Perhaps winter is not the time that is optimal for having a wedding, but it is the right time to start planning for a springtime wedding or even your summer wedding. Now is the time to get your vendors lined up, and soon! Their calendars will start to fill in very quickly now.
Your officiant is perhaps the first person you wish to contact. Not only does she have a great deal of work to do to prepare your ceremony, (especially if she is writing a fresh ceremony, as opposed to using the ol' standby from the Book of Common Prayer) but she will be able to help you plan your wedding. She can answer questions you may have, act as a springboard for ideas, and share her experience. She has a unique vantage point from which to observe the goings on at weddings, including fashion trends and cutting edge ceremonies. Since she performs about 50 weddings a season, that's a well of information that you want to tap.
Of course, there are a lot of things that you will need to plan beyond the ceremony itself, and these are best handled with the caterer, the decorator, the musicians, the baker, and so forth. But for now, you can get started with the most experienced advisor you can have--your officiant.
