Mission impossible: Plan a wedding from nearly 4,000 miles away from the site of the ceremony.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to plan every detail of your wedding, which is to take place in Indiana, while living and working in Alaska! This was a REAL scenario for us a few months ago. I have worked with out of town brides before, but this was certainly the greatest distance I had experienced!
With the technology available to us today, working with brides from out of town is not an impossible mission. As a matter of fact, it can be a very positive and rewarding experience! Of course, I prefer to meet brides face to face. However, in the case of 4K miles, a bride just can’t hop a flight to Indy at a moment’s notice! Therefore, the bride and I worked together to create an open line of communication and plan her flower selection down to the finest details.
Our bride, who lives and works in Alaska, contacted me about the possibility of designing the flowers for her wedding. She inquired as to whether or not we could work with her from such a distance. Fortunately, this bride was able to meet with me in person during a visit to Indianapolis a several months prior to her wedding. At that time, I was able to show her samples and begin planning her order with her in person. After our meeting, we corresponded via email, sharing photos and samples of flowers digitally. Over the course of several months, the bride and I kept in close contact via email. 
Finally, the weekend of the wedding arrived! The bride came to our store to preview the completed/designed wedding flower order the day before her wedding. The arrangements turned out wonderfully and she was pleased with the result of our coordinated efforts. I really must give the bride most of the credit, she was fantastic to work with and corresponded with me frequently so we could have all the details worked out in advance.
If you are planning a wedding from across town or out of town, never fear! We are able to accommodate any distance (even 4K miles!) with a little help from technology.
