Saturday wedding timeline

Do you know what time you want to have the ceremony? Are you doing a first look? Does the stylist really need to know the time now or are they just curious? We just set the timeline last week for our wedding on April 13th and that depended on how many of the bridal party we’re getting their hair and makeup done. We knew we wanted to do the first look so our stylists built that into their timeline as well as our ceremony start time of 5pm.

Did you sign a contract with your venue yet? You would have likely discussed a rough outline of timing of ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. I am getting married in June and I haven't set up a time with the HMUA yet. So I am sure a round about time would be good enough for them.

View Quoted Comment We sign our contract and booked our venue but we have yet sat down n started planning since our wedding isnt till 9.19.2020. I know in our contract we get the keys to our venue in the morning. I'm going to pull out our paperwork n see again i know we have a sit down to start planning our bar menu n stuff like that but they haven't replied back to my email which I'm going to contact her today tho.

View Quoted Comment On the contract for the hair stylist n make-up artist asks the time of wedding thats why I asked.

View Quoted Comment Yes, I get that, but you could also ask them if they really need the set time right now or if they’re looking for a general timeline and you can confirm the actual timeline later on. I was also suggesting things to consider if you haven’t thought about your timeline yet that would factor into your hair and makeup timeline

Are you doing the set up on the day of? Also, how early of a riser are you and how long did your hair and makeup people estimate it would take them? You definitely don't want to feel rushed on your day. And, do you want to have sunlight during the ceremony and wedding party photos? Are you doing a sit down dinner or just heavy hors d'oeurves? All of that can help you figure out your timeline.

Our Saturday wedding starts at 5. Bridesmaids are getting ready in the bridal suite from 10 AM - 3 PM, getting ready pictures from 3-5, ceremony 5-5:30, cocktail hour 5:30-6:30, and reception 6:30-11:00!

View Quoted Comment Our rental of the venue is from 8am until midnight and we are doing our own set up for our wedding meaning decorations n everything unless i hire an wedding planner.

View Quoted Comment I’m getting married the same day and wondering a time line as all these vendors want to know and I get it but stressing me out🤣

View Quoted Comment I was going to do 5:30 but I gotta be at venue at 8am that's going to be a long day.
