I would say get up and started at about 4-5 am depending on how many of you need to get ready... that will give you maybe an hour or so to calm your nerves before the ceremony...
Hmm, I am not planning on getting up at 4 or even 5 in the morning, crebre, and we are getting married at 10:30am! We are having it at our house so that helps that we are already there!
This is how I see it:
(Showers for me and my bridesmaids the night before so we won't be rushed in the AM)
6am- Wake up, have a small breakfast and some chit-chat with all the ladies
6:30- Hair people arrive and do our hair / DIY makeup
8:30- Get dressed
9- Photos (not a lot of formal photos, but some with me and my mom, me & my BMS)
9:30ish- Head inside and try to not freak out!
10:30- Get married!
So yeah, if you are having your ceremony at 11 or 11:30, I think getting up at 6am would be plenty early even if you have to travel from your hotel to your ceremony location. And I would say shower the night before if you can, to buy yourself time in the morning! Though some people have to shower in the morning to feel clean or feel awake, I'd rather sleep an extra hour!
@danielle: hmmm what all are you doing for your hair? i err on the side of caution... for me it takes me at least two to four hairs to get my hair done :( but i'm fierce when i leave... and then fooling with the girls etc and someone is ALWAYS running late.... even if i think i can get ready earlier i definitely tell them an hour before i expect... is your fi's family from tn as well? us tennesseans are a different (read high maintenance breed) lol....
Haha - well, I haven't had my trial yet, so I will have to ask my stylist, but I'm not anticipating a super complicated style. I want to do a pretty simple, soft chignon, so I'm thinking it will take about an hour at the most. My stylist is bringing another stylist with her, and there will be three other girls getting their hair done, so I figured if I allot one hour per head, and two girls can get their hair done at a time, two hours should be enough. While the other girls are getting their hair done, the girls that have their hair already done can do their makeup, and I think an hour is enough. Maybe I am underestimating it but two hours for hair and makeup actually seems a bit much to me! I'm not very high maintainence but I swear I'm from the South :)
LMAO!!! I sooo remember getting ready for things while I was at Vandy, it took us at least three hours to get started!! I still think you should pad the timeline a bit more, what's an hour or so? But in the end I think the nerves and anticipation will have you awake and excited... .
Haha, well that's because you were probably drinking and talking and drinking... :) I will probably end up getting up at like 4am because of nerves haha, but I think I won't ask the hair stylists to get there until 6am at the earliest, and the photographer at 9am.
Our ceremony is scheduled for noon & I'm thinking about getting ready around 7am-8am. Ick 4 or 5 am... if I got up that early I'd be one crabby bride!
I think if you start getting ready around 6am you'll be pretty & ready to go for a 10:30 ceremony! :)
I am getting married at 11:00 a.m. My hair/make-up person is arriving at our hotel at 6:30. For hair I'm doing hot rollers and then pulling it back. This means that when my rollers are in, one of the other girls (or both) will get their hair going. I'll do my own make-up but the other girls and my mom are getting theirs done by our hair girl. I want to be at the church around 9:00 to give things a once over and do my pics with the girls. I figure that even if the hair person arrives at 6:30, it'll be almost 7 before things are truly underway.
Definitely shower the night before. Not only will it save you time, but it will give your hair time to completely dry and build up a little oil...both of which is a hugely good thing!
Our ceremony is at 11, and we planned to be at the salon at 7am. They are opening early for us, especially since there will be me, six bridesmaids, and two mothers all coming in at once. They plan to have four stylists there for us, and I want to be done by 9:30 to have time to travel to the church and take some pictures before the ceremony.
Wow hadn't really thought abt the logistics of the hair and all. But it never takes me more than an hour to get ready even for a formal event. But I am thinking of asking all of my bridesmaids to be at the house by 9am with their hair already done. Wedding at 11am
our ceremony is at 11am. I'm getting up at 7am, showering, hairdresser doing my hair, then makeup artist doing my makeup..be ready by 10am! its only myself and my MOH getting ready so we should be fast! My hairdresser is staying at the hotel I am the night before so she can be with me first thing in the morning!

We're thinking of having a brunch reception. If we have the ceremony at 11 or 11:30, what time do i need to start getting ready?
How much time are you gals giving yourself to get your hair/makeup/etc done?
