A few things to consider
Wedding planning can feel like a whirlwind, but it always comes together - and the bits that don’t work out perfectly? Can turn into great stories.
Don’t take it too seriously and remember that it's your wedding day, not your marriage as a whole.
The ceremony won’t start without you, and your guests aren't checking the clock, so you've got time.
If your ceremony is taking place outside, and a rain shower happens to roll through, hold off for 10-15mins - there's no harm in waiting for the sunshine.
Make your day feel like you as much as you can. Include your dog, have Gran read a poem, skip the traditions that don’t matter to you, and lean into what does.
Whether you want a brunch ceremony, first look, afternoon garden party (that wraps up before 8pm), or an all-nighter - do it your way.
A quick mood board helps everyone (photographer, florist, makeup artist) stay aligned on your vibe.
Keep your getting-ready space clear, assign someone to wrangle family for photos, and bring umbrellas just in case.
Ask your celebrant to stand aside for your kiss, and maybe go for an unplugged ceremony so everyone’s in the moment.
Avoid midday sun if you can, softer light is always kinder.
If people want to speak at your wedding, my advice is to let them. It’s the one time people get to say things that are far too emotional to say on the regular, and it’s the best.
Above all, remember: the day is yours. The more personal it feels, the better the photos, and the memories, will be.
Time frames for your wedding day.
Knowing how and roughly when to have things happen on your wedding day can make it easier to break it down into plannable pieces.
Don't worry too much if it does't run perfectly on time on the day, most weddings don't, just due to the number of people involved.
You can do whatever works for you and use the following info as a very moveable guide.
This example run sheet is based on summer weddings - for winter weddings, you can bring everything forward an hour.
Getting ready
9am - 1.30pm
Broad, I know - but depending on how many people are having their hair and make up done, this will change. We don’t start taking photos of you until you’re almost ready, maybe an hour and a half before the ceremony, but I'll photograph all the details (rings, bouquets, dresses, suits, bridal party gifts, etc) while you're having your make up done. I can arrive at any point during this time frame,
so whatever works best for you.
2pm - 2.30pm
Heading to the ceremony
This depends on how long it takes to get from the prep location to the ceremony location.
It's more than ok to arrive 5-10mins after the allocated ceremony start time, to allow late guests to get to their seats. If you're planning on having a first look, now is a great time for that too.
3pm - 4pm
The ceremony
While this is the most important part of the day, it flies by. The time frame here depends on the type of ceremony you have planned, but most average about 20-30mins. The remainder of this hour is for you to take a breath, pop to the bathroom, touch up your make up or just spend time with your guests.
4.15pm
Family photos
Post-ceremony, everyone will want to congratulate you. Let them, and don't stress too much about how long it takes. Once the first few family photos have been taken, your guests will get into the flow of it and it shouldn't take too long. Make sure you have either the MC, a loud friend, or someone with a mic to wrangle everyone. Prioritise having photos with grandparents and any little ones first, so they don't have to stand in the sun too long.
4.45pm
Bridal party photos
My advice is to allow an hour for photos here.
It sounds like a lot, but it goes pretty quickly.
There’s often a spare 15-20mins of padding in there just for peace of mind too.
It also pays to have some food (and champagne!) available for yourselves,
picnics are pretty photogenic, but it’s really up to you what you would like.
5.45pm - 8.30pm
Reception, dinner and speeches
If there's somewhere you can both go for a minute before heading in to the reception, do it, sans photographer. Catch your breath, drink some water and then do the little grand entrance bit. Dinner and speeches can be arranged however you like, with a quick 15-20min break to slip away for sunset photos if that's part of the plan.
8.30pm
Cake cutting and dessert
This doesn't take long, but it gives the night
a second wind and signals a change of pace.
More speeches to follow if necessary.
9pm
First dance
Let loose, you did it.
Following this, send your photographer, videographer, content people home and enjoy the rest of the night.
