We had to push our wedding date back to Sunday, August 23rd. I’m struggling with choosing a start time. I love the idea of a 2 pm wedding but we want it to be semi formal. I don’t know if that would work. I’d love to hear your thoughts & know what you’re doing.

    Hey girl! Our wedding was originally set for May 23rd. So we pushed it back 3 months. I really wanted to get married outside but I’m in Texas & the August sun is brutal. I’m thinking of having mine around 4 or 5. Stay safe!!

    Nice! Yeah it might be easier for guests to take Monday off. Plus it may cut back on travel expenses.

    Most of the family lives in NY and the wedding is in NJ so its a two hour drive home for most. Plus we will get to see all on Saturday before the wedding because they will come down earlier

    That’s our tentative date for the wedding if we have to postpone from our June date.

    I’m getting married on a Sunday. We’re starting at 3pm, ending at 9. Our family is traveling so we wanted to have a reasonable time for them to travel

    I’m a Sunday bride as well. We are staying later as most of our guests will attend church. We are actually going to church first as well. So we have a 6pm start.

    I’m in the mid New York area (by Poughkeepsie so an hour from Albany and 1.5 from NYC). Our full timeline is 9 am for HMU, out by 12:30 (we have 8 people getting hair done and 5 getting makeup done), head to the venue, get in at 1 for light lunch, photographer will be doing the groomsmen photos while we’re eating and getting dressed, 1:45 photographer takes brideside photos, 2:15 first look (I’m doing it with my dad, not fh), 2:30-3 ceremony, 3-4 cocktail hour/ photoshoot of bridal party & family together, 4 introduction of Mr and Mrs, 4:05-4:15 all the first dances, 4:30 toasts, 5:00 intermezzo and then dancing 6 pm dinner then dancing 7 pm cake cutting and dancing, 8 we head out with a bang (sparkler send off)
