The Basics of a Perfect Wedding Timeline

A great timeline is all about smart timing. Starting early with essentials like hair and makeup gives you room for special moments, like parent first looks or photos before the ceremony. Melissa explains that these early steps can save time later, allowing you and your partner to enjoy cocktail hour with your guests. Smart timing means a smooth, uninterrupted flow.

Tackling Wedding Timeline Delays

Let’s be real—delays happen. A ceremony that runs long or toasts that drag on can disrupt everything. Melissa shares ways to keep things on track, like keeping vendors aware of the schedule and keeping guests entertained during downtime. Pro tip: posting the timeline in the kitchen helps catering staff align with the day’s events.

Making It Look and Feel Right

Beyond timing, details matter! From the debate over preset salads to the look of tea on tables, Melissa explores how small touches create the vibe. A well-planned timeline isn’t just about logistics; it’s about reflecting the couple’s vision in every moment.
