SO…. I was just thinking what time should I set my alarm for the day of?….The ceremony starts at 2:30….I was thinking maybe 7am, is this early enough?…..  my MOH, 1 of my BM’s, and my mom will be getting their hair done the day of all by the same person….I think 7am will give us enough time…. what do you ladies think?

    I never even thought about this. I probably won't get any sleep the night before anyway, but I think 7am should be early enough

    Check with the person who is doing your hair and makeup to see what time works for them.  When one of my BM's got married we woke up at 7 to eat breakfast and then go to get our hair done and then come back to the hotel to get makeup done to be able to take pictures before her 3:30 wedding.

    You might want to get up a bit earlier.  Ive seen people put 8am as a wake up time for weddings that were set to begin around 4pm. I plan on being up by 7 or 8 and my ceremony is scheduled for 4pm.
    Maybe consider 5am.  Also cause I know some people in my BP dont understand time Im giving them earliers time to be completely ready.

    Maybe you can wake up later than everyone else though? Maybe they can do 5 and you can do 7. It is going to be a really loooong day.
