I have gathered some wedding day tips to help your timeline run smoothly. Typically, a timeline follows a similar structure with minor adjustments to specific details.

Consider these tips when scheduling your hair and makeup: timing, location, what to wear, and getting into the dress.

‌Wedding Day Tip #1: Timing for Hair and Makeup

Brides, aim to be one of the first to get your hair and makeup done. You will look beautiful in the candid getting-ready photos. Remember: the bigger the bridal party, you will need to allow for hair and makeup.

‌Wedding Day Tip # 2: Location is Everything

When choosing a location, think about the space. Choose a clutter-free area that allows photos to be taken from all angles. Window light is a huge plus in a getting-ready space.

Wedding Day Tip # 3: What to Wear

I suggest wearing a robe or white button-up shirt. A robe looks flattering in portraits, making it easier for everyone to wear something similar. It doesn’t need to be an expensive robe, just something other than a T-shirt. T-shirts tend to be unflattering, especially around the midsection when sitting. Additionally, if you plan on creating a wedding day album, having everyone get ready in a robe can add a nice touch to the portraits.

‌Wedding Day Tip #4: Getting into the Dress

Getting into the wedding dress is a special moment and requires some planning. Whether it is your mother or maid of honor, they should be dressed, have their hair and makeup done, and be prepared to assist you.

Discuss the schedule for getting into the dress beforehand. This will ensure that your mom is prepared and knows where to be when it’s time for you to put on the dress. The bride should be ready to slip into the dress at the designated time for the day to run smoothly.
