4.5 - 5 hours before the wedding ceremony:
Set multiple alarms 15 minutes apart. One 15 minutes before you need to get up, and the second for the time at which you get out of bed. In such a simple way, you will have time to calmly wake up, stretch on the bed, and collect your thoughts.
Duplicate the wake-up time with your family or loved ones; let them make sure you wake up at the agreed time.
Be sure to organize yourself a light breakfast. The restaurant is still far away, but the body needs a boost of vivacity in the morning. Don't overeat.
4 - 4.5 hours before the wedding ceremony:
Take a bath. Ask your loved ones to prepare a dress, veil, shoes, gloves, jewelry, a garter, in winter, if necessary, a cape on the shoulders.

Usually, a wedding ceremony, a photoset at the registry office, takes about an hour. Guests are seated on different sides of the hall, on the one hand, relatives and friends of the bride, on the other, relatives and friends of the groom. The most awaited and touching moment of registration of your marriage is coming. Now you are a young family, and your beloved chosen one is now your husband! Congratulations!!!
Honeymoon walk:
Travel for a walk for the newlyweds. Usually, the route is discussed in advance with the driver and photographer. Like no one else, a wedding photographer knows very well all the pros and cons of various places for the newlyweds to walk and will probably tell you the best option. Allow, if possible, no more than 3-3.5 hours for a walk. During the walk, the photographer organizes a photoset for the bride and groom's walk, about 1-1.5 hours. At this time, guests are on their own and may get bored and tired of waiting. It is advisable to provide guests with a light meal and champagne.
Departure to the restaurant:

You are the happiest couple in the world. You have spent the most wonderful holiday and now is the time to say goodbye to your relatives and guests. Guests are warned about transport that will take them home. You say goodbye and leave the guests.
Wedding itinerary
Wedding Planning Assistant decided to help you a little. We have made up a wedding itinerary sample for a "virtual" couple, whose marriage registration is scheduled for 12.30 am, and the wedding banquet - at 6.00 pm. Go ahead and correct it for yourself!
7:00 am
Wake up! Calculate so that you have at least an hour before the hairdresser arrives. Take a shower, preferably a cool one. It will drive away from the remnants of sleep and invigorate. BE SURE TO EAT BREAKFAST. This sentence is highlighted in capital letters for a reason. In the experience of former brides, for many of them, breakfast was the only meal on their wedding day. Firstly, there are too many worries, emotions, and experiences waiting for you ahead. Secondly, there is simply not enough time for snacks. Even during a banquet, you will have to constantly pose in front of the camera, delight guests with sweet kisses, and participate in toastmaster contests. Therefore, even if breakfast is usually not on your schedule, eat something light: banana, yogurt, a couple of curd snacks.
8:00 am - 10:00 am
The work of a hairdresser. Depending on the complexity of the hairstyle, it takes from an hour to two. During this time, you will not be able to do absolutely anything; just sit quietly. Tune in to this in advance, and do not rush to run to give mom and witness the last instructions.
10:00 am - 10:30 am
Makeup artist work. It is not uncommon for a hairdresser and a makeup artist to work in pairs. While one is conjuring over a wedding hairstyle, the other is applying mascara to your eyelashes and lipstick to your lips. Therefore, when negotiating with a hairdresser and makeup artist, find out from them this point and take it into account when scheduling.
10:30 am - 11:30 am
Gathering the bride. Once your hair and makeup are ready, it's time to put on your wedding dress. Do not forget that all accessories must be prepared in advance. During your gathering, you will usually be actively filmed by a wedding photographer. If you want quality photos, a rush is not allowed. Some moments (putting on a necklace, garters, lacing a dress) will have to be done deliberately, slowly or even repeated several times.
11:30 am - 11:50 am
A small buffet at the bride's house.
11:50 am - 12:15 am
When calculating the time for the road, take into account the "force majeure" circumstances in the form of traffic jams from nowhere.
It is highly advisable to come to the registry office in advance. Especially if your wedding takes place during the "hot" season - in summer, in this case, even a 10-minute delay threatens to shift the entire sequence. Do you want to waste extra nerves on a day like this?
12:15 am - 12:30 am
The solution of organizational issues in the registry office. Before registering, you need to complete the necessary documents and, if you decide to order a photographer from the registry office, pay for his services.
12:30 am - 1:10 pm
Marriage registration. Solemn registration lasts about 10-20 minutes. Approximately the same amount should be allocated to the Champagne Hall and photographing.
1:10 pm - 5:30 pm
Photoshoot! According to wedding photographers, the optimal duration of a photo session is 2-3 hours. Otherwise, you will get too tired, and there is still a banquet ahead. However, it may take some time to get to the location. A tour of all the sights also takes time, and you will have to queue until the previous wedding leaves.
5:30 pm - 6:00 pm
Departure to the restaurant. Time to relax and touch up your makeup. The most intense moments are behind. Ahead of you are dances, funny contests, and many, many good wishes from your guests.
