Timeline

Mine isn’t until January 11th but this is how I have a rough timeline. My sister has a 10am Sunday and we started hair and makeup at 6am.

Thanks! So far I have a pretty similar lay out. We have the space until 6:30. Luckily it is a hotel with an event space and we are staying there so no travel is involved.

View Quoted Comment Awesome, ours is in a restaurant so we got a hotel for all the girls to get ready in. But it’s only down the street so just walking for us. *fingers crossed for nice weather*

Definitely fingers crossed! January is tricky haha

I'd talk to your hair and makeup artist about how long they need! I'd say 1 hour per service then another 30 minutes for your veil and dress.

Ours was:

9:00: Arrive at synagogue. Dude of honor sent to get challah for blessing after the ceremony. Get flowers from delivery guy.

10:00: Photographer and hair and make-up person arrive. After photos of unboxing flowers, HMU person begins NotFroofy's services and photographer takes getting ready photos, while I start decorating the synagogue. NotFroofy gets dressed as soon as the HMU person finishes.

11:00: HMU person begins my services, while NotFroofy finishes decorating.

12:00: Guests arrive.

12:00 to 12:30 Ceremony begins.

1:00: Photos.

2:00: Reception begins.

5:00: Reception ends.

We have an 11:00 AM ceremony start time. Below is our draft timeline...
