    4-5 hours. We have booked the Venue for 4 hours, but I'm considering adding an extra hour because my timeline feels cramped!

    Lauren, we are doing the same! We aren’t sure if hotel bar will work, or if we were to find an after party spot. My fiancé would want to change out of our wedding attire if we went to an after party spot, and I absolutely don’t imagine that I would want to change out of my dress. What are your plans for afterward in terms of attire?

    Six hours with a 3 o'clock invitation start time until 9 o'clock. We get photography for 10 hours and my brides-people and I will be getting ready at the butt-crack of dawn. I've got myself, eight women and my mother all getting hair and makeup, plus a flower girl getting her hair done. One bridesmaid is doing hers herself and my bridesman is joining us later. Does 7 am count as a wedding start time?

    LIke.. 11 hours! Haha. Ceremony starts at 3:30 in the afternoon (well, that's when we're asking guests to arrive), and the reception doesn't end until 2:00 am (my fiancé's request). We're getting married in Sweden (I moved here last year to be with my fiancé who is Swedish) and Swedish people party hard. So I have a feeling all of my friends and family will be leaving earlier than my fiancé's side, haha.
