Morning wedding timeline

The gathering of the bride and groom can take place at home or in a hotel room. At the same time, you can do the morning preparing for the wedding:

Together. In this case, the lovers will be able to take care of each other. The morning spent together before the celebration and common chores will give you even more confidence, warmth and give you pleasant emotions.

Separately. If you support the tradition that the groom does not want to see the bride before the wedding.

With girlfriends or friends. You can start the morning with a fun joint breakfast and then move on to packing up.

The bride and groom must complete all the necessary preparations on the eve of the wedding day. The duration of the wedding fees is determined individually, since it depends on the complexity of the makeup, hairstyle, and the qualifications of the master. But you must book at least two or even three hours for this.

Brunch wedding timeline

Meeting the groom with the bride.

Wedding ceremony. Registration of marriage is an important moment of a wedding, which should be bright, exciting, touching. The timing of marriage registration should be taken seriously as it will affect the planning of the entire day. After all, if you check in too early, you and your guests will have to get up very early, and if you check in late, you may not have time to walk. It would be best if you tried to find the "golden mean".

Walk and photo session

The wedding walk and photo session can take place with or without guests. If you decide that relatives and friends invited to the celebration should share every minute of this day with the newlyweds, then you should think about what the guests will be busy with during the walk. It is worth making a list of places you would like to visit, discuss these places, as well as the features of collective photography with a photographer. In case of bad weather, it is advisable to prepare an alternative plan for the walk.

A walk without guests is an opportunity for young people to be together, to take great photos without fuss and excitement, and guests at this time will not have to be bored on the sidelines. In this case, the guests will be invited directly to the registry office or restaurant. If you decide to take a walk after the registry office, you should come up with entertainment for the guests.

Evening wedding timeline

Traditional banquet. In this case, close people will gather to share this important event with the newlyweds. A standard wedding program is designed for an average of 5-6 hours. Therefore, you need to discuss with the toastmaster the start and end time of the banquet.

Buffet. If you decide to host a party for a small number of guests, it is worth considering the option of organizing a wedding reception.

No banquet. In this case, guests in honor of the newlyweds can launch balloons with wishes.

So, in brief!

Of course, the schedule we have presented should not be seen as a strict plan to be strictly followed. Rather, it is a rough guide from which you can schedule your own wedding day plan by the hour.

8:00 - 10:00 - Time for the morning getting up of the newlyweds, breakfast, taking a shower. Depending on the time of registration of marriage in the registry office or an exit ceremony, it may change. It is better to go to bed early on the eve of the wedding.

9:00 - 12:30 - Stage of creating hairstyles and makeup, trying on dresses and shoes. It is even better if you have at least another forty minutes in reserve in case any unforeseen circumstances arise.

The groom is also getting ready at this time.

12:30 - 13:00 - The bride and groom meet! Usually, a small festive buffet is held at this time.

13:00 - 15:00 - Wedding photo session. One crucial tip: prepare in advance and provide entertainment and buffet reception for guests. Waiting for the newlyweds for several hours is quite tiring.

15:00 - 15:30 - The photo session is over. The groom, the bride and some of the guests go to the place of the ceremony. If the photo session took place near registration and banquet, add at least 30 minutes to move to the wedding plan.

15:30 - 16:30 - Wedding ceremony.

16:30 - 17:00 - If the ceremony was held at the registry office, additional time is needed to get to the place where the banquet will occur. In this case, be sure to take into account possible traffic jams.

17:00 - 22:00 - Wedding banquet. The banquet has its own detailed "schedule", and it is called the script. Everything is scheduled there literally by the minute.

22:00 - 22:30 - The bride and groom say their thanks and leave. Sometimes the show program continues after that, this time only for guests.
