I'm having my bridal party meet me either at the ceremony/reception site (they have a bridal room) or a hotel suite for all of us (6 bridesmaids plus myself) to get our hair and makeup done. The ceremony starts at 6:30 pm. If we get ready at a hotel suite it will only be about 15 minutes away from the ceremony.
How much time should I allow for hair and makeup? Also, the photographer will be coming to take photos of us getting ready and I'm not sure what time to tell her to be there either. Should she get there shortly after hair/makeup arrives or wait until closer to us being finished?
