Re: Before the ceremony

One studio told me it takes 2 hrs for the bride to get her hair and makeup done. I read somewhere else that one person doing hair and makeup for three people (bride and two BMs) takes 5 hours!!!

Re: Before the ceremony

Well alot of people say it takes 2-2 1/2 hrs for hair and make up, then shower before that obviously, the dress can take a while and all the other little things so maybe 4 hours, which is what i heard alot of past brides say

well most brides i see have pics of themselves getting their hair and make up done, guess talk to your photographer, let him know you will be getting ready from so and so time and see what he will suggest.

Re: Before the ceremony

im having 5 bms but i think they are doing each other's hair and make up since theyre going to do something simple....but i guess it still takes a while regardless cuz of the amount of ppl.

it will fly...Figure if it itakes about 4 hours to get ready, plus are you taking pictures before hand or no? so that takes a few hours too...so yeah basically you wont just be sitting around all day, so thats good

I know! i was reading that all over the place...ure just like in the moment and just forget to eat. my moh and i decided we would pack little things for each of us and she's in charge of making sure we are all fed

FH and i made a rule that we're not allowed to drink (a lot) until AFTER the ceremony

i don't want to have to be standing at the altar and just think about how much i have to go to the bathroom

Re: Before the ceremony

i was originally gonna start getting ready at 11 for a 2pm ceremony (ours is 30 min away too)...but now we're thinking of changing the ceremony to 1 or 130 so i guess id get ready at 10ish.

but now that im hearing its more than 2 and a half hours i might make it a little earlier i dont know!

yeah i was thinking of getting sandwiches and wraps and stuff like that for when we all get ready.

Yeah i told FH that he can only have a max of 2 glasses before ceremony, i said one would be better lol...Its the only thing ive been strict about...plus he drinks scotch which is strong soit doesnt take much lol.
