Thank you!!

I’m at 4:30 on a Saturday and ours is:
9:00am start getting ready
11:00am lunch delivered 2:00pm first round of pictures (includes first looks, family pics)4:30pm ceremony begins 5-6:00pm cocktail hour (while we finish some pictures)6:00pm entrance/dinner is served From there I timed out our events; cake cutting, speeches, first dances, and the shoe game!

We're a 5pm ceremony on a Saturday with 23 people in our wedding party (yikes lol). I was told the best thing you can do is add in 15 min windows in between different timings for wiggle room. Here's what ours looks like so far:

7am girls start hair/makeup/breakfast at my parents house (7 bridesmaids, myself, 2 moms, 3 flower girls so that's why the early start) Flower girls won't arrive till later on in the morning. We have 2 girls doing hair and another 2 for makeup.

11am finish up hair/makeup, collect all personal items and be ready to hop into limo

11:30 limo arrives, girls head to venue

12pm arrive at venue, get settled into bridal suite and change into dresses. Then the limo goes back for the guys to pick them up.

1pm guys arrive and get dressed

1:45pm first look with my dad

2pm first look with FH, then wedding party pictures till 4:30 (at the latest)

5pm start time for ceremony

5:30-7pm cocktail hour

7-11 reception

11 - 1am after party at hotel

I will say my husband's timeline was a little different because he did golf the morning of our wedding with his groomsmen and some close friends. He left the golf course at 12pm (his tee-time was 8:05am or something like that, lol), went back to his hotel, showered and then his groomsmen met him there around 1pm after they all went home and showered. Then they got dressed together and left for the venue at 2:30pm - his hotel was closer to the venue than mine so he left later and this also ensured that he would not see me before the wedding.

Here's the rough draft of our timeline for 4:00 on a Saturday.

7:00 AMish- hair and makeup starts (up to 11 of us getting ready)

12:00 PM- quick lunch

12:30- rehearsal/ bride dresses

12:45- groom getting dressed/ final getting ready pics

1:00- first look/ start formals

3:30- finish formals/ relax

4:00- ceremony

4:30- end ceremony/ receiving line/ marriage lisence

4:45- just married and wedding party fun pics

5:45- grand entrance

6:00- cake/ dances

6:15- dinner/ toasts/ scavenger hunt

7:00- dancing

10:30- end of the night

Thank you everyone!!!
