 Mourning etiquette would say 6 months.
Old fashioned but sensible.
Enough time to show due respect and comfort your mom , and not enough to turn your life plans completely upside down .

hi
my gran passed away 2 days before my wedding. she was cremated on my wedding day.so depends whether it is almost impossible to postpone(as in my case).
i agree both you and your fiance need to decide. you want to wait for a respectable mourning period before marrying. but what would your dad have wanted for you? you can also speak to your mum and find out her toughts.

 This is something you and your fiance need to discuss. Tell him you're thinking September and see what he says about the matter.

The Realist is real here...no reason not to postpone your wedding because a celebration would go against the grain right now...just don't make it too long. I'm sorry for the loss of your father.

 I think september is reasonable. Any longer and your fiance may start to feel like you don't want to get married. I can imagine that a celebration would not be easy now but your father wouldn't want you to push back your day so long.
