please disregard my typo above lol *transportation*
This may be a stupid question, but for brides that ARE NOT getting ready at the hotel they'll be staying at their wedding night, how do you plan on getting home the next day?
In all reality, I have a lot of time until my wedding, but this is constantly on my mind; where should we get ready day of? It's legit my biggest hurdle with this wedding. Like, am I overthinking it?
Our ceremony is at my fiance's childhood church in Yonkers; ceremony will be at 2:30pm. Our reception venue is in Long Island; cocktail hour starting at 7:30pm. Changing either location is non-negotiable. I was planning on us getting ready at the hotel near our venue where our room block is, but I'm nervous about how that is going to work out. With traffic concerns, we need to give ourselves 2 hours for travel to the church to be safe, so we'll have to leave around 12:30pm. That means we'll have to start getting ready at the crack of dawn and we'll need the photography pretty early, leading to a long day for them (our reception ends at 12:30am). That has me freaking out about photography vendor costs and transportation vendor costs too.
To make things easier, I was considering staying at a hotel nearby our church, or look into an air b&b. What has me stuck is figuring out how everyone will get home on Sunday. Since we'll be transporting our bridal party and parents to the church, then to the venue post ceremony for photos prior to cocktail hour, and then providing shuttles to the hotel, how will we all get our cars to the hotel to get home the next day? Am I making this harder than it is? Please help!
