In regard to the 'What time to get to RH'.. what do you think?

If my ceremony and reception are at the same place, my ceremony starts at 1pm... you girls think to get the place at 10AM to start getting ready and take pics all before the ceremony, right? :)

The hair/make-up artists are coming to the place.

thank you!

If the ceremony starts at 1, you want to be ready at 12:30 because that is when you should tell guests to arrive. Assume 90 minutes minimum for your photos - that's 11 am.

hair and makeup for you and everyone else could take several hours. I would assume 90 minutes for you alone.

1 - will your RH let you get there that early?

2 - ask your hair and makeup people how much time they will need.

3 - ask your photog how much time he wants to take photos.

I'm pretty sure I will be able to get there as early as I want. It's the first and only event of that day.

If you haven't done this before, I would first ask what time you can be at your RH without incurring an extra charge. I wanted my hair/makeup artists to come to the RH and also get ready there but they only let you come over 2 hours before your ceremony. It wasn't enough time to get everything done and have pics taken too...it also depends on how many are in your BP...

My timeline was:

4 AM: wake up at hotel (well I didn't sleep at all so technically not true lol)
5 AM: Hair and makeup artists come to hotel room. I had me, 2 MOH, 1 BM, 1 MIL all getting hair and makeup
7:30: Photographer comes to hotel room for getting ready photos, photos w/BMs
8:30 Limo takes me and my girls to RH
9: Arrive at RH
9:15 Pics before ceremony
11:30: Ceremony
