The wedding-morning timeline that actually works

Most late ceremonies start with a hair and makeup schedule nobody wrote down.

Count 45 minutes per bridesmaid and 90 for the bride, and add a buffer of half an hour.

The bride goes second to last, so her makeup is the freshest when the photographer arrives.

Open a window and switch off the curling irons you are not using — heat is the enemy of a base.
