Ceremony at 4pm, what time do I schedule my hair/makeup????

It depends. are they coming to you? are they doing other girls in your WP? My ceremony was at 530, but my ready time was 430 so we had time for pictures. They arrived at noon to start. but that was for all 4 of my girls, plus me to have hair and makeup. My hair took the longest, bout an hour 15 minutes and my makeup was about 30 min.

My ceremony was at 4. We did pictures beforehand (at 2) so I had to be ready to leave at 1:45. I only had hair done, and I was the 3rd out of 4 girls, and so she did my hair starting at about 11:00 until about 12:45.

Your best bet is to ask your hair & makeup how long it will take them to do yours versus the bridesmaids/mothers/fg, and then plan according to that.

Well, are you doing first looks or no?

Are your bridesmaids getting ready with the same artist as well?

Are you getting ready at the ceremony location? If not, then how far?

I think it is just me and one other BM getting our hair done professionally. Everyone else is DIY.

Thanks for the total times Michelle. I just called my salon to book an appointment and when they said "what time" i drew a blank. I rattled off 10am. Now i think that is WAY TOO early. Ugh.

My hair will be done at the salon which is about 5 minutes from the venue. I will get my dress on at the venue.

Not sure on 1st looks yet or not.

sarah d-maybe i should have pushed it to 11am like you did. Hmmmm.

My ceremony is at 1, there is myself, sister and mom getting hair and makeup done about 20 minutes from my moms house so to allow for travel time and pictures the appointment is at 8 or 830

I have one hair person, and 2 makeup people coming to our venue. It will be me, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms getting things done.

The hair person is getting there at 8, since she's the only one. Makeup are coming closer to 9 or 10.

My ceremony starts at 4. Pictures at 2.

Our recemony also starts at 4pm, there are 5 of us getting make up done/4 of us getting hair done and we need to be ready by noon (photos before ceremony)... we are starting at 8am

Mine is at 4pm also, we have our appts at 9am. My stylist is also doing my sisters hair plus my makeup. We have to be ready for pics at 1pm. We are doing our first look and all family pics before.

Thank you for all of the help ladies! I completely forgot about needing extra time for taking photos before the ceremony.

Mine was at 4 pm also and we started hair and makeup at 8am because we were doing first look pictures. It really depends on how many girls you have getting it done and what time your pictures are starting.

I would ask your hair and makeup artist how much time they spent per person and when you do a trial, do time it. Mine said 45 mins per girl so I just guess maybe an 1 hour in timing

My wedding is also at 4pm, and my appointment is at 10am (that's when the salon opens). There are 6 of us getting ready, but each with a different stylist, so we should be out of there before noon. Fingers crossed

My ceremony is at 4:30 so the plan is 10. There will be 2 hair stylist & 1 makeup artist for myself, 6 BM, 2 JBM, 1 flower girl, my mom & grandma.

I was married last Saturday and my ceremony started at 4. We begin hair at 9AM at my hotel and makeup artist begin at noon. It worked out perfect! We were ready to leave for the venue at 2:30 and did final touch ups once we arrived.

Always allow enough time to account for unexpected issues such as traffic jams, problems with the hair styling, or makeup. You can always chill and relax if you are done early, but you can't add more time if you're running late.

This depends on a few things: Are you getting pictures before the ceremony? Are you doing a first look? Will the makeup artist be traveling to you?

After these questions are answered you should ask your makeup artist how long it takes for each application. As a makeup artist, I allot 1 hr for the bride and 30 minutes for the bridesmaids and then I add a 10-15 minute buffer to give myself a cushion.

I was married last September and I had my hairstylist and makeup artist travel to me. My ceremony began at 5pm and with about 8-9 ladies getting just their eyes done and hair, we started getting ready at 8am. I hope this helps!

My ceremony is at 3, I can't remember what time I scheduled my hair appointment at because it was so long ago. I'll have to call and ask. My sister and my other bm want to get their hair done at the salon too.

Hi Sarah, at what point (before or after hair & makeup) did you eat lunch?

Mine is gonna be at 4pm too. the photographer & my artist is coming at 9pm and should be done with me, my mom, MIL, and 3 bridesmaid at 1PM. we have pictures at 2PM and after we are having our first look.
