How Long Did You Take?

How long did you take to get dressed after getting hair/makeup done. Having first look pics done at 3:30. I can't figure out how long to allow myself to get dressed and not feel rushed

Re: How Long Did You Take?

  • Hair took 1.5 hours, I did my own make up in about 10 minutes, physically putting on the dress took like 10-15 minutes (lace-up back).  That said, we wanted plenty of getting ready pictures with my mom and family so we allowed for about an hour of that.  The time flew. 
  • My dress was a zip-up with no fussy undergarments, so for me, <1 minute Wink

  • Like, 5 minutes maybe?  Hair was at 9, I got to the church at 12 and was in my dress and getting makeup on by 12:30.  I did have a zip up dress with a crinoline, so it wasn't a big production.  Although, even the weddings I've been a part of where the bride was wearing a corset it was less than 30 minutes, I think.
