Hello.
I’ve been a one bag traveler for a few years now and for my next international trip I’m facing a bit of a challenge.
My husband and I will be renewing our vows (eloping style) in Scotland in a few months and on purpose I bought the most lightweight, packable dress I could find. I know this is probably not the best time to do a one bag type of trip but now I’m wondering how in the world should I do this. Maybe checking my backpack and bring the dress as a carry on? Get a hard shell carry on and pack everything in there?
The dress is not a typical wedding dress with a train and a petticoats, it’s a regular ivory dress that if you dye it in any other color would look like an evening dress.
For my backpack with my regular travel clothes I’m planning on taking my EBags weekender Jr if that helps.
And to be honest, I have no idea how to proceed because I never go to destination weddings or cruises or any other out-of-town events where I would have the need to travel with a gown or dressier clothes.
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit to add: thank you very much for your suggestions. My dress hasn’t even arrived yet but I’m already planning ahead about packing and stuff.
I think I’m leaning towards buying a hardshell carryon. I think I’ll be better that way.
