Wedding Style :: Planning from Afar

Planning your wedding while living in a different city, is a challenging obstacle for many couples. Dedicating a little more time to how to best organize your plans and travel can go along ways to decreasing your wedding related headaches.

Keep your Plans Organized
If you are planning from afar, you’ll have a lot of email communications to keep straight. With Nuance Occasions, all our couples get an online workroom…it allows them to post their thoughts, inspiration photos to us, and allows us to post thier contracts, timelines, checklists, & updated vendor payments in one spot for them to access from any computer at any time.

“We loved how Nuance Occasions were opened to listening to any ideas we had and helping us to make better decisions! The online workroom was a huge asset, since we were planning our wedding in Edmonton from California” ~ Mackenzie & Joshua (August 2009)

Although our online workrooms are popular for all our couples – it’s our out of town couples that really appreciate this system for keeping up to date on their wedding and planning details – across the time zones, sharing of ideas & new developments happen around the clock – effortlessly!

Plan your Trips Wisely
If at all possible, schedule a couple trips to your wedding city – but plan them well in advance. When our couples come into town for a week, we usually try to schedule two days as wedding days – and fit as many of the vendor appointments and meetings into those days. We know you have other people to visit or things to do in our region and want you to enjoy all your time near, and not drown you in wedding plans.

Get a Wedding Planner
A wedding planner in the region will be familiar with the average costs, legalities regarding your event (insurance, alcohol policies, marriage requirements, etc), and most importantly save you research time. We often are visiting vendors, taking pictures or getting swatches and sending the info back to our couples for review until we have details just right.

Planning a wedding from afar is a bit challenging, but all the challenges are easily overcome with the use of technology and some professional support!
