Hi everyone! So I'm working a bit on my wedding timeline (isn't until the end of May, fingers crossed it actually happens!) and would love some advice on my idea so far. Here's what I currently have:
7:30 - wake up and go to place we’re getting ready (either hotel/family's house)
8:15 - 8:30 - everyone arrives & has breakfast
9:00 - hair and makeup starts
12:00 - have lunch
1:30 - hair and makeup done
1:45 - arrive at venue in casual clothes
1:45 - 2:00 - finalize any venue details
2:00 - 2:30 - bridesmaids + MOB + bride get dressed
2:45 - photos with girls
3:00 - first look w/hubby
3:00 - 4:00 - couple + groomsmen + bridal party + parents photos
4:30 - guests start to arrive and get seated
5:00 - ceremony starts
5:30 - ceremony ends and everyone goes inside to start cocktail hour
5:30 - 5:45 - guests find seats
5:30 - 6:00 - photos with family
6:00 - everyone seated and bridal party/groomsmen enter
6:00 - at entrance we do a little dancing (common for my FH's culture for weddings)
6:30 - dinner is served and toasts
7:30 - cut cake
7:30 - 10:30 - free dance until reception ends
Just a note: I'm worried about my dress/bridesmaid dresses getting wrinkled so that's the reason we won't get dressed before we head to the venue. The venue has a small space to get ready but it isn't large enough to have all of us fully getting ready in one space (me, MOB, 5 bridesmaids + hair & makeup would make it too cramped I'm afraid!). I'm my own wedding planner lol so I would love to hear some input from all of you! Thanks so much in advance!
