Timeline Guide

Does anyone know where to begin? Like what time to to your hair and Make up? Does anyone know a website that has a layout? Like a time sheet? Thanks!

Re: Timeline Guide

You are my date AND time twin!!! I based my times by what my photographer needed and then told the hair and makeup people when we needed to be ready by- here's my time line to give you an idea:

5am- start hair and makeup for me, mom, 2 MOH and 2 BM staying at hotel with me
6:30-7- 4 other BM start to get ready
8:00- start pics
9:30 limos arrive
9:45-10- leave for church
10:30-11-11:15 ceremony
11:15-11:30 or so, some pics at church
12:15-12:45 or so- pics at hall

12:30-1:30 cocktail hour

1:30-5:30 reception

FH and I are seeing each other before the ceremony-I'm going to think of a cute way to be presented to him...and it's going to be as close to a half hour long ceremony as possible!! We hope to make most of the CH and the photographer says that we should. I'm paying for the girls makeup and arranging for them to pay hair people I bring in due to the early hour to make sure they are all together getting ready. We are starting with pics at the hotel....seems to be a tight schedule but do-able!!

Good luck! Let me know if you have other questions! (or if I'm not being clear)

Thank you So much!


You're welcome! It took me a little while to work out- couldn't order my invites until a week ago b/c of timeline issues! Morning weddings are fun!! At least we'll be able to have a fun after party!

I just saw a sample video where the groom was blind folded and the bride was standing in front of him when they removed the blind fold. It was great and he was so shocked by how beautiful she looked. I was bawling

Yeah, I saw a video like that also- that's the best idea so far...I will probably go with that one too!
