Ok so we're getting married in Chattanooga, TN which is in the same area where we met, and where I lived most of my life. However, we live in Indiana. It's 500 miles and about 8 hours to drive there.
My original plan was to just ask my future MIL (who still lives in the area) if I could have things shipped to her house and store them in one of their spare rooms that way we wouldn't have to worry about getting so much stuff there. The sticky part is that I am also planning on DIYing all my floral arrangements (nothing else at the moment but that could change tomorrow 
) , so I'd either have to figure out a way to get them down ahead of time or we drive. Then that got me thinking about the stress of flying with my dress as well.
Should I suck it up and sacrifice my budget to just buy already assembled arrangements and possibly my dress its own plane ticket? Or should we load up our car with our whole wedding and make a road trip?
