carry-on size restrictions here .

When in doubt, call your airline to get the exact answers you need based on your circumstances. And one last thing, as we mentioned above: You won't regret bringing a fabric steamer with you or contacting your destination site about steaming options, since you can't always guarantee a totally wrinkle-free dress upon arrival.

Wedding Dress Boxes For Travel

When traveling to your destination wedding, you’ll want to bring your dress with you to avoid any wrinkles or damage. However, transporting a wedding dress can be difficult, especially if you’re flying. That’s where wedding dress boxes for travel come in.

There are a few different types of travel dress boxes available. The most common type is a hard-sided box with a hinged lid. These boxes are generally made from molded plastic or cardboard and can be quite bulky and heavy. If you’re looking for a more lightweight option, there are also collapsible wedding dress boxes available. These boxes typically have a fabric cover and are made from lightweight materials, such as plastic or nylon.

No matter what type of box you choose, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, be sure to measure your dress to make sure you get a box that’s the right size. You don’t want it to be too big or too small, as this can be difficult to transport and could damage your dress. Additionally, be sure to pack your dress carefully in the box. You’ll want to use tissue paper or clothing packing bags to keep it from getting wrinkled.

If you’re traveling by air, be sure to check with your airline to see if they have any restrictions on the size and weight of luggage. Most airlines have weight restrictions of 50 pounds or less, so your dress box may need to be lightweight.

When traveling with your wedding dress, be sure to use a wedding dress box for travel. These boxes are designed to protect your dress from damage and wrinkles, and they’re available in a variety of sizes and styles.

How do you pack a wedding dress for travel?

Packing a wedding dress for travel can be a daunting task. But with a little bit of organisation and preparation, it can be done without any drama. Here are a few tips on how to pack your wedding dress safely and securely for your upcoming trip.

The first step is to protect the dress from any potential damage. You can do this by wrapping it in a protective layer such as a plastic bag or a sheet. This will help to keep it clean and free from any dirt or dust.

Next, you will need to pack the dress in a suitable container. A suitcase or a travel bag is a good option, as it will provide plenty of room and protection for the dress. Make sure that the container is sturdy and well-constructed, as you don’t want the dress to get damaged during transport.

When packing the dress, be sure to use plenty of packing material. This will help to keep it in good condition and prevent it from getting wrinkled. You can use bubble wrap, tissue paper or even cotton socks to protect the dress.

Finally, don’t forget to label the container with your name and contact information. This will help to ensure that the dress is returned to you in the event that it is lost or misplaced.

With these tips in mind, you can pack your wedding dress for travel with ease. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your dress arrives at your destination in perfect condition.

How much does it cost to get a wedding dress boxed?

How much it costs to get a wedding dress boxed depends on a few factors. The size of the dress, the type of box, and the shipping service all play a role in the final price. Generally, you can expect to pay around $50 to have a wedding dress boxed and shipped.

There are a few things to keep in mind when getting your wedding dress boxed. First, the dress should be clean and dry before boxing. If there is any damage to the dress, such as a tear or a stain, you will need to have it repaired before boxing. Second, the dress should be folded carefully to avoid wrinkles. Finally, you will need to choose the right type of box.

There are several types of boxes available for shipping a wedding dress. The most common type is a standard cardboard box. These boxes are available at most shipping stores and are relatively inexpensive. However, they are not very sturdy and can be easily damaged in transit.

Another option is a padded mailing envelope. These envelopes are made of heavy-duty cardboard and are padded with foam insulation. They are more expensive than cardboard boxes, but they are much more durable and will help protect the dress from damage.

Finally, you can also choose to have the dress boxed in a custom wooden crate. These crates are very expensive, but they offer the best protection for your dress. They are also the most durable option and can be reused multiple times.

When choosing a shipping service, be sure to ask about insurance. Most shipping services offer insurance for an additional fee. This will help protect your dress in case of damage or loss during transit.

In summary, the cost to get a wedding dress boxed depends on the size of the dress, the type of box, and the shipping service. You can expect to pay around $50 for a standard cardboard box, $75 for a padded mailing envelope, and $200 for a custom wooden crate. Be sure to ask about insurance when selecting a shipping service.

Can I keep my wedding dress in a box?

When you get married, one of the things you’ll likely want to do is save your wedding dress. While there are many ways to store a wedding dress, one option is to put it in a box. Here’s what you need to know about keeping your wedding dress in a box.

The first thing you’ll need to do is find a box that is the right size. You’ll want to make sure the box is big enough to fit your dress, and that there is plenty of room for it to move around.

Next, you’ll need to find a place to store the box. You’ll want to make sure the area is dry and dark. You may also want to consider putting the box in a closet or in the basement.

Once you have the box, you’ll need to pack the dress. You’ll want to make sure the dress is folded properly, and that there is no moisture or dust in the box.

If you’re looking for a long-term storage option, you may want to consider getting a vacuum sealer. This will help keep the dress safe from moisture and dust.

Overall, storing a wedding dress in a box is a good way to protect it from damage. If you take the time to pack it properly, your dress should last for many years.

How do you pack a wedding dress in a box?

When it comes time to pack up your wedding dress for storage or transport, it’s important to take care with how you do it. Dresses can easily get wrinkled or stained if not packed properly. Here are a few tips for packing your wedding dress in a box.

1. Start by folding the dress in half, width-wise.

2. Next, fold the dress in half again, this time length-wise.

3. Now, fold the dress in half once more. You should now have a long, thin package.

4. If you have a veil or any other accessories, pack them separately.

5. Place the dress in a large box that is deep enough to accommodate it.

6. Fill any empty spaces in the box with packing peanuts or tissue paper.

7. Make sure the dress is secure and won’t move around in the box.

8. Label the box with your name and the date of the wedding.

If you’re storing your dress, it’s a good idea to place it in a dry, cool place. A closet or storage unit is a good option. If you’re transporting the dress, make sure it’s in a sturdy box that won’t be damaged in transit.

How do you pack a gown in a suitcase?

When traveling, packing a formal gown can be a challenge. You want to make sure it arrives at your destination in the same condition as when you packed it. Here are a few tips on how to pack a gown in a suitcase.

If the gown is crumpled, try to smooth it out as much as possible. Put it on a hanger and hang it in the closet. If you don’t have a closet, you can hang it in the bathroom. The humidity will help to smooth out the wrinkles.

If the gown is not crumpled, you can put it in a suitcase. If it is a full-length gown, you may want to fold it in half so it doesn’t take up too much space. If it is a shorter gown, you can just fold it in half.

If you are worried about the gown getting wrinkled, you can put it in a garment bag.

Make sure to pack any accessories you may need, such as a necklace, earrings, and shoes.

Pack a travel-sized bottle of fabric conditioner to help keep the gown looking its best.

These are just a few tips on how to pack a gown in a suitcase. For more information, contact your local dry cleaner.

How do you pack a garment bag on a plane?

When packing a garment bag for a flight, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure that the garment bag is within the carry-on size restrictions set by the airline. Second, be sure to pack the garment bag with clothes that can be easily accessed during the flight. Finally, use packing cubes or bags to organize the clothes in the garment bag.

To pack a garment bag on a plane, start by folding the clothes that will be packed in the garment bag. Next, use packing cubes or bags to organize the clothes. If using packing cubes, place one cube in the bottom of the garment bag and place the clothes on top of the cube. If using bags, place the clothes in one bag and tie the top of the bag.

Once the clothes are organized, place the garment bag in the carry-on luggage and zip it up. If there is extra room in the garment bag, place any other items in the carry-on luggage. Finally, zip up the carry-on luggage and place it in the overhead bin or beneath the seat in front of you.

How long before wedding dress turned yellow?

How long before your wedding dress turns yellow? 

This is a question that many brides-to-be ask, as they want to make sure their dress looks its best on their big day. The good news is that most wedding dresses will not turn yellow, no matter how long you wear them. However, there are a few things you can do to help prevent your dress from yellowing. 

One of the main causes of yellowing is sweat. To help prevent your dress from yellowing, make sure to avoid wearing it too often before your wedding, and try to avoid sweating in it. You may also want to consider having it dry cleaned before your wedding. 

Another cause of yellowing is sunlight. To help protect your dress from the sun, make sure to store it in a dark place, preferably in a wedding dress bag or box. 

If you do notice your dress starting to yellow, don’t panic. There are a few things you can do to help get the yellow out. One is to soak the dress in a mixture of water and lemon juice. Another is to soak it in a mixture of water and baking soda. You can also try using a commercial stain remover. 

However, if your dress is significantly yellowed, you may need to have it professionally cleaned.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
