Traveling with the Wedding Gown


Recommended Posts

Hey Ladies,

 

I have a dilemma. I am leaving next Wednesday for ROR. We're flying on UsAir and I am dead set against packing my gown. I want to bring it on the plane, but we're not flying first class and I don't know if the flight attendant will be willing to hang it up somewhere. I contacted customer service at USAir and they gave me their line "you can bring it on the plane as long as it fits in the overhead cabin or slides under your seat." Has anyone figured out what they're going to do about their dress? And for those of you that have already been, what did you do? Does ROR have somewhere on the Resort where it can get pressed?

From what I have heard is everyone on board understands that the big bag is the "dress" and is very reasonable about not putting their items in the overhead (if you ahve to put it there due to FC restrictions). I would be there early and go to the CSA agent asking them if you can pre-board due to special circumstances and see what they say.

Honestly 98% of flight attendants will hang it in the closet it for you... if not, lay it on top of bags in the overhead bins. You can't guarantee people won't put their bags in them or they might have to do to not having enough room... so i suggest asking and then if you have to lay it on top of the bags.

Thanks! That makes me feel a lot better. I'm going to see if the flight attendant will hang it up. But worse case scenario, I'll just lay it in the overhead bin. And our flight leaves at 5:50 am, so I'm sure it won't be a full flight.

When we flew to Mexico for our wedding, we had no problem hanging my dress and Jay's suit in the closet on the plane. We just vacationed at ROR earlier this month. They do have a laundry service so I bet having the dress steamed and pressed will be no problem. I would give them a call to be sure. The resort is wonderful by the way. You are going to have a great time!

I just folded mine into thirds & put it in my carry-on, then hung it in the bathroom while I took a hot shower & it steamed itself rather nicely.

 

I saw LOTS of brides with theirs in garment bags, and I was glad I just stuffed mine. I guess it depends on how big & involved your dress is. Mine was relatively simple & didn't really wrinkle. Snapfish: Share Photo:Registration

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
