No, enthronement (or enthronization) takes place after consecration:
Enthronization
(From Greek ’enthronízein, to place on a throne).
This word has been employed in different meanings: (1) formerly, it meant
the solemn placing of the relics upon the altar of a church which was to be
consecrated, hence a newly consecrated church was called naos
enthroniasmenos (naňs ’enthroniasménos). (2) In the Middle Ages we find the
inthronizatio matrimonii, or enthronization of marriage, which was nothing
else than the blessing in the nuptial Mass (benedictio nuptiarum). (3) In
the East it was employed, but seldom, to denote the induction into a
parochial benefice. (4) It was used especially to designate the ceremony of
enthronization which accompanies the consecration of a bishop. After
receiving episcopal consecration, the newly consecrated bishop was solemnly
conducted to the episcopal throne, of which he took possession.
