Things you need to do six to nine months before your wedding.

By this time, you should already have your wedding date and venues selected.  If you do not, then you will need to get that done as soon as possible. 

• Select your Wedding Party, this includes maid of honor, bridesmaids, best man, groomsmen, ushers, as well as a flower girl and ring bearer. 
• Book all of your vendors, these include your florist, photographer, videographer, DJ or musicians, and caterer. 
• The bride will need to schedule an appointment to try on and purchase a wedding gown.
• Bridesmaids need to select their dresses, shoes, and jewelry.
• Groom and groomsmen need to select and order their tuxes. 

When selecting dresses for  your bridesmaids, see if the bridal shop has a sample or a swatch of their dress colors.  Then you can take that swatch to your florist to try to get the flowers to match closely with the rest of the colors.
