Hi all, new Knottie here!
I'm starting my masters program in mid-September, and my wedding is just after my 4th quarter next year (Sept. 2011). In the last few months between undergrad and grad, I've knocked out my wedding venue and date, and before I head back to school, I'm hoping to have figured out my vendors for music, flowers and photo/video. And as if that's not crazy enough, my mom wants to look at dresses with me before I go.
One thing I'm not sure about is where I should be looking. Would it be smarter to more seriously look at dresses when I'm in school several states away, which is where I will be spending almost the entirety of my next year, and then have it shipped back for the wedding? Or should I more actively look at dresses at home, picking something over my winter break and try to find time to fly back for fittings? My mom desperately wants to be there when I pick the dress and I understand that but I'm not sure if it makes sense logistically.
