How Much Time is Enough?

Chantelle, on September 14, 2021 at 11:34 PM Posted in Planning 0 3
My photographer requests that Bride/Bride’s Mom/Bridesmaid’s Hair and Makeup are ready by 1:00/1:15pm. Bride and Mom are having professional hair and makeup done from 10:30-12:45pm.



5 Bridesmaids are DIYing their own hair and makeup. They will also eat brunch at some point. What time should they arrive? 10:30am? Or 11am? Is two hours (11am) enough time for 5 bridesmaids to DIY hair and makeup?

    I would think so but I would just ask them. "What time do you want to arrive, to be picture ready by 1pm?"

    As long as there are enough outlets for curling irons, straighteners, etc. then this should be enough time. If they are doing it themselves then they are all doing it at the same time. It's different if there is one person doing everyone's because then multiple people can't be getting ready at the same time.

    This is more so a questions for you bridesmaids. Ask them how long it usually takes them to get ready for formal events. Everyone is different. For me, 2 hours would probably be enough.

    We have three doing hair & make up, on just hair & two flower girls hair. We are starting at 10am to be done by 2pm. This all being done by professionals.


    I think you should ask your bridesmaids what their timeline is from start to finish and build off that. And you need to make sure there are enough mirrors and outlets for everyone to use at once or if there will be ladies waiting to use them which will add to you timeline.
