Quick question for you all: I've got my heart set on my dress, and am planning to order it from a particular boutique in Minnesota because the owner there is just one of the best people. When I talked with her when I first tried on dresses, she was so kind and personable. (She runs a plus-size boutique, and said she had started the business because when she worked at David's, she always felt horrible when bigger women came in because they were kind of mistreated sometimes. Her own daughter was told to "just have the saleswoman try on the dress, you'll see what it looks like".)

So, I want to order my dress from her (in Minnesota). The wedding itself will be in Minnesota. My fiance and I will be living in Cleveland from June until past the wedding. My question is: where should I keep the dress?

I'm concerned about being able to get alterations done because I'm not sure how time off is going to work at my new job, or how much time I'm really going to have to plan this wedding in Minnesota. (We're hoping to just make a bunch of weekend trips and hire a wedding planner.)

But would it be better to store it in Minnesota and get all alterations done there, or would it be better to bring it back to Cleveland, get all the alterations done there, and then bring it with me the weekend of our wedding? Thoughts? I feel like I'm planning a really weird destination wedding...
