There is no such thing as a perfect wedding and if you go into it thinking that there won't be any mistakes, you'll be disappointed. If everything works out, great. If the best man flubs his speech, oh well.
You have to take into account that everyone is human and mistakes may happen no matter how much planning you put into the wedding.
Don't focus on having the perfect wedding. Focus on having a wedding that matches you and your fiancee's personalities and having a good time. A wedding is just a really big party, and you want to have fun in celebrating your love, rather than worrying about what's going to happen next.
The average time it takes to plan a wedding is a year, so that you can get everything booked in time, though some people take a little longer and some take less.

It depends on where you want to have the ceremony and reception. Some places you need to book a year in advance or more because of popularity, but other places you can probaly book within a couple months or later. I'd say the average time would be about a year, just to make sure you can research everything and have the day turn out as perfect as you would like it to be. Plus, that way, it is easier to buy things little by little, so you don't end up spending a huge amount of money all at once. We started planning around June '06 for our July '07 wedding, and still have quite a few things to get done (cake, DJ...). But a year gives you plenty of time to do it all and relax on the big day.

Honey, there is no such thing as the perfect wedding. If you go into it thinking that there is and you can achieve it with the "right" selections, you'll be sorely disappointed.
I would say that one thing that brides do that I (a three-time bridesmaid) hate, is that they NEVER seem to take the body type of the bridesmaids into account when selecting gowns. If you are planning to have a wedding party where the women's sizes differ substantially, PLEASE let them decide the styles of their dresses. You can pick the colors and the length even, but please do not force a size 20 woman to wear a dress made for a size 4, and vice versa. Your bridesmaids will thank you for it and it will make a huge difference on the day of the wedding! Other than that, I think you should schedule a year in advance for just about everything. Less than that places a huge amount of stress on yourself, your family and your groom. Good luck!

Most weddings can be planned in 6 months, any less and you're pushing it...the ideal time frame is 12-18 months. Some "platinum" weddings can take 2 years to plan, just because of the many details and logistics.

To get a good hall you need 6 month to a year in advance but a perfectly nice wedding can be arranged in a month or two's time. The more particular you are about every little detail, the more time it could take so really it is up to you. which means more time or a well planned dream of an event.

This is a hard thing to answer. Women, as little girls we start to plan our dream wedding. I guess if you would have to put a time limit it would have to be between 1 to 2 years and you would have to have help in doing so.
It took my husband and I a year and 3 months to plan our perfect wedding.

I am planning it in 10 months and I have all the main stuff done. I was proposed to on November 17th. I didn't waste time because I want to be able to enjoy it and plus relax and not run around at the last minute. I want it to be perfect and the only way it will be that way is going with the flow. Perfect is in the eyes of the beholders

I planned my wedding in 2 1/2 weeks!! Although it turned out to be a VERY beautiful ceremony I would never advise short term planning!! It was both stressful and exciting!
The best thing to do in planning no matter how much time you have is to make a to-do list and use the heck out of that list!! That's the only thing that kept me sane!!
