Book the church and the reception facilities (for ease, go with a reception location that does food too)...
The book a photographer.
Then buy a dress.
Then order bridesmaid dresses (they can take up to 5 months to come in!!)
Then order invitations
Obsess about details (bubbles vs. rice? out of town boxes? programs? music selections? etc.)
I'm pretty active on TheKnot and as long as you stay in certain places, the site is very helpful. I'd be glad to tell you how to see my stuff there...just send me a PM here and I'll tell you my knot user name and you can see my bio. stuff.
The best place to get ideas is to go to the knot's message boards and look through bios. Also check out
www.specialtybios.com -- there are great ideas there.
Hope that helps! I'm at the 2 month mark and have sooo much stuff done!
