Your wedding morning timeline
Bride always goes last
Always do the bride last so her look is freshest for the ceremony and photographs. Never first.
Always add buffer time
Even the most organised mornings run over. A 30-minute buffer is the difference between calm and chaos.
Share the timeline early
Send this to your artist, photographer, and bridesmaids at least 4 weeks before so everyone knows when and where.
Allow time for photos
Getting-ready shots are some of the most cherished from the whole day. Give your photographer 20–30 mins.
