Time guidelines??

Does anyone know if there's a list of times or guidelines of what time vendors should come to your home before the ceremony ... I have some contracts infront of me that I need to send back but I cant because I dont know what time to tell them to come to my house!

thanks!

Re: Time guidelines??

it will all depend on so many things so theres not one guideline to really look at.

Depends where youre getting hair and make up done and how many ppl. How far you are from the church.

My DOC did an AMAZING timeline for me, and worked out amazingly, and thank god bc i had done it a bit different. I was gonna start at 11am to get ready but she did such a detailed one and worked out.

My ceremony was at 2:30pm. She had hair and make up show up at my house at 10am. It was me, my mom and MOH who got hair and make up done at my house. She even put what time we all start everything. Such as I start hair at 10am, while MOH gets her make up done, then MOH got hair done after while mom did her make up...then my Mom got hair while i did make up. Photographer showed up at 11:45am. Already had personal flowers delivered by then. I was able to sit around and relax for a bit. Limo showed up at 2pm at my house and i started getting dressed at about 1:30pm maybe just a few mins before. At 2pm we left, were at the church a few mins before 2:30. Then after we did receiving line which was 5-10mins. A few pics outside of church. DOC put down pics from 4-6:15pm. We were done around 6pm and headed to RH. CH was at 7:30pm but we got there earlier, took just a few pics there and then went to bridal suite and hang out for a bit before it all started.

Thats just to give you an idea...i started hair at 10am so 4 1/2 hrs before
