Hair and Makeup Start Time

Meghan, on November 14, 2019 at 3:06 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 5

Hey y'all! My ceremony is starting at 4:30. I'm working with a hair and makeup girl right now, trying to pin down timeline. So as I said, ceremony is at 4:30, and we won't be doing a first look, but the photographer will be there to capture getting ready photos and some bridal party photos before the ceremony. It'll be (including me) 8 adults for makeup, 7 adults for hair, and two flower girls who are just getting a few curls in their hair. What time should we start? The artist suggested 7 am but that sounds crazy to me. I'm thinking I should get a second artist because I was envisioning more like maybe 10 am or even later

    We had 14 people getting hair and makeup done (some of those only got one service). We had to start at 7am so I could be done and getting in my dress at 1:30 for first look and bridal party photos, ceremony was at 4. We had 3 people there working on everyone. If there’s only 1 artist that sounds right on timing.

    My ceremony was 5:30 and we started around 9:00am for myself and 8 bridesmaids. Granted, we did a first look and had to be ready by 3:00pm. We also had one person doing hair and one doing makeup, which kept things moving along very nicely.

    So I would say maybe start around 10:30am to have enough time for everyone, but if only one person is doing all of it, I would say maybe 9:30-10:00am

    My ceremony was at 5, first look with dad started at 230 followed by bridal party photots (no first look). I had 4 for makeup and 5 for hair. Hair started at 8 and makeup at 8:30. We had probably 45 minutes or so to kill between finishing that and the first look but it was so nice to not be rushing at the end. For that many people, & almost sounds a little tight to me.
