Destination wedding: what to pack

A destination wedding means smart clothes, travel clothes and holiday clothes in one bag. Organisation decides whether the outfit arrives ready to wear.

The kit list

Packing cubes keep the wedding outfit separate and less creased. A wash bag with compartments keeps make-up and grooming kit together, and a small crossbody or messenger bag works for the ceremony and the evening.

Weigh the case before you go. Shoes and outfits add up quickly, and airline fees for overweight bags are high.

Packing the outfit

Packing cubes
Cubes keep each type of clothing together, so you find things without emptying the bag.
Foldaway bag
Packs flat on the way out and takes the extra shopping on the way home.
Luggage scale
Weigh the bag before you leave so there is no surprise fee at the airport.

Getting ready

Wash bag
One hanging or wide-opening bag keeps toiletries together and away from your clothes.

The day and the evening

Crossbody bag
A small bag that zips shut and sits in front of you in busy places.
Passport and card holder
Keeps passport, boarding pass and cards in one place, with RFID blocking on the card slots.
Phone stand
Props a phone or tablet up for films on trains, planes and hotel desks.

Tips for the trip

  • Hang the outfit as soon as you arrive; most creases drop out overnight.
  • Carry the outfit in hand luggage if the airline allows it.
  • Check the dress code and the weather at the venue before you pack.

Questions

How do I stop a suit or dress creasing in a suitcase?

Fold it around a packing cube or roll it with tissue, pack it last and hang it as soon as you arrive. A hotel steamer or a hot shower helps.
