Getting Ready the Day of Wedding

Hi girls! 

I am wondering how to handle the timeline for the day of wedding.  I dont know how early is too early to get ready.  I need to tell my photographer and MUA what time to arrive.  Our ceremony is at 3PM and I plan on being ready by 1PM so have enough time to take pictures.  I have 7 girls also getting hair and makeup done.  I also heard its a good idea to eat something so none of us pass out!  Any suggestions?  What are your plans?

My ceremony is at 4.  My hair and makeup appt at the hotel's spa is at 1 so I'll probably have 45 minutes between being done and my ceremony.  Some of my bridesmaids are also getting their hair done.  I think their appt is at 12.

My ceremony is at 6:30 but I want to be done with hair and makeup by 4:30. I told my artists this and she and her assitant will be at my venue by 12:30 to get started on 9 girls.

Find out how much time the hair and mua need, then start that amount of time prior to 1pm.  And definitely eat a sandwich or something light while getting ready.

I had hair and make up people come in at noon (for a 5.30 ceremony).  I was last to get ready - the photog came at 3.30 and had got plenty of shots of the girls getting ready.  I also ordered Jason's deli for the guys and the girls - salads, sandwiches, fruit, etc.
