Venue is 15 min from hotel where im getting ready. It will be me and 1 bm getting our hair & make up. We have 1 person for hair and 1 for make up. She suggested: Schedule: 10:15-11 PERSON 1/BRIDE
11-11:45 BRIDE/ PERSON 1 11:45 - 12:15/12:30 | finishing touches If i want 1st look shots at the venue, i was thinking she should start maybe 30-60 min sooner. I also plan to pit my dress on at location(venue).
Thoughts??

    Talk to your hair/makeup team and ask when they will arrive. They do this for a living so they know what timeline works best based on your ceremony start time and if you plan to do formal pictures before the ceremony so you can straight to the cocktail hour.

    Formal pics will be after ceremony. We only want to do 1st look pics prior to ceremony. She said 10am-11 for 1st person and 11-11:45

    If you’re trying to do a first look and pictures beforehand, you’ll probably want to be at your venue getting your dress on 1.5-2 hours before your ceremony starts. I’d ask your photographer for a timeline and then share that with the hair and makeup artists to come up with a timeline.

    If you're only doing first look pictures (no bridal party pictures, family pictures, etc.) then maybe 15-30 minutes earlier, only because your guests will probably start arriving 30 minutes before so you'll want to be done with pictures by 12:30pm. I'd do:

    10:00am-10:45am - service #1

    10:45pm-11:30pm - service #2

    11:30pm-12:00pm - finishing touches

    12:00pm-12:15pm - transportation to venue + change into dress

    12:15pm-12:30pm - first look pictures
