Wedding Planning Tips: Timeline
Now is the time to get your timeline under control. Shoot an email out to your MIV — Most Important Vendors: Makeup artist, venue, photog/videographer, officiant and DJ. Ask questions about how long they need for their job, and explain what parts of the day are already planned (ie. the church only has 2PM open for your ceremony, so that ceremony is happening at 2PM).
There might be tricks and tips that will help them do their job more efficiently and save you time. Having you go first for hair and makeup means you could do your portraits while everyone else is putting on their hair and makeup and dresses. More time for you to really do a deep dive for your portraits and one thing checked off the list earlier in the day.
Check with Google as to what time sunset is in your area and check-in with the photographer about golden hour. These are some of the best times for wedding party portraits. You can literally just Google “sunset [[location]] [[date]]” and it’ll spit out the time of sunset on that date, past or future.
