    Im a little stuck with timings for hair and make up.

    There's me and my 2 bms.

    The make up artist said to do make up before hair and she would take around 2 hours. My hair stylist said she'd take around 2 hours too.
    I plan on having the bms make up done first then my hair stylist to do each of us as soon as make up is done.
    I need to leave at 11.30am.

    What time is best for us to start? I want to make sure i have plently of time so were not rushing around xx

    Makeup 7.30am to 9.30am
    Hair 8:30am to 10:30am

    The hair lady can overlap with the makeup lady as when one person has been made up they can move on to the hair lady.

    Then you still have an hour before you have to leave as a buffer if things go overtime.

    You need to be done last for hair and while you are getting done your BMs should be putting on their dresses, putting shoes & jewellry on. Then when you are ready you can get into your dress with them helping you xxx

    You need to speak to your photographer too if ur having one there for prep, as my photographers coming to mine at 9.30 after he's done the groom so the bridesmaids have to have their hair done before mine, so that we fit everything in before the ceremony x

    I would say the earlier the better!!!
    I'm getting married at Midday and intend to start hair at 9am and make up at 10am??
    I will be doing it myself as I want minimum makeup and no one will be able to do my hair like I want it??!!!
    A fussy bride but I have standards!!!

    I think 7:30 sounds about right.

    Have you asked them both directly? I'm sure they've come across this scenario more than once.

    Yes def liaise with photographer and videographer too, if you want them to capture that part of your day.

    We have to be ready to leave by 12:30pm and the photographer wants to have photos done around 11:30am so he can rush off to the Church to take H2B and the groomsmen. So we have to be done by 11:30am at the latest. I have 2 BM's and we're starting hair and makeup at 8:30am so if you have to leave an hour before me I'd suggest starting hair and makeup at 7:30am.

    I'm leaving my house at 12 for a 1pm wedding, and my hairdresser is getting to me for 8. There's 2 of them to do 6 bridesmaids my mum and I, and my make up lady is coming with them as she is a friend, so make up will be done at around 10 :)
