Dreaming of a destination wedding? Whether you plan on getting married on tropical sands or a romantic blanket of snow, brides will need to find a dress that suits both their personal bridal style and wedding location. Keep reading to learn how to choose a destination wedding dress and some of our favorite styles that are beautiful no matter where in the world you say, “I do!”  

What Is a Destination Wedding Dress? 

When it comes to shopping for a destination wedding dress, there are certainly a few attributes that you’ll want to pay attention to. Below are a few trips from our True Crew: 

  • Some fabrics fare better than others when it comes to wedding travel. Keep in mind the bulkiness and length as you visit your local True Society bridal boutique. At your consultation, tell your bridal stylist about your destination wedding plans; this can help them pick dress options that can be easy to store, travel and wear for your special day!
  • For brides planning on traveling a few days or weeks prior to the big day, give your bridal stylist both the date that you leave and the actual wedding date. This ensures your wedding dress will be ready ahead of time before you say “bon voyage!” 
  • If you are traveling by plane, try to keep your dress in a solid color garment bag or carefully fold it into a carry-on luggage bag that can fit in the overhead bin. Most airlines have more information regarding carry-on luggage sizing available on their website. 
  • Before traveling with your wedding dress, put a card with your name, phone number and other important contact information inside of the garment bag or luggage. Some brides nowadays are even putting Apple AirTags in their dress bags to keep tabs in case they do have to separate from it!
