hmua end time?

Waldy, on November 26, 2019 at 12:36 PM Posted in Hair and Makeup 0 7

Hi everyone!

I hired professional hair and makeup for myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mom. The HMUA ladies are going to send me a tentative timeline and want to know what my end time would be. FH and I want to do a first look at the our venue, but vendors aren't allowed on the property until 3:30 p.m. (ceremony is at 5:30). We want to try to do all the photos we can before the ceremony so we can enjoy our cocktail hour.

The hairstylist said the style I want would take about two hours: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/838232549379657560/

What would be a good end time - 2 p.m.? earlier? IDK how long it would take to get cutesy bridesmaid getting ready photos and actually get ready. I feel like an hour should be ok? Then leave the hotel at 3 to get to the venue? it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the venue from the hotel.

    Our Ceremony started at 4:30 and our HMUA said we needed to be ready by 2, and that was without a first look and we still felt rushed! So I would say 2 for you sounds about right!

    Ask your photographer when she/he wants you ready. Our HMU schedule was made based off our photographers schedule. We too did a first look. My wedding started at 5:30 and my photographer asked my HMUA to be finished by 3:30.

    Oooh, your photographer's timeline is very helpful! I will definitely ask mine for advice.

    The girls were in their dresses by that time, but I didn't put mine on until we got to the ceremony venue. I didn't want to sit on it in a car and risk messing it up!
