Day of Timeline

in January 2012 Weddings
I am so lost on how to set up the day of timeline. I don't know how much time to allow for the bridesmaids and myself to get ready. We can get into the hotel room @ 11 am or earlier. How long does it usually to do hair and makeup? This is what I have so far for the timeline. Notice the lack of pre ceremony timing... Help!

    I can send you mine when I get home.  We are having lunch and need to be ready by noon, so I just planned on getting the room the night before. That way I can not worry about it. Yes, its an extra cost, but I am turning it into a place to stay for my BMs that are coming out of town. A relaxing night!

    I also didn't plan out when my music was going to happen. I just figured the DJ will a) figure it out or b) talk to me that night.

    Thank you so much! That would help. The bridesmaids and I are staying at my MOH's house the night before the wedding. I think my FI and his groomsmen will be staying at the BM's house.

    Well what i have heard of making a time line, is you should work backwards. start at the ceremony time and work from there. I asked my salon and makeup artist how long I needed for each appointment, and added a good extra 10 minutes to the normal travel times because of snow. Make sure to build in lunch and extra time to get ready, just in case you get behind. At my cousin's wedding, we barely had enough time to get ready!

    Make sure you leave PLENTY of time for hair and make-up.  It was just me and my daughter.  So we started at noon, and the ceremony was at 3.  I had to rush to finish my daughter's makeup and be able to get my dress on (takes longer than you think).  It's better to have too much time, than not enough and have to rush and not be happy with how it comes out.

    The Day of is totally stressing me out... I just hope that we don't have super snow that would make the commute a mess (we are all staying downtown, but I have an appt at my hair salon which is a good 20 minutes away...)

    I've been saying that even if I have to walk to the church through the snow, there will be a wedding.  Might not be any guests, but there will be a wedding.

    Aside from a random freak storm, there's nothing really to worry about here.  It doesn't really snow here.  Even when it does, it melts within a few hours normally.  Doesn't stop the masses from panicing and forgetting how to drive though.

    I'm originally from Ohio and they don't close for feet of snow, let alone inches.

    The sad thing is the people here are stupid enough when it's dry outside.  Get more stupid when it rains.  God help you when it does anything else.
