I found this handy wedding dress checklist on brides.com. It is a great checklist for a year before your date up until the big day with the major events that need to be checked off. Hope this helps!
8 to 12 months out: Start your dress search.
6 to 8 months out: Order your dress now so you'll have plenty of time to attend fittings. Get a swatch of fabric from your dress so that you can match shoes and other accessories. Make shopping for accessories and choosing a hairstyle easier by taking front and back photos of yourself in your dress to have on hand.
3 to 6 months out: Shop for your accessories. Including bra/panties, Hosiery, Headpiece, Veil, Petticoat/slip, Gloves, Jewelry, Wrap or shawl, Handbag, Garter.
2 to 3 months out: Attend your first fitting. Bring your shoes, lingerie and accessories with you. Within this time period you should also attend your final wedding dress fitting.
1 to 2 weeks out: Pick up your wedding dress. Try it on one last time before you leave the salon to make certain that it fits just right.
