hair and make-up timeline

allforyou

so I am getting ready at the same place as our ceremony/reception. The photographer is taking pictures at my fiance's house then coming over to our venue with the guys around 3pm. FI and I are seeing each other before the ceremony to take pictures. The reveal is scheduled for approxiamately 3:45 and then we are going to do pictures from 4-5:30. Then we have the ceremony at 6.

So my real question is, what time should I get my hair done and when should I get my make-up done. I am not sure what time to tell everyone to be there.  The hairstylist and her assistant are doing 6 girls hair (including mine) and the make-up artist is only doing mine and my mom's makeup. Any ideas on a timeline? Thanks!!

I think the best resource for a timeline would be your hair/makeup people. They know best how long it takes them to do X amount of girls. Whatever time they tell you they want to start, tell your girls at least 30 minutes earlier. That way when (and they will) people run late you're still on schedule. For 5 of us my hair/makeup person allotted 2.5 hours.

I agree with SMW, you should probably start with your hair person as that will be the longest amount of time. Try to do your hair first so while everyone else is going, you can be getting your makeup done. I would also then in extra time for some cushion. You never want to be stressing b/c you are running late.

Yes, I agree ask your hair and make-up people.  They know how much time they need to get everyone done.  I would just give them a time that you want everyone to be done and ready by..and they will work in what time they need to start.
