I recently got engaged and am planning a wedding for summer 2017. My finance and I are from Iowa, but recently moved to Arizona. We would like to have our wedding in Iowa, because most of our family and friends live in the midwest. I have always looked forward to planning my wedding and being involved in every aspect.. bridal shows, dress shopping with family and friends, cake tasting etc. I am worried that trying to plan the wedding from afar that I will miss out on these things. I recently got a new job in Arizona and don't have a lot of vacation time or the budget to go home for all of these things.
Any advice on planning a wedding out of state would be very helpful!
