While it may seem like a daunting undertaking, it really only comes down to doing the right things at the right time to ensure that the wedding goes off without a hitch.
So, without further ado, here is the definite wedding checklist courtesy of http://www.americanfloraldistributors.com/ :

One Year In Advance:
When you have a full 12 months or more to go before the wedding, don’t start thinking you can take it easy. The planning begins at that point and you have to be ready for the large amount of tasks ahead of you. Here are the first few tasks you need to get out of the way:

Choose the size and location (_____________________________)

Draw up a budget figure of $____________________

Reserve the location for the wedding

Find the wedding rings

Start drawing up a guest list and plan an engagement party

Meet with the wedding official or church official

Nine to 12 Months In Advance
Granted, you still have a ways to go before the wedding hits, but you still need to start getting ready and preparing for the big day. The pressure may not be on yet, but it soon will be unless you tackle these tasks well in advance.

Order the wedding dress

Begin researching and reserving caterers, florist(s) and photographer(s)
