Im getting married at 11am and I have 5 BH and my mother along with 2 flower girls and myself to get ready.. The woman doing my makeup and hair is wonderful but she wants to start at 5am in the morning.. Now here is the crazy thing.. Not only does she want to start at 5am.. No one is going o come for their hair and makeup..
Now I would think its pretty late to look for someone else to do the hair and makeup.. (Wedding is two months away)
But also, if I have the flower girls there that early they will all conk out in the limo ride to the church.. No less all the mothers are in my wedding party and theres no where for them to sleep when they get to my house.. Sort of crash until its their time to get ready..
Anyone have any suggestion? We thought about getting another girl but Im worried about everyone NOT looking the same.. Plus my hair and makeup lady insisted EVERYONE be there at 5am to start getting ready.. Shes doing makeup and her husband is doing the hair..
Crazy?

Re: Big time makeup and Hair problem..
I think that 5 or 6 is about standard for a morning wedding. It is super early, but think about how long it will take to everyone's hair and makeup, get dressed, take pics with the BP and you have to be at the wedding site by 11:00!

My wedding begins at 2:30 p.m. and I have hair/mu scheduled for 8:30 a.m. - so I guess its normal but that is early.

Re: Big time makeup and Hair problem..
sheesh, thank goodness our ceremony is at 4. i will not have someone come that early. its insane. i wouldnt be able to make it thru the day with energy. not to mentioned id look herendous by 4pm.
id look into other options if possible, but you may find more of the same since your ceremony is so early!
GL!

Re: Big time makeup and Hair problem..
Yeah, 5-6am sounds about right for a 11am ceremony. If you are overly concerned about people not wanting to get up early then you can either hire another person to do hair or they can do their hair themselves.
My sister had a 11 am ceremony and hair/makeup started at 5:45 the girls alternated between the 2. She had 7 bridesmaids plus herself and my mom all get hair and makeup done and we were all ready by the time the photographer came.
Good Luck!

Yeah for that early of a ceremony, that's what it takes to get it done in time. Maybe the FG's can come at 7am. Little kids get up early anyway. (i have one I know) And unless they are daily nappers they should be fine. Good Luck, hope it all works out for you!

Re: Big time makeup and Hair problem..
I just got married in February and my Mass started at 10:45 AM. Honestly, we needed to start that early. We began around 5:45 AM and literally everyone got done, but by the time we got home, got dressed and took pictures with the photographer, it was time to go.
Everyone was tired at the end of the day... but that wasnt' until after the reception. my flower girl lasted all day... (FYI: I scheduled her LAST. Her appointment was at 8:30)
Trust me, you will NEED the time. It was the perfect time to start and not be rushed....
I havea GREAT salon in RVC to recommend if you need someone.... they even provided coffee and bagels for us that early!

Re: Big time makeup and Hair problem..
unfortunatly that does sound about right, my ceremony starts at 12 and we start at 6:30 am.. its rough.. but thats the price we pay to look beautiful
