Hair & Makeup timeline

My wedding is starting at 10:30am and I would like an hour for BP pics. Here is my thoughts on the pre-wedding schedule. Let me know if you think I need more time. I am thinking about hiring an on-site hair person for me, maybe my mom and sister. 

* I plan to wash and dry my hair before going to sleep at 11:30pm the night before.

5:00 am waking up 

5:30 breakfast, shower

6:00 church arrival

6:30 hair appt on-site, light breakfast fare available for BP

8:00 hair/make-up done

8:10 start to dress

8:25 end dressing

8:30 photog starts (not taking prep pics)

10:00 photog ends pics

10:15 everyone in place for wedding

Thanks in advance, ladies!

My wedding is at 10am and I can't get into the venue until 7am.  I have to be ready except for dress and shoes for the photographer at 8:30.  My hair will be style-ready the night before.  So here is my pre-ceremony timeline:

5:45am wakeup call
*shower and breakfast*
6:45am head to venue
7am hair and makeup
8:30am photography
9:45am processional lineup
10am LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

Everything looks good. I would add 10 minutes to each category and adjust from there to account for late ppl and the unknown.

LOL... we are naturally morning people. Plus, we get to have a pre-honeymoon after the reception until the after party, which is about 3-4 hours

Here is the revised with 10 mins added to each area, esp for appts (hair, photog starts). I feel better about this timeline...Thanks, ladies!

Exactly!!!!! I know I am typically running behind schedule, so having a late wedding was perfect for me!
