Help me with my day of timeline

My ceremony starts at 6:30pm.

I want to get all of my photos taken before the wedding starts. I also have a few different locations where I want to take photos. Everything is pretty close together.

What time should I be ready by? What time should my stylist come to do my hair/makeup?

Say it will take about 3 hours to take pics and then maybe a half hour to get to the first pic location and another half hour to get from the last pic location to the ceremony location. That's 4 hours total. So you have to leave your house by 2:30pm, be ready by 2pm (always give that cushion).

So makeup and hair should be finished by 1pm. Ask them how long they will need for your hair & makeup and work back from there.

HTH!

I'd talk to your photographer about it... thats what we did. She (our original photographer) told us how long she wants/needs for pics before the ceremony... then we figured out the timeline from there... like our ceremony starts at 3, she wanted to be done with pics by 2:30, and wanted about 1.5-2hrs... so I had to be ready between 11:30 and noon. Then when I booked make-up I told her when I need to be done by, and she figured she needs about 2 hrs, so she's coming at 9.

our photographer helped with this as well. my ceremony is at 7, she said to start make up around 12 or 1 and they would come at 3 to take pictures.

That looks great! I also emailed my photographer to see what he thought.
