| I am so stressed and I started a year before. Start as soon as you can. The sooner the better. |

| Yes.Book the ceromony/reception site.Immediately send out invitations.It's best to shop at local bridal shops.Ordering online can take up to 6 months and plus you need time for alterations.Pick out bridesmaid dresses.Go to the florist.Pick a cake.Best bet is to coordinate with a planner.Tell her what you want and she makes it happen! |

| I think 2years is a little to early! Your taste changes alot in 2years, and your bridesmaids may change, etc...I would wait for a little while! |

| it's never too early to start looking...it's fun. however, I would book anything until about 1-1.5 years beforehand. That's plenty of time of the big things like venue, caterer, dress, etc. You'll change your mind so many times...especially on the details like flowers, invites, etc...don't do those until 6-9 months before the wedding. |

| I think 1 year is plenty of time to plan a wedding. However, if you want to start planning, why not?Actually, some of the very popular reception venues get booked 2 years ahead of time (at least they do in the LA area)...so that is one area where you might want to start looking. If you love a venue, put down a deposit & reserve it. That's assuming you've chosen your actual wedding date.Good luck! |

| It's never too early, but a good wedding can be planned in about 12 months. If you are very fashion conscious, keep in mind that styles do change and if you are looking for dresses 2-3 years ahead, try to stick to something classic that won't be "out" by the time of your wedding. Most dresses DO take at least 4 months to order and another month or two for alterations. My suggestion is if you have a specific place you want your ceremony and/or reception that you coordinate that FIRST because you will be surprised at the waiting lists some places have and you want both locations available on the same day, so you may need to book a year or two in advance. The sooner, the better for all wedding bookings! If you have a favorite type of flower that you have to have in your wedding, keep in mind that if that particular flower is out-of-season on your wedding date, the flowers will cost you more than double to have them shipped from a more distant location (usually south of the equator where seasons are opposite). |

| nope it's not too early. get ideas of styles now to see how your bm's like them. that part of it will take up most of your time.... everyone agreeing on a dress they like. this way you can really start looking and making sure that places will have the date you choose and you can put the down payments that way you have the place and don't feel like the place is going to over book and bump you. just remember styles change from year to year so make sure that the dress everyone agrees on is something the store is going to carry for a while till you can get everyone together and pay for it. |

| There are certain things I would hold off on- dresses for one. Styles change and if you get a dress now, then you may find one later you like better.Looking at reception sites, food options and flowers can be a good idea because it can give you a framework, theme and general idea of what the wedding will cost. |

| look and get ideas. maybe book the caterer, photographer, and location in a few months, but DON'T BUY DRESSES YET! i bought mine a year and a half before my wedding, and trust me, your idea of you're whole wedding will change, and you'll want another dress! just look around for a while and save up money if you have to!don't send out invites immediately! that's crazy! whoever said that...have you had a wedding? people will forget when your wedding is! do start early, but take your time with the big ideas (dress, etc.) the earlier you start the better, but you also don't want to change your mind!and DO NOT ASK YOUR BRIDESMAIDS TO BE IN THE WEDDING YET! save that for closer. i know you say you know who you want in the wedding and that won't change, but i had a bridesmaid that i have NEVER fought with, and we've been friends since 3rd grade. i asked her to be in the wedding a year and a half before, and we ended up having a disagreement and now aren't speaking. i had ot give her her money back for her dress just the other day, and i've got 3 months until the wedding. the girls who are closest to you will know inside that they will be in your wedding. no need to ask formally until about a year beforehand, unless it's absolutely necessary. PLEASE take my word on this. |

| the earlier that you start planning, the better. the more prepared you are for all of what it takes to put a wedding together and the less stress that you have for yourself. the early bird gets the worm and that is very true with weddings. you will be more likely to book the places that you want for ceremony and reception sites the earlier you start planning. |

| ok so i thought at first you said 3 months and I was typing fast because i was thinking about how fast you needed to do things. lol so two years three months isn't bad at all. plan the date. pick out the colors, theme if any, but don't order or set anything up for sure until about 13 months out. but if it is a place that is hard to get into may want to plan out the place NOW. so you can be sure you get the date and time you want. |
