    So glad to see this post. I was starting to freak out seeing all the others because I'm having a 1:00 PM ceremony and not starting my day at the hair salon until 9:00 AM. We're also doing pictures between church & hall (3 hour window). With the other timelines I was starting to worry I didn't allow myself enough time for things.
  • I know was thinking the same thing and freaking out. I think it might depend on the size of the party, how much time you need? And travel time. 

    My ceremony starts at 2, and we're doing hair/makeup at 10 am. I only have 3 girls though besides me, and one is 12 y.o. The salon swore up and down that 10 am would be enough time since we have 3 reserved stylists. I hope so LOL - think I need to call them again tomorrow! Also we're getting dressed right across from my venue and don't need travel time.
