GO TO www.theknot.com for a complete checklist
I would do photography and flowers asap
good vendors book fast same for DJ

as for favors, you can do that even a month before your wedding, especially if you order online
I did mine about three months ago but it can be a yr or a month before :) JMO

as for your dress/veil ASAP,I got mine over a year ago but that was really early........but you want to go for several fittings, etc.... and it takes time start looking now b/c you might not find something right away
Good luck

Start going for hair/makeup trials as soon as you know how you want to wear your hair (or thinkyou know).

Veils - as soon as you have your dress and general idea of what you want to look like along with your hair idea.

Limos - a few months before the wedding. You can do this as early as 6 months before but 3-4 months is plenty of time.

Invites - Depends on how custom you want. My invites took forever because they were custom and every change takes a few days. But if you are ordering out of a book, 12 weeks before your wedding is good.

Favors - Buy them when you find them to save you agita but you can wait until the last month if you really want to.
