Ooo.. I like this. My ceremony is also at 11:30! My biggest concern however is hair and makeup.. but I don't see this specified on there. How long is yours going to take and what is your time frame for that? I'm personally worried because my stylist said 2 hours for H&MU but I have to travel to and from her salon. Grr.

Hair & Makeup timeline is causing me so much anxiety! I have 10 people getting makeup and 8 getting hair done (my sister-in-law will be doing my and her mother's hair). This is what I have below, but it is done with 2 makeup artists (I currently have 2 but I work in the industry so getting a 3rd shouldnt be difficult). I can extend the getting ready time a bit, but I wanted hair and makeup done by 8:30 and I also wanted to make sure to leave some extra time there for my friends (because I know them all too well...).

I keep confusing myself with the hair/makeup schedule too because it would be better for girls to have hair before makeup, but whenever I try to change things around I get confused. I want everyone done by 8:30, 8:45 the latest, and I wanted to leave some extra time just in case...

Nati05 · June 2012

Wow that's great! I'm guessing they're going to you? My salon is opening at their earliest 7am and it freaks me out. She says after the trial she'll only need 2 hours, but I have to factor in travel time so I'm really worried too.

You look fine though, you have plenty of relax and before pictures time. If anything goes wrong, you could always cut a tiny bit out of that.

Soo what time are you planning on waking up?? It's looking like 5:30 for me and I'm not excited haha

LindsayMeg · June 2012

Thanks! I seriously only started looking at this today, but I've been inwardly freaking out about it for the past few hours haha I feel like the closer the wedding gets, the more insane I get.

I know! I think mine will be about 5:30 too. I'm seriously not happy either, but I'll make all my friends get up that early as well. Hopefully they can cheer me up (along with a cup of coffee and a cocktail haha).

My prep team is coming to me at the hotel. The makeup artist is an old friend of mine who is very successful in the industry so she, her hair stylist partner, and their 2 assistants will be coming. I'll have to talk to her about adding in the 3rd to make it all less rushed.

Hopefully the adrenaline throughout the day will keep us awake!

Your timeline looks good, but I didn't see time for a receiving line or go around and greet your guests at their tables?

LindsayMeg · June 2012

Thanks Carla! We won't be doing a receiving line as we'll be getting married at the same place as the reception and the transition is literally stand up and move to the patio and adjoining cocktail room. I hadn't thought to plan a time to greet guests, but that would be good. When do you suggest to do that?

Carla1019 · June 2012

We are being served first and everyone will go to the buffet, so we will go around to each table after we eat and they are still eating.

Mmmm fried Oreos, count me in! Looks good and thanks for sharing since I wasn't sure where to start.
