Packing wedding outfits and jewellery: what to check

Wedding outfits are heavy, embroidered and expensive to replace. Packing by event, with every bag labelled, saves the last-minute search for one dupatta or one pair of earrings.

Breathable garment covers

Carrying and storing heavy outfits without crushing or dust.

What to check

  • Length that fits long outfits without folding the embroidery.
  • A breathable fabric for storage over weeks.
  • A strong zip and a clear label window.

What to avoid

  • Storing embroidered outfits in airtight bags for long periods.

Luggage tags and labels

Telling apart many family bags at stations, airports and hotels.
