Itinerary for Morning Wedding

Erica, on May 23, 2017 at 11:40 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

We are planning on having a morning wedding with a brunch reception next year. We have the venue from 8am-5pm and our ceremony will start at 11:15am. I'm still trying to figure out logistics for getting ready and pictures!

Everyone involved lives just about 15 minutes away from the venue, which has a dressing room, and I only have my mom and two bridesmaids' hair and makeup to worry about besides myself.

Any suggestions are appreciated Smiley smile

    To be honest, if your ceremony starts at 11:15, it sounds like you're having a lunch reception?

    This is from apracticalwedding.com (add 1 hour)

    7:00am—Hair and makeup starts

    8:30am—Vendors arrive/Setup starts

    9:00am—First look and couple’s portraits

    9:30am—Family pictures

    9:30am—Guests begin to arrive

    10:00am—Invite time

    10:15 am—Ceremony starts

    10:45am—Ceremony concludes

    10:45am—Cocktail “hour” starts/Additional family photos

    11:30am—Brunch starts

    12:15pm—Toasts

    1:00pm—First dance

    1:30pm—Cake cutting/Dessert

    2:45pm—Couple departs

    3:00pm—Guests depart

    3:00pm—Breakdown commences

    4:00pm—All vendors out

    Although, I'd think cocktail hour was a little weird in the middle of the day and you can definitely skip it if you're taking photos ahead of time.

    That's a really good one! Our "cocktail hour" is just coffee and mimosas while tables are arranged since our ceremony and reception are in the same place. And yes it'll be basically breakfast/brunch food for lunch haha.

    I'm going to be having an 11 am ceremony with brunch food for lunch too! I'm not going to do a first look, so my timeline won't look exactly like yours, but other than that we're kind of twins! (Just a week apart)

    Thanks for your comments!

    I am actually considering pushing the ceremony time up to 10:45 because that timeline is so great.

    @A.Magill.in.May - Best of luck on your wedding as well!!
