One bridesmaid not doing hair and makeup

Ok, so I'm doing a very DIY backyard wedding. I have arranged for someone to come do hair and makeup at the location, but I have one bridesmaid who wants to go get her hair and makeup done on her own somewhere else. I'm not requiring them to do hair and makeup, so I'm not mad or anything, it just worked out the everyone wanted at least one service done with me. So what time do I tell her to be at the ceremony location? I don't want her to be bored and left out, but I'd like her there to interact/help some. My ceremony starts at 4pm.

What time do you expect the other bridesmaids to be ready? If you plan to have everyone done by 2, ask her to be there by 2.

When will everyone else be ready by? I would give her that time, that way she's not waiting around for anyone and no one is waiting around for her.

Tell her when everyone else will be ready.

I agree with pps, advise her to be ready when everyone else is.

Just have her come when you expect everyone else to be ready. I understand you want her to spend time with her but I also understand where she is coming from. I have been in multiple weddings. If I have never seen the hairdresser's work, I won't let them touch my hair unless it's a destination wedding and I don't have a choice. I've worked hard to keep my hair healthy and I don't want anyone ruining it.

I would say be here by the time that everyone else is ready, but I would also give a timeline. I had a bridesmaid do something similar, and she got her stuff done early so she could still come hang out

I was in this same situation. The Photographer was coming at 3:15pm and we all needed to be in our floral robes at that point. I told my bridesmaid that wasn't have hair/make-up done to be to the hotel by 2pm so that she could relax with us a bit and have a snack before all of the chaos started.

When my best friend got married I could NOT afford the hmua she hired, so I got it done myself early and joined everyone at the hotel to hang while they were getting ready. I took the role of taking care of her moms nerves and helping everyone else since I was ready before them. It was super appreciated by my friend and her mom
