Hi Ladies,

 

I just had a panic moment about taking my wedding dress through security and customs at the airport!  Are they going to take it out or want to look underneath it in the bag?  Will it fit through the scanner?!  I'm now having some anxiety about it because I dont want random people touching it and moving it around in the bag!  Does anyone have any previous experience with this or know how security would deal with it at the airport?

 

TIA!

Are you packing it in a carryon or checking it in a bag?  What country are you traveling to?  Those make a big difference in how it's handled.

 

If you check it, you shouldn't have any problems.  They spot-check bags occasionally, but they shouldn't do more than confirm that there's nothing illegal hidden in the folds of the dress, if you do even get checked.

 

If it's in your carry-on, or if you're simply carrying it, it will have to go through security.  You can ask to have it hand-checked and not go through the scanner if you're worried about it - depends on how poofy it is :)  You can also ask them to wear gloves to check it, so that it doesn't get dirty. 

 

It will mean that security takes you much longer than normal, but it will mean that you're able to keep an eye on who's touching the dress.

I'm going to carry on my dress, but I hadn't even thought about security or the scanner, my dress is pretty poufy.  Definately something to think about!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
