This is the first time I've gotten married.

Maybe I should have researched. I guess a year is the basic planning time for a wedding. Your dress, for example, takes 6-8 months. 6-8 months. All of the bridal timelines tell you to order your flowers more than six months out.

That's one of the phrases I've learned from this, my second job: "__ months out." As in, "Oh, you're only three months out. Hmmm. Well, let's see. I'm sure we can do something..." Ya, like take my money? Please, please, please take my money.
