Wedding dresses can be voluminous. A giant fluffy ball gown would not fit in the closet. A tea length white dress in a garment bag might. People stuff all kinds of things in the closet, so an unprotected dress could get really squished.
Best advice is above: Get the dress shop to pack the dress in a box that will fit in a suitcase, then carry it that way. If it's too big for a carry on bag, then ship it ahead of time with an insured trustworthy carrier. Line up a service at the destination to steam and press out the wrinkles.
Remember, someone shipped the dress to the dress shop. They know how to pack wedding dresses.
