wedding dress box? and *flash* of my odd ring :)

My sister got married abroad and had her dress packed into a little suitcase (hand luggage size) i think she got it in tk maxx for £10-15. might be an option for you. check with your airline for size & weight restrictions. plus i love your ring, it is beautiful & its so nice that you chose it fotr its meanings, very sweet

Thank you!! It's very helpful!

I don't have a clue about the dress box - sorry! ?

But just wanted to say I too like your choice of ring and that you chose it because it means something to you and not because it's just a standard/plain wedding band. Ignore your family, it's beautiful! At the end of the day it's you that has to wear it ... If you're happy with it, that's all that matters! x

Hi! I am also getting married abroad and will be having my dress packed into a dress box. I got mine 2nd hand off Ebay (it was originally one of the Empty Box Company ones with the floral pattern on) and it was about £20 instead of £60. I am just going to ask friends and family on our flight to write good luck messages for me on the box on the way there to make it more personal to me. There are other types of boxes on ebay that are approx £20 but they're plain white ones with plastic handles - not as elegant as the Empty Box ones but they do the job! Other than that i have heard of people just packing them into a normal hand luggage case? Good luck!

Can't comment re box, but I like the idea of the small suitcase- you can use it again after the wedding, and you use the pockets of it to put magazines/books etc. Also, you can get ones that specifically fit the dimensions of the cabin baggage (they state it on the label).

I think the ring is lovely, I have always loved sapphires. Whislt I think it;s an unusual shape for WR and looks more like an ER, if you love it, have it! It has nothing to do with your parents.

Just to through a suggestion into the mix, have you thought about having a WR that is an enternity ring with alternate diamonds/sapphires?

Dilly Dandy- love your WR BTW. I love the mix of metals ?

... And I have to wear it for many years. Got to get the one I love! xx Thanks for the lovely msg.

That's exactly the reason I changed my mind and went for a ring that makes me feel special. ? Thanks for the pic support ? I like those colours too!

Empty Box does have some designs that I like. I was thinking of just packing it in a normal hand luggage case as well, but wasn't brave enough to take the rick. If any thing happened, I probably had to show up at my wedding in vest & short & flip flop lol

I have already bought mine ... but that's a very nice ring!

Hi, I purchased a Wedding Travel Box for my sister from the Empty Box Company website and it was only £31.50 plus postage, and it is made to preserve the dress after the day so better really than a suitcase. They are not as expensive as you think! It was in a beautiful paper design as well and it was my present to her and she just loved it!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your ring, it's gorgeous. Have what you want, everyone else will get over it in a short time x

I for married in Florida 1st time round I just packed my dress in a normal case ! There was no problems with it, I just hung it up in the shower room that sorted any creasers
