So far I have:

3pm - ceremony
2:45pm - limo gets me and my dad
(we live 4 blocks from the church)
1pm - photographer coming
11am - make up starting


After this I am clueless...



I have the same ceremony time and distance to the church so here is mine

8:30- wake-up
8:30-9:30- breakfast
9:30-11:00-hair
11:00-12:00-Makeup
12:00-12:30-Get dressed
1:00- photographer
2:45- Limo
3:00-Ceremony

I left some extra time in there for minor stuff to go wrong, since it probably will!

Now if you are doing an up-do, they usually request you don't do your hair the morning of, so that could save you some time

I am having a half up and half down, and I am cheating. I wont feel fully fresh and clean if I dont wash my hair that morning.

Mine is a little easier since I don't have a bridal party to content with, just my sister. But she is high maintenance. The same girl is doing her hair and her makeup. She will get her hair done while I get my makeup done and then her makeup while I get dressed and start taking pictures.
