Crafting the Perfect Wedding Timeline

Work backward from the ceremony

Start with your ceremony time, then schedule hair, makeup, and photos before it. Add at least thirty minutes of buffer, because something always runs late.

Plan the reception flow

Group speeches, first dances, and cake cutting so guests have long stretches to eat and dance without constant interruptions.

Share it with everyone

Send the final timeline to your vendors, wedding party, and coordinator a week before the day, so everyone knows where to be and when.
