Just keep her in the loop.  Thanks to the wonders of telephone and the internet, you can easily show her pictures of what you have in mind, or consult her for her opinion on various menu items or flowers.

Ditto to aerin, with today's technology it should be pretty easy to keep her in the loop with wedding stuff. Simple things like sending her pictures of some of the things you have chosen or debating on should make her feel included.

Does she have a trip planned to visit you in FL anytime in the future? If so maybe you can arrange a tasting with her, or perhaps MOG dress or accessory shopping? Send pics of the venue you are looking at. Ask what her favorite flowers are.

Just call her up and dicuss your plans and ask her opinion on things.  If she wants to do more than that, she'll probably ask you.

Email! Save pictures from the knot to your computer and email ones you like, or even ones you don't like. My fi's mom appreciates it even if I'm not asking her opinion, just telling her what we've done recently about the wedding. I think they just want to be in the loop, not necessarily decide on things.

I am also states away from my fiance's mom, and she would love to help so she offered to tie programs, put ribbons around bubbles (if we want them). Little things like that that I can mail to her and she can finish off and then bring them to the wedding. Good luck!
