    My venue has a bridal suite but since I (not-so-brilliantly) decided to have a brunch reception with an 11:30 am ceremony, we can't get into the bridal suite as early as we need to get started with hair and makeup. So, I'll be staying at a hotel 8 minutes away the night before, and we'll get ready there. Then the bridesmaids and I will be doing photos at the hotel too before we head over to the venue. I just hope I can get out of the car and into the bridal suite without anyone seeing me, since I will be fully dressed when I arrive.

    We are getting ready at the hotel (where our reception will be), which is about 30 mins from our ceremony location. Haven't totally decided on a location for pictures yet, but likely somewhere near the ceremony location. Then we end up back at the hotel for the reception.

    At home. Our ceremony/reception venue is a 3 minute drive from our house and we're doing photos before everything (locally around town) so we can just jump into the party without interruption. Smiley smile

    I got ready at a hotel suite 5 miles away until we were allowed in our bridal suite 2 hours before start time.

    Our venue has a bridal suite snd grooms suite. I'll be there all day he'll come about 3 hours before start time. It's a couple steps to the ceremony and reception. I'm usually late and a stress case so this is super convenient for me!

    I'm staying (no groom) at a hotel the night before the wedding, so most likely the hotel. My venue does have a bridal suite but I'm not sure how long before the actual wedding I can get in there... so I guess it really depends on that!

    Our reception and ceremony are at the same place. I will be staying the night at my house and shower prep and stuff at home. I will have my hair and make up done at the Venue and I will slip into my wedding gown just before the ceremony and they will take me to the first hole in a golf cart.

    @Nikki - I am SUPER jealous of your bridal suite!! It's gorgeous and so perfect!!!

    This was an annoying planning speed bump for me - the main hotel on the property doesn't have any large suites, but conveniently they do have super expensive 4-room villas with a 3 night minimum stay that they recommend - how helpful Smiley smile

    We're going to rent a house for literally one day for the bridesmaids to get ready in

    We rented suites at the hotel our reception is being held at. The church our ceremony is taking place at is about 8 to 10 minutes away.

    First look pictures are 45 minutes away (approximately 27 miles)

    Ceremony is 4.5 miles from hotel.

    Reception is at the same place as ceremony.

    At my parents (like 10 minutes from ceremony site). It has lots of space and I thought I'd feel more comfortable/it'd be less planning there than in a hotel room.

    We have everything at one location.

    We have a Bridal Suite for the ladies. A regular suite for the fellas on another floor.

    Hair and makeup are at the salon which is about 20 minutes from the venue, then we are getting dressed in the bridal suite at the venue and going straight into the first look which is on site of the ceremony and reception.

    A hotel suite literally 3-5 minutes from the ceremony/reception site. Pictures will be taken at both locations.
