There is no "common etiquette" on this topic, meaning that there is no rule or shared opinion on it. Researching many sources though, it seems that many brides take off the entire week leading up to the wedding, or almost universally brides take off the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday leading up to the wedding (assuming it is on a Saturday.) For the Honeymoon, a week to two weeks seems about the average length. You probably don't want to push it more than that. 


The big secret is to not overwhelm yourself or let nerves overcome you. Of course you are going to be excited as your wedding approaches, but make sure you have help with your planning. All the last minute details can be delegated to help make things run as smooth as possible for you. If you find that you think you need to take off a month to get things done, then that's a good sign that you may need to work on some time-management, and getting some support from your girls or family!
The best advice if it's not too late, is this: if you want your employer to give you consideration with your time off, then in return give your employer some consideration with when you schedule the wedding and honeymoon. If you are in a job that has strict deadlines, don'texpectyourbosstobehappythatyouplannedyourweddingrightatthebusiesttimeofyear. Byshowingthatyouare concerned about your employer and your job when planning the time off, that may help them to be sympathetic and helpful.
Lastly, you can check the various wedding website forums and ask your question to other brides...Beware the bad advice that I found out there such as "I quit my job before the wedding!" and "take as much time as you like!" Of course your wedding is important, but be practical...It's not necessary to lose your job in the process.
