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!

8:00 AM Wake up
10:00 AM Hair Appointment

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

Thanks ladydudes!
