This may be a hard question to answer but I would greatly appreciate some insights on how to schedule a timeline for the day off the wedding.
Evening brides...would you mind sharing your preparation timeline?
When did you get up When was hair and make up done When did you get dressed When did photographer come When did photographer go to groom When did you leave for the church How long were you at the church (with receiving line and pictures)
Thank you :)

Day of wedding timeline
I'm not having an evening wedding, but a later afternoon. I'll give you my timeline just so you have an idea. I'm getting ready and married at the venue.
Waking up (if I sleep) 8:00-8:30 Hair and makeup (at venue) 9am ( I have 2 for hair and 4 for makeup) Getting ready photos (just bride) 11am Bridal party/family photos 12pm - 2pm Ketubah signing: 2:15 Last minute pictures/breathing (lol) 2:40 Ceremony: 3pm After the ceremony we are doing extended family pictures at the beginning of cocktail hour.

Day of wedding timeline
I am getting married at 8pm but have a hospitality half hour beforehand. I just booked my photographer and she said that she would want to do my pictures from 4-615 and FH pics from 615-715. We aren't seeing each other before the ceremony so all of the big pics will be done during cocktail hour. I figured with that timeline I would probably want to be where I am getting ready by 12 but I have 6 people to get their hair and my makeup done. Also, I figured it is more time to celebrate with my girls and minimal rushing.

I should've clarified...my ceremony is at 4 And my cocktail hour starts at 7.
Thanks for your insight ladies!
Anyone else have timelines to share?

Re: Day of wedding timeline
My ceremony is at 3pm. If I have to leave for the first look pics (we're doing them prior to the ceremony) by 12:30pm, he wants me ready in my dress by 11:45am. He'll be at my parents' house (or wherever I'm getting ready) by 10:30am.
I think we're starting hair/makeup at 7am...but I've still yet to trial hair and makeup and speak with them specifically regarding the timeline. I'll have 5 girls for hair/makeup, including myself.

This! My ceremony is 5:30 and I think we are going to be doing the exact same timeline (everything is just an hour ahead). My photographer is booked starting at 2:30 and reveal is at 3:15-3:30.
YES he asked me
