Those having a morning/afternoon ceremony

what does your timeline look like for the day of? what time are you doing hair and make up..what time are you leave home/hotel? are you doing pictures before hand if so how much time are you scheduling for this? is your picture location close to your dressing location.....

I know that was a mouth full but as the date draws near I want to make sure my time line is good and that I will have enough time.

Thank you in advance for your help?

photographer arrives to me by 8:30
walk over to Fox Hollow from the Inn at 9 and take pics until 11 am when we have the Ketubah signing and 11:30 ceremony

Re: Those having a morning/afternoon ceremony

wow you ladies are getting up early! My ceremony starts at noon and I was thinking about getting up around 7 or 8. I figured:

8 a.m. hair
9 a.m. makeup
10 a.m. go to RH/ Ceremony location and get dressed in bridal suite
Be totally ready by 11 and walk down the isle at 12.

I'm having hair and makeup come to my hotel and it's just me and my MOH that need it. Is that not enough time?

Re: Those having a morning/afternoon ceremony

SO far my schedule will be:

Wake up at 4:30

Makeup: arrives at 5

Hair: arrives at 5:30

Photg arrives at 8 (or maybe earlier)

Get to RH by 9 (the earliest time we are allowed on site w/o incurring a $200 fee)

9-10:30: pictures/breakfast

11:00 guests begin to arrive and I start freaking out if I haven't already LOL

Re: Those having a morning/afternoon ceremony

my ceremony starts at 12:30 but we are doing pics after-i really don't want to see FH before. Our photographer gets posed pics done within 15-30 minutes while the rest are candids. I do NOT want to miss my cocktail hour. I figure id be getting to the RH around 11/1130 so hair and makeup will be around 8/830.
