When to highlight?

I want to get highlights before my wedding (I like my hair lighter, but I'm currently trying to grow out the last bits of color I have left). How far before the wedding should I get them? I don't want to have two-toned grown out hair, but I also don't want that too-new too-light color...

    I've heard to color your hair 2 weeks before your wedding.  That should give it enough time to not look "too-new,"  but not long enough that you should have grow out.

    I got my hair highlighted about 2.5 weeks before my wedding.  It gave it time to "settle in" but not enough time for it to start to grow out.

    When you have your hair colored, how long does it take before you think it looks perfect? That's the time frame I would go for. I had my hair colored 6 days before the wedding because I like the color best when in the first 2 weeks, when it's nice and dark and vibrant.

    my girl told me to come 10 days before... also if you are getting blonde highlights you want enough time especially if you are going on a honeymoon and will be in a pool.  blonde and chlorine... :)

    I'm highlighting 4 days before. I love my hair right after it's done. I swear I see greys a couple weeks out and I don't want to worry about it on my honeymoon. My hair removal timeline is 2 days. It's such a fine line. Sigh. Being a girl is a pain in the ass :))

    This. I am most likely doing the week before. But I've heard 1-2 weeks before.

    I did my highlights & final trim 2 weeks before the wedding. I had done a full color about 1 1/2 - 2 months before my wedding. I was worried if I did highlights on top my existing highlights that it would be too blond for me so I did a full color to match my roots so basically starting off with a clean slate when I did my highlights.
