    Any of you sweet ladies have an awesome timeline for a ceremony around the 4pm hour?

    I'm trying to plan our event now and need to see what others have done.

    Thanks ladydudes!

    I can try to help, but I'm sure my circumstances are a bit different.

    We had a 5 p.m. wedding and couldn't decorate at our reception hall until the day of, so you can adjust for that :)

    8:00-9:00 - Bride hair
    9:00-11:30 - Decorate reception hall
                       Bridesmaids get hair done during this time
    11:30-1:00 - Ladies get ready at church
    1:00-1:30 - Men arrive at church already dressed
    1:30-2:30 - Pictures of bride/groom
    2:30-3:45 - Pictures with bridal party
    3:45-4:30 - Pictures with family (moved outside for a portion of them when guests began arriving)
    4:30-5:00 - Relax!!
    5:00 - Ceremony

    We already had the food for lunch at the church, so ladies could munch while we got ready.  As you can see, the bridal party also didn't have to be ready to go until 2:30, which was a good thing, because some of them took a lot longer to get ready than I thought!  I hope this helps a little bit for you!

    ours is also at 5pm, but you could adjust as needed.

     

    10am - hair

    12noon - makeup

    1pm - meet with photographer for getting ready pics at FILs house

    2:30pm - head to venue for pre-ceremony pics of bride/groom, wedding party and immediate family

    4:15pm - relax and have a drink

    4:30pm - head to pre-ceremony holding space (to avoid being seen by guests)

    5pm - ceremony

    While we are doing the above, our fabulous coordinator will be making sure everything comes together.  Woo hoo!
