Day-of guide
Hair & makeup timeline
Underestimating beauty prep is the #1 reason ceremonies run late. Use 45–75 min per bridesmaid and 90–120 min for the bride.
| Time | Event |
|---|---|
| 8:00 AM | Bridesmaids hair begins |
| 9:30 AM | Bride hair & makeup |
| 11:30 AM | Mother / MOH touch-ups |
| 12:30 PM | Bride into dress (allow 30 min) |
Common questions
- Who goes first in hair and makeup?
- Bride usually goes second-to-last; one bridesmaid or MOH goes last for photos during final touch-ups.
