    Our ceremony starts at 6:30 and I believe we'll have the hair and makeup start around 11.  I'm pretty sure we'll start pictures around 2:30.

    much depends on how big your wedding party is and how far away you are going for pictures. I am getting ready less than 1 mile away from my venue. We are staying within a 7 mile radius for pictures. I have 6 bridesmaids and a flower girl. My hair dresser (my cousin) is setting up at 8 at our hotel. We are actively starting hair at 10 with Brideface coming somewhere around 12. Our pictures start at 2:30 outside  (travel time included to get groomsmen to the first meeting location and then back to pickup bridesmaids at 2:45ish) pictures should actually get going around 3, to the church for photos at 5 and then back behind roughly 6 for guests to start entering.  In my perfect mind, this should work, but I have a feeling we will be tweaking this a bit once the schedules come together.

    our wedding is at 6. So probably going to get hair and make up done around 12-1. Getting to the venue getting ready and pictures will start around 5

    I guess I never really thought about how we were going to do pictures(as far as boys, then girls, then together). But I would say we would start those around 3ish. So I guess 11 or 12 would work the best as far as starting hair and make up.

    Our ceremony starts at 7pm - we have hair appts at 11:00 am - then make-up appts. at 1:00 pm - then back to MOH house to have "lunch" and to get ready.  The limo is picking the "boys" up at 3:00 - taking them to our pic destination - they will start on pics - the limo will come pick up the girls - take us to the same spot as the boys and then FI and I will have our moment before the "together" pics are taken before ceremony begins.  I do plan on getting back a little before the guests begin to arrive so I am not walking in as they are coming and also to freshen up before the ceremony begins. Good Luck!!!!

    Yup, hair at 11, makeup at 1, pics at 3.  We are stopping at 3 locations and will be back by 5 to do family shots before the 7 p.m. ceremony (all 3 locations are within 1/4 mile and we are taking a party bus so no waiting for anyone to arrive).
