Timeline for wedding that starts at 2

Anyone have a general timeline for a wedding that starts at 2?

Im hoping to be able to decorate the night before, if possible
Getting ready will be me and a few girls my friends are doing my make up and hair...when should we start that?

We arent planning to take first look pics
Should i get some pics with the girls before?

I figured
Ceremony starts at 2
Ends by 230 or 245
Pictures after
No cocktail hour guests can just start eating right away
First dances around 330 to 350
Then garter toss and boquet toss
Last is cutting cake

What does your timeline look like?

    I am getting my makeup done at 10:00am and hair about 12 ( we are not doing a first look) Ceremony starts at 4:30, pictures 5-6ish while guest are doing the cocktail hour, reception starts at 615-630 and ends at 11pm. We are doing dinner then first dances and ending the night with a sparkler exit. That’s the general idea.... I’m still working it out for our coordinator!

    Is it common where you live to not have cocktail hour and to eat without the bride and groom? That never happens where I live.

    Ours is a bit different then normal. His music m and grandma have health problems. So we do. Or want them to feel like they have to stay to see any part of wedding. So we will have ceremony. Our guest can go in venue while we do pictures. Then we will have dinner then cake cutting. Dances and the rest so crazy tough time line
    Ceremony 5-530
    pics 530-600 maybe 615
    get announced 615
    630 eat
    715 cake cute
    when that we s done first dances.
