Are you jet-setting for your big day? If so, we’re here to help you find the perfect destination wedding dresses! There are a few key factors to keep in mind when picking your wedding dress for a getaway wedding, whether you’re saying your vows on a sun-kissed beach or on the top of a wintry mountain. Let’s break down what to look for and a few tips for traveling with your destination bridal gown:
The Right Dress for the Right Destination
The first step to finding the perfect destination wedding gown is to match your dress to your location. This is really where the magic starts! A lightweight, airy wedding dress would be perfect for a beach wedding. On the other hand, a satin ball gown or A-line wedding dress would be fabulous at a chic city venue.

If you’re planning a vineyard destination wedding, a gorgeous lace fit and flare or even an airy chiffon bridal gown for a romantic touch.
Ultimately, when you’re thinking about the location, make sure you think about the scenery, the climate, and the overall vibe of your wedding.

Comfort is the next key factor to choosing a destination wedding dress. From saying your vows at the ceremony to dancing under the stars at your reception, comfort needs to be your top priority. Consider opting for breathable fabrics and dresses that allow you to move freely, especially if you’ll be in a hotter climate.

Tips for Traveling with Your Wedding Dress
The golden rule for traveling with your bridal gown is to never, under any circumstances, put your wedding dress in a checked bag. Most airlines are pretty understanding when it comes to traveling with something as special as a wedding dress and will allow you to bring a garment bag as a carry-on. Some might even offer to hang it in a first-class closet for you - it’s totally worth asking!
You also want to be extra cautious when packing your destination wedding dress. Before you zip up the garment bag, make sure you’re aware of how to care for your gown. The experts at Gowns of Grace are always here to offer our top tips for picking the best luggage that will suit your wedding dress! Once you’ve landed, make sure you immediately unpack your dress and either steam it yourself or find a local professional who can do it for you. This will guarantee your wedding dress is free of any wrinkles caused by traveling.
