Advice needed from past brides and ....

future brides as well. I have a 3:00 ceremony. Photographer is coming at 1:30.
I am getting my hair done at 10:00 and 11:00 is my makeup. Is that too early? I think it is, but that is the only time she can do my hair. I am trying to get her to do it a little later. That means I will have so much time on my hands right??? I have 2 1/2 hours to play around with. What the heck will I do?
Any advice? Should I insist on a later time?

No - You don't want to be rushing and stressed. - My hair was started @ 8:00 (finished at 10ish) and my makeup done at 11:00 ......the photographer came @ 12:30 ......I had enough time to relax and hang out - Not to worry about anything but getting into my gown. -

TY guys!
I guess I am so used to being last minute Susie that I feel like 2 1/2 hours is going to feel like 2 1/2 days.
I will keep the time schedule and stop stressing my hair girl out! LOL

NO not too early. you will want that time. Remember you need to eat a little snack and the hair and makeup might run over, traffic.. whatever. Don't rush it all together. That will just stress you out.

Sorry - didn't read the responses yet but wanted to put my two cents in. I had my ceremony at 3pm and the photographer came at 1pm. Tarale was at my house at 8am and Oksana at 9am...and we only had three people total to do. I have to say that it was wonderful...no one was rushed and we were on time to the church because we were able to pace ourselves and had plenty of time. Both my hair and makeup help up wonferfully throughout the entire day - over 12 hours!

I’m getting my hair done at 9am and MU at 10-10:30am. the limo isn't coming until 12:30pm. I don't want to rush around and be stressed. and this way, if there is a problem and something takes longer or they arrive a little late, it won't be a disaster.

you definitely want to leave yourself some leeway time.

I had my hair done at 12:00 for a 5:30 (ish) ceremony.

My photogher came at 2:00 and I got dressed at 2:30 or so.

You'll be fine.

Those times sound perfect. Our photographer was supposed to come at 1:00 but ended up being a half hour early, but thank god I was already done. I started hair and makeup at 10:00 and I think I had about 20 minutes to relax in between. Our ceremony was at 3:30
