The Big Day: Wedding Day Schedule

Hi everyone.

I am trying to put together a wedding day schedule but don't have a clue where to start.

Myself, my 4 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls (both will be 5) are staying at a friends house the night before the wedding, then going to my M.I.L's to get ready as she lives directly across from the church. We will be getting bathed/showered in the first property (she has 2 bathrooms) but then hair, make-up and dressed in the second.
We are having a professional to do hair and make up and have a photographer coming to capture the bridal prep.

What's the latest we would need to be at the M.I,L's? How long do I need to allow for hair and make-up per person etc?

My H2B has 4 groomsmen/ushers, best man and 2 pageboys (oldest will be 9yrs and youngest 19months) Who will be getting ready at our home. This is the bit I am most worried about eldest has ADHD and Autism and youngest hates getting dressed! So it needs to be structured for the oldest or he will have a meltdown.

Would you put the boys in there suits just before walking out the door?

How much earlier do they need to be at the church to welcome the guests?

We get married at 3pm and H2B keeps saying they can stay in bed until 1pm !
Hoping a schedule will help the getting ready stage go more smoothly. Sorry for so many questions!

Depends on the ages of the boys. If quite young then yes half hour max before leaving.

I think my OH will be at the church 45mins - an hour before the ceremony starts. I think the groom should always be there before any guests.

Thanks Emily the boys will be 9yrs and 19months.

Will put down OH to be there at 2pm then, will just have to work out something for the boys to do so they are not bored.

9yr old not long before 30 mins / an hour.
19yr old, I would say it depends on his autism. Only you would know that.

I'll put down for OH to get 19 month old dressed 15-30 mins before leaving.

As for the 9 year old it will have to be when he decides he is putting it on. Even if they have to take his suit to the church! It can take us hours to get him to get dressed. I may ask his mum if she would mind popping in and helping with him.

How is the autistic pageboy with wearing suits? If he finds it difficult cause of sensory issues, maybe wait until last minute to get him dressed. But I'd still get him up nice and early, maybe he could have a checklist/ tick box type thing to go through e.g. eat breakfast/ polish shoes etc? Could there be a 'quiet room' for him throughout the morning? If he's away from the busy stuff/ getting ready etc and can just chill quietly, he'll be calmer and might be better about getting dressed so he can be ready a bit earlier than just before you leave :-)

My husband got to the church about an hour before the ceremony, which given that guests started arriving 45 mins before wasn't a bad idea! Our wedding was at 12 and we started getting ready at 7:30/ 8 ish - it was nice and chilled and not stressy at all that way :-)

Thanks Louise. Congrats on your wedding!

He has only ever wore one once. I'm not sure how he was at putting it on as he was at his mums, but we had him that night and it was fight getting it off him. OH has told him that just him and Daddy will go shopping for his suit and he can pick it.
It never even crossed my mind to do a check list for him. He loves lists so will definitely do one. He has said he wants to get ready at home with daddy so he will have his bedroom for quiet time (no one is allowed in unless he says so).
