Girls who are doing photos before the ceremony........

Original post by billandme

Can you share your timelines? My FH and I have decided that we're going to see each other before the ceremony, so we are trying to figure this out.

I'm not used to the time restraints........back home (Canada) we have 3-4 hours between ceremony and reception for photos but here, there is only 1 hour. So we just don't have the time......we didn't want to see each other before but we just don't have the option anymore.....

Thanks girls!

Im in the same situation but we're gonna make it work bc we REALLY dont want to see eachother before the wedding. I talked to my photog and she assured me we can make it work w/in the time constraints of the cocktail hour, even to enjoy some of it! We are going to get as many as we can prior of me getting ready, her assoc is going to go get the boys, pics w/ me and the girls, pics of the guys, etc. I gotta make it work. Id feel so sad not having that moment of walking down the aisle towards him having him see me for the first time in my dress! Thats just me!

We're seeing each other before the ceremony also. Here is what we're doing:

I wake up around 8am and my hair and makeup girls meet me at my house and start getting me ready.

My BM's arrive around 11:30 and we take some pics with the photog/videog

My FI and his boys pick us up in the limo around 1pm and we all get in the car. The photog/videog will capture my FI seeing me for the first time etc....

We take 4.5 hours driving around and taking pics (we're doing the city and LI)

I arrive at Flowerfield at about 4:30-5pm and our parents meet us there. we all take pics together at FF

The guests show up at 6:30 and coctail hour starts (I hide for one hour )

The outdoor (PRAY for great weather) ceremony starts at 8pm and that's when I make my GRAND enterance for everyone to see!!!

We party till the end of the night


EV, how many BM's do you have?



I've got 3 and they're all doing getting their hair and makeup done before they come to my house.
