My ceremony was at 6pm but my hair was being done at 11:30 or so (took about an hour) and makeup took about 45 minutes and that was done at 1:00.
I think you're cutting it close--counting on actually finishing in an hour and a half and arriving at the venue at 3:00.
You just can't go crazy with your hair and face for 3 hours.
I agree that it seems way too early to have your hair and makeup done. You want to cushion the time a bit for any delays or whatever, but that seems excessive.
My hair and makeup person are coming to my hotel, and they plan on finishing with me right before I go get my pictures before the ceremony. I wouldn't want to be waiting an extra three hours with my hair and makeup for no good reason.
Our ceremony is at 1 pm and I'm getting hair and makeup done at 8:30 am (egads, that's early).
We hope to have a bit of time in between to get some pics of us, and then it will be go time!
My ceremony was at 6. I had my makeup done at 8 (only time she could come) and my hair done at 1. We got the location and started taking pictues at 4.
No, I mean early...early in the sense that if she finishes with hair and makeup at 2:30 and she doesn't start with anything until 6pm. It seems a little overkill to just sit around for over 3 hours so that your hair and makeup won't be as fresh for when everything starts.
My hair/makeup girl will start on me at 11 am, for a 6 pm ceremony. We plan to take pre-ceremony pics though, and I really don't wanna feel rushed.
Ooooh i see. You said something about cushion time; i got confused.
I figured that if she was getting to the venue at 3pm, she was probably going to be doing some pictures beforehand to eat up time before 6pm. But i really only made that assumption because we did separate and famiy photos from 4:30-5:30, got married, then did photos that included both him and I together since we didn't want to see each other before the weddding
ejs4y8 and ddubzz, that's about the same timing that I'm going to have. My ceremony is at 5, and my hair and makeup will start at 10:30. It will probably go like this:
10:30am-12:30pm: Me, mom and sister get hair and makeup done
1:00pm: Arrive at ceremony/reception location
1:00pm-2:00pm: Get dressed and eat something
2:00pm-4:00pm:Pictures
4:00pm-5:00pm: Hang out away from the main area so no one sees me. :)
(No idea why I can't remove the italics in this post BTW)
Yeah, I didn't really think of the possibility that she would be doing pictures before 6pm. I just assumed she wasn't starting with anything until 6, and if it were me, I wouldn't want my hair and makeup done that early beforehand.
1 PM seems ok to get your hair done. It will allow time for pics and any unplanned snafus. For make up, that seems a bit early to me. I'd want my make up to be fresh for the ceremony.
My ceremony started at 5 PM. I needed to be out of the salon and back to my hotel by 2, so the salon suggested that I be there at 11. That seemed super early to me, but it really wasn't. Here's what my day-of schedule looked like:
11-2: Hair & makeup (I was done by 1)
2-3: Lunch with bridesmaids at the hotel
3-4: Photographers arrive for some getting-ready shots, first look, etc.
4: Leave for wedding venue, ~15 minute drive (we had pre-ceremony drinks and hors d'oeuvres for our guests beginning at 4:30, and I wanted us to be hidden by the time people started to arrive).
5: Ceremony began
I was also concerned about the time, my makeup doesnt last very long on me, and I dont want to peak too early lol
This is an update: I am not getting any pictures taken before the ceremony. So, I don't need to allow for any picture time.

My wedding is not until 6 pm, but the lady wanted me to be there to get my hair and make-up done at 1:00 pm. There is one other girl getting her hair done with me. The salon is about half an hour away from the venue.
She says that both the hair and make-up should take about 45 minutes each. The other girl will get her hair done when I am getting my make-up done, and vice-versa. That means we should be out of there by 2:30, to the venue by 3, with three hours to wait and not touch my hair.
Doesn't that seem a little overkill? I am afraid that I will mess up my hair and rub my face (as I do all the time in my non-wedding life) in the three hour waiting period.
How early is your hair/make-up appointment?
