Wedding Day Timeline: 4:00pm & 6:00pm Ceremony
Hey Squad,
As promised, I wanted to provide you all with a general template for a wedding day timeline for your wedding day. Your “Wedding Itinerary” (in Completely Bridal terms) will be the key to a successful wedding day experience. I assure you, you will feel like you are walking on clouds. Think about when you travel to another city or country, you would typically have everything planned before you even pack your bags. You would know what time your flight leaves, what time check-in is at your hotel, and what day you want to visit any landmark or restaurant that is in the local area of your accommodations. So, you should treat your wedding day the same way! Leaving little to no room for any mistakes.
Wedding days can be very stressful, especially if you are a type A bride and want to make sure everything is perfect. This template will guide you and your crew on how to have a seamless day and stay calm throughout the process.
If you are having an earlier wedding please be on the lookout for our upcoming blog on morning and afternoon wedding day timelines. If you have any questions about the timelines listed below, please do not hesitate to contact the Completely Bridal Hotline 347.674.6606 and chat with me about how to customize your timeline to your wedding day needs. I am happy to help! I’ll even throw in a few FREE professional wedding planning tips, trick, and to-dos + a couple of my Sophie Secrets.
Thank you for joining my community and I hope you find peace in your wedding planning journey or during your final days as a Feyonce.
