Getting Ready on Your Wedding Day

Getting Ready

When your Wedding day arrives, you will most likely start your day getting your hair done, your face made up, and then finally putting on your bridal gown.

Most brides will be attended to by a professional hairdresser/make-up person, which is recommended.

At some point, if not before, the rest of the bridal party will arrive to help out.

Having a professional photographer during this time will mean many of these candid moments can be captured in an artistic, yet relaxed manner.

Time Needed

From Dave's experience, professional hair and make-up for the bride can easily take up to two hours.

If other members of the bridal party need to be attended to, plan on at least three hours of preparation time, if not more.

If you finish early, then you and the bridal party will have the perfect opportunity to get some group photos taken.

At this stage, you will do one of two things. Either go to:

  • The Ceremony, or
  • Take Formals, or
  • Perform other wedding day ritual (such as a Tea Ceremony)

Proper planning for this stage of your Wedding day is CRUCIAL, as it can impact the rest of your day's timeline (and photography as well).

Don't forget to eat something, too!
