How to Make a Wedding Morning Timeline

“Hey Natasha, what time will you arrive on the wedding day?”
The best way to work out any schedule is to work backwards. Take the time you want to be at the ceremony (or first look photos) and minus the below:

• The time it takes to get from your wedding-prep location to the ceremony location

• 1 hour to have a drink, have photos, to get into your dress/shoes/jewellery/perfume etc (this always takes longer than expected because of the photography goodness). This hour also a buffer for if anything is behind schedule.

• 1 hour for the bridal hair

• 40 minutes for each bridesmaid/extra head

• 20 minutes for each flower girl

Once you have taken away all the above, you will get the time that I should be arriving at your wedding prep venue. 

It is always best to allow a bit more time than you think you will need. Someone might just need to finish their breakfast, brush their teeth, do a coffee run, pour the bubbles, steam a dress or dab some tears. All of those little things can add up and alter your timelines, so it’s best to plan ahead and allow extra time to avoid stress.
