AurorasEnvy · May 2012

8am-10am: hair

10am-12:30: makeup, getting dressed, and lunch at my house

12:30-3pm: first look & other photos

3-4:30pm: ceremony & receiving line (just FI &I), other WP might get their pics taken depending on how many we actually got done before the ceremony

4:30pm-5pm: go to reception site, take more photos (likely just FI and I and then family shots)

5-6:30pm: cocktail hour

6:30pm: grand entrance, cake cutting, 1st dance

7pm: dinner

7:45pm: thank yous & toasts

8:10pm: parent first dances

8:15pm: general dancing starts

12am: end of the night

All of these times are approximate of course!

My photographer (she's from France) says that here in the US brides are ALWAYS running behind because hair and makeup take longer than the stylists/artists say - so I'd plan for extra time for those things, extra time to account for traffic problems, etc.
