How do I plan hair timings on my wedding morning?

The ceremony time is only one point in the morning. You may want photographs before leaving, time to dress, help fastening an outfit or a journey to the venue. Establish when you actually need to be ready, and share that time with everyone involved in hair, makeup, photography and transport.

Write these commitments down before assigning appointments. A short shared schedule is easier to follow than several separate conversations. Mark the times that are fixed, then let your suppliers help work out the sequence around them.

Create one complete list of everyone requesting hair styling. Include mothers and other family members if they want an appointment, rather than adding them to the plan later. Ask each person for a reference picture or a brief description, their approximate hair length and any accessories they intend to use.

Avoid allocating an identical slot to everyone without discussing the styles. Different requests may need different preparation, and the stylist should confirm realistic timings. Keep one person responsible for collecting changes so the plan does not become a mixture of outdated messages.

Check when the getting-ready space becomes available and whether your suppliers can enter before the rest of the group. Share the correct entrance, parking information and any stairs or access restrictions. Ask the stylist what chair, working area and other facilities they need instead of assuming the room is already suitable.

Discuss the order of hair and makeup with both suppliers, especially where their work overlaps around the hairline. Keep accessories together in labelled bags and have outfit-opening details in mind. Anything that needs to pass over the head deserves consideration before a finished hairstyle is in place.

A useful schedule includes time to move between tasks, find missing belongings and respond to small changes. Ask your suppliers where they would place that breathing room. An overfilled timetable can make ordinary interruptions feel like emergencies, while an agreed sequence gives everyone a clearer understanding of what happens next.

Choose a contact person who can answer practical questions while you are having your hair done. Give them the current schedule, supplier contacts and location details. They can direct arrivals and gather the next person without making you manage every conversation from the styling chair.

Classic includes wedding-day styling for the bride, two bridesmaids, one mother and one flower girl, with a bridal trial available to add. VIP includes the bride and her trial, three bridesmaids, one mother and one flower girl. Premium includes the bride and her trial, four bridesmaids, both mothers and two flower girls. Additional people can be added at the published rates.

Send the date, venue, ready time and full party list when enquiring. Ask Becky to confirm the proposed timetable, travel arrangements and current package suitability. A package price describes its contents; it does not by itself establish how many people can be accommodated in your available morning.
