After expressing how stressful it seems to travel with a wedding gown, one of the consultants at the bridal shop offered an interesting alternative. She stated that there is an option to vacuum package my dress and that would make it small enough to put in a carry on bag. She said they layer protective tissue first, then vacuum package the dress and it ends up being about the size of a watermelon, just more cylinder like in shape. Upon arrival, the dress would need steaming as most dresses do. Has anyone had experience with this/heard of it?

Hello! I am also a VIM bride, getting married there March 2015. I have visited the resort 2 times prior however, once in Feb 2012 and just this past October. You have made a wonderful choice and I don't think you will be disappointed. I have tons of photos of the resort and am happy to help if there's any way I can.
