Exactly how much time did everyone set aside after the ceremony for formals? If you're a happily Married Mrs. would you have changed anything about how you did your formals & how much time it took? Such as you wished you had more time/could have used less time?
Here's my problem...Our ceremony & reception sites are only 4 minutes of driving time away from each other. If we go with our original time plan, with one hour of formal photog time, we will have almost a whole hour that guests will be at the reception before the bridal party arrives. IMO, it seems like too large of a gap. I'd rather have less of a time frame.
Time Plan:
Ceremony 4:30-5:00 (straight to pictures afterwards)
Guests arrive @ Reception by 5:15
Formal Bridal Party pictures: 5:00-6:00 (1 hour reccomended by our photog)
Bridal Party arrives @ Reception 6:05
OR is this COMPLETELY fine and I'm over thinking it??
