So, we are drawing up an hourly plan for the wedding.

Hourly plan wedding very much depends on the time of the wedding ceremony in the registry office. This is what we will start from when drawing up an hourly plan for conducting wedding day.

4.5 -5 hours before the wedding ceremony:

Set several alarms 15 minutes apart. One 15 minutes before you need to get up, and the second at the time you get out of bed. In this simple way, you will have time to wake up calmly, stretch on the bed and collect your thoughts.
Copy your wake-up time with your family or friends, let them make sure that you woke up at the agreed time.

Be sure to arrange a light breakfast for yourself. It’s still a long way to the restaurant, but the body needs a boost of energy in the morning. Don't overeat.

4-4.5 hours before the wedding ceremony:

Take a bath. Ask your loved ones to prepare a dress, veil, shoes, gloves, jewelry, garter, and in winter, if necessary, a cape over the shoulders.
It is also necessary to prepare a light snack, glasses, sweets for a trip in a limousine and for a walk.
The witness and her friends begin to decorate the entrance and apartment for the “bride ransom”. Balloons and posters are hung up and props are prepared.

3.5 hours before the wedding ceremony:

They come to you: hairdresser, makeup artist, photographer. The process of “dressing the bride”. They're doing your wedding hair, wedding makeup, the photographer photographs the activities for your “wedding album.”

2 hours before the wedding ceremony:

You are already completely in the image of a bride. Hair, makeup, dress and you look great.
The groom has arrived at your house and, together with his witness and friends, is ready to see his beloved bride in full beauty.
The fun “bride ransom” begins. The groom undergoes a series of competitions and tests to determine his “professional suitability” for the role of groom. The “bride ransom” is carried out by a witness on the part of the bride and the bride’s friend, sometimes the ransom is carried out by the toastmaster. The bride is waiting for the groom at home. The photographer takes pictures of the “bride ransom”.

1-1.5 hours before the wedding ceremony:

After the ransom, according to tradition, there is a small buffet before leaving for the registry office. Parents bless the young.
Witnesses confirm the arrival of cars, limousines, minibuses for the trip of guests and newlyweds to the registry office.
Depending on the proximity and traffic jams, guests and newlyweds go in a wedding cortege to the registry office.
Don't forget to take your passports and rings.

Wedding ceremony:

Usually the wedding ceremony and photo shoot at the registry office takes about an hour. The guests are seated on different sides of the hall, on one side the relatives and friends of the bride, on the other the relatives and friends of the groom. The most long-awaited and touching moment of registering your marriage is coming. Now you are a young family, and your beloved chosen one is now your husband! Congratulations to YOU!!!

Directions to the newlyweds' walk:

Directions to the newlyweds' walk. Usually the route is discussed in advance with the driver and photographer. A wedding photographer, like no one else, knows very well all the pros and cons of various places for the newlyweds to walk and will certainly advise the most best option. If possible, allow no more than 3-3.5 hours for the walk. During the walk, the photographer organizes a photo shoot of the bride and groom walking, approximately 1-1.5 hours. At this time, guests are left to their own devices and may become bored and tired of waiting. It is advisable to provide guests with a light snack and champagne.

Departure to the restaurant:

Happiness and goodness to YOU, dear newlyweds!!! The team of the wedding portal Vlyubleny.Ru

Your wedding day is the most special day of your life. It flies by in an instant, and a huge number of events happen during it. How can you manage to accomplish everything planned? The answer is simple - you need to draw up in advance wedding day plan.

Our wedding portal decided to help you a little. We have drawn up a rough plan for a “virtual” couple whose marriage registration is scheduled for 12.30, and wedding banquet- at 18.00. All you have to do is adjust it to suit yourself.

7.00

Rise. Calculate your rise so that you have at least an hour left before the hairdresser arrives. Take a shower, preferably a cool one. It will drive away the remnants of sleep and invigorate you. BE SURE TO HAVE BREAKFAST. There is a reason why this sentence is in capital letters. From experience former brides Orla, for many of them breakfast was the only meal on their wedding day. Firstly, too many worries, emotions and experiences await you ahead. Secondly, there simply isn’t enough time for snacks. Even during the banquet, you will have to constantly pose in front of the camera, delight guests with sweet kisses and participate in toastmaster competitions. Therefore, even if breakfast is not usually on your schedule, eat something light: a banana, yogurt, a couple of curd cheeses.

8.00-10.00

Hairdresser's work. Depending on the complexity of the hairstyle, it takes from an hour to two. During this time, you will be able to do absolutely nothing except sit quietly. Prepare yourself for this in advance and don’t rush to run around giving the last instructions to your mother and witness.

10.00-10.30

Makeup artist's work. Often a hairdresser and makeup artist work in pairs. While one is conjuring your wedding hairstyle, the other is applying mascara to your eyelashes and lipstick to your lips. Therefore, when making arrangements with your hairdresser and makeup artist, find out this point from them and take it into account when drawing up your schedule.

10.30-11.30

Bride's preparations. Once your hair and makeup are ready, it's time to put on your wedding dress. Don't forget that all accessories must be prepared in advance. During your preparations, as a rule, you will be actively photographed by a wedding photographer. If you want high-quality photos, there is no rush. Some moments (putting on a necklace, garters, lacing a dress) will have to be done deliberately slowly, or even repeated several times.

11.00-11.30

Bride ransom. Considering that the ransom takes place without the main character of the celebration, you have another half hour to be alone with your thoughts. Go to the mirror, smile at the reflection, tell yourself that today nothing can upset you. Everything you could organize, you have already organized. Now your task is to enjoy this day.

Don't delay the redemption too much. Your goal is not to “pump” as much money as possible out of the groom and witness, but to relax them a little and put them in a cheerful, positive mood.

11.30-11.50

Small buffet at the bride's house.

11.50-12.15

When calculating travel time, take into account “force majeure” circumstances in the form of traffic jams that appear out of nowhere on the road.

It is highly advisable to arrive at the registry office in advance. Especially if your wedding takes place during the “hot” season - in the summer. In this case, even a 10-minute delay threatens to shift the entire queue. Think about it, do you want to waste extra nerves on a day like this?

12.15-12.30

Solving organizational issues in the registry office. Before registration begins, you need to complete necessary documents and, if you decide to order a registry office photographer, pay for his services.

12.30-13.10

Marriage registration. The formal registration lasts about 10-20 minutes. Approximately the same amount of time should be spent on the “Champagne Hall” and photography.

13.10-17.30

Photoshoot. According to Orel wedding photographers, the optimal duration of a photo shoot is 2-3 hours, otherwise you will be too tired, and there is still a banquet ahead. However, the journey to the shooting location may take some time. Visiting all the attractions also takes time and you will have to stand in line until the previous wedding has left.

17.30-18.00

Departure to the restaurant. Time to relax and touch up your makeup. The most intense moments are behind us. Dancing awaits you ahead, fun competitions and many, many good wishes from your guests.

Each couple of newlyweds can plan their wedding day at their own discretion. If you carefully think through and calculate the time for each of the events of the wedding day: from morning preparations to the banquet, then this important day will not be rushed and stressful, but can leave only pleasant memories. To make planning easier, we have prepared for you several options for each stage of the wedding. And you, in turn, can already choose the one that suits you best and create a schedule for your wedding day.

Morning chores

Getting ready for the bride and groom can take place in home environment or in a hotel room. At the same time, you can engage in morning preparations for the wedding:

  • Together. In this case, lovers will be able to take care of each other: the groom will help button up the bride’s dress, and the bride will be able to carefully attach the groom’s boutonniere. Spending the morning together before the celebration, common chores will give you even more confidence, warmth and pleasant emotions.
  • Separately. If you support the tradition in which it is not advisable for the groom to see the bride before the wedding, then you can devote the whole morning to yourself: have a good rest and take time to create the perfect wedding look. But, even if you decide to get ready separately, you can prepare small surprises for each other that will set a festive mood.
  • With girlfriends or friends. You can start your morning with a fun breakfast together, and then go straight to getting ready.

The bride and groom must do all the basic preparations on the eve of the wedding day: prepare everything they need, put it in a certain place. In the morning you will only need to get yourself in order. The duration of wedding preparations is determined individually, since it depends on the complexity of makeup, hairstyle, and the qualifications of the artist. But you should book at least two or even three hours for this.

To get touching, tender, emotional photographs, you can invite a photographer during your morning preparations. After all, in these moments a photographer can capture the most unique emotions - excitement, tears of joy, admiration, surprise.

Meeting the bride and groom

This is an incredibly touching, exciting moment that can be organized in different ways:

  • At the bride price. Couples who are adherents of classical traditions can conduct a bride ransom. If we approach this tradition with creative approach, then you can come up with many non-trivial and original tasks for the groom - the main thing is to show your imagination.
  • At the door of the registry office. If the newlyweds do not want to arrange a festive ransom, you can pay attention to the European approach and organize your meeting directly at the Wedding Palace. To make such a moment of your meeting spectacular, you can hire identical cars for the bride and groom and arrange for their one-time arrival at the Wedding Palace.
  • In a romantic place. Very interesting option could be a meeting of young people romantic date. You can agree on the meeting place in advance, or you can surprise the bride. For example, in the morning the bride receives a letter from the groom in which he invites his beloved on a date in an unusual, interesting or significant place for the two of them. Such a meeting before the wedding will be amazing and touching.
  • At the exit registration. It will be very romantic to have a meeting in a place where on-site registration is organized.

Wedding ceremony

Marriage registration - important point wedding, which should be bright, exciting, touching. Newlyweds can choose the most suitable wedding ceremony option for their celebration:

  • At the registry office. It is important to remember that in order to complete all the required formalities before registration, you must arrive at the registry office 30 minutes before the time appointed for the ceremony. Also take some time to joint photos with guests after marriage registration.
  • At the exit registration. This option is suitable if your soul wants something special. But it is worth considering that in this case, marriage registration can be official (carried out by a registry office employee), as well as symbolic (carried out by a professional host; the official registration of the relationship between the bride and groom was formalized in advance).

The choice of time for registering a marriage should be taken seriously, as it will affect the planning of the entire day. After all, if you register too early, you and your guests will have to get up very early, and if you register late, you may not have time for a walk. We need to try to find a “golden mean”.

Walk and photo session

A wedding walk and photo shoot can take place with or without guests. If you decide that the relatives and friends invited to the celebration should share every minute of this day with the newlyweds, then it is worth considering what the guests will be doing during the walk. It is worth making a list of places you would like to visit, discussing these places, as well as the features of group photography with a photographer. In case of bad weather, it is advisable to prepare an alternative plan for the walk.

A walk without guests is an opportunity for the newlyweds to be together, take great photos without fuss and worry, and at this time the guests will not have to be bored on the sidelines. A good option might be a walk and a photo shoot before the wedding ceremony, since in this case the guests will be invited directly to the registry office or restaurant. If you decide to take a walk after the registry office, then you should come up with some kind of entertainment for the guests, for example, organize an excursion walk separately from the bride and groom, invite a separate photographer and set up a photo zone, or arrange a bartender show where they will be treated to delicious (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) drinks.

Banquet

  • Traditional banquet. In this case, divide it important event Close people will gather with the newlyweds, photos and videos with whom you will want to review even many years after the wedding. This type of banquet can be organized in a restaurant, cafe, recreation center or outdoors. It is worth considering that a standard wedding program lasts an average of 5-6 hours. Therefore, you need to discuss the start and end times of the banquet with the toastmaster.
  • Buffet. If you decide to throw a party for a small number of guests, you should consider organizing a wedding buffet. There are many options for carrying it out: at home, in a restaurant, outdoors, on a boat, on the shore of a reservoir, with horseback riding, or while visiting an entertainment center.
  • No banquet. This option can be chosen if, for example, immediately after registering your marriage you are going to go on a honeymoon. In this case, guests in honor of the newlyweds can launch balloons with wishes.
  • Wedding for two. A romantic option is to celebrate the wedding together with your loved one in a secluded place, away from everyone. To do this, you can not only arrange a dinner for two in a restaurant, but also go into nature, go to an ice skating rink, ride on a yacht - the flight of imagination is unlimited.

Practical points

A detailed plan prepared in advance will help you avoid difficulties during your holiday. You can ask a responsible person, for example, a witness, to monitor the implementation of the schedule. To do this, you must remember to print out the plan so as not to accidentally miss or mix up anything. It is worth noting that a situation may well occur when the planned stages do not go as planned. The main thing in this case is not to panic or worry, because your plan can always be adjusted, and the most important thing is to maintain a positive attitude and good mood.

By creating a schedule before your wedding, you can simply enjoy what's going on at your celebration and bring maximum pleasure to your guests. Therefore, it is worth treating this matter with full responsibility.

How to correctly calculate your wedding day

See what a bride's schedule might look like on her wedding day. There are many common points that unite all weddings. There may be minor discrepancies in hours, but the principle of creating the bride’s schedule is approximately the same for all weddings.

To properly plan your wedding day schedule by the hour, you need to take . When you know the beginning of registration at the registry office, it will be easier to schedule the entire wedding day. What should you determine first?

  • - determine what time the bride needs to get up
  • The time of arrival of the makeup artist, find out how much time the master will need to work with you.
  • When the makeup artist finishes working with the bride, it is time to do a photo shoot in the morning and you need from 40 to 60 minutes.
  • The arrival of the wedding procession and the ransom of the bride - 20 minutes is enough.
  • Travel time to the registry office
  • Duration of marriage registration + time to accept congratulations from friends.
  • Calculate in advance right time to the parade venue, duration about 2 hours.
  • Calculate the duration of the route to the restaurant.
  • What time do parents need?

Approximate wedding schedule by the hour

  1. Let's assume that the bride needs to get up at 7:00 a.m. professional makeup and hairstyle, if the bride has long hair, it may take more than one hour to create a hairstyle. I recommend asking the master in advance how much time he will need. Newlyweds need to have a good breakfast, because from the moment wedding registration Almost the whole day will pass before the banquet in the restaurant.
  2. The makeup artist arrives at 9:00 am.
  3. 10.00-10.15 - arrival time of the wedding photographer.
  4. The supply of a wedding car also needs to be clarified in advance; if you plan to buy the bride, you need a reserve of about 20 minutes. If a wedding limousine is ordered, it will take more time to cover the route.
  5. 11.00 - 12.00 departure to the registry office. Depending on the start of registration, it will be finally clear what time the bride needs to wake up and set the arrival time for specialists; makeup artist and photographer. The ceremony usually lasts no longer than 40 minutes.
  6. Allow an hour to get to the front door wedding photo shoot, if you go to the Moscow estate, you will need more time taking into account traffic jams.
  7. 17.30 - banquet in the restaurant. In front of the restaurant (or inside the establishment just before the entrance), newlyweds, according to tradition, are met by their parents with bread and salt.

Next comes entertainment program, the first dance of the newlyweds, gifts, competitions, congratulations, and of course, bringing out the wedding cake and throwing the bride’s bouquet. Since not all guests will be present until the very end of the holiday, do not put off taking out the wedding cake and throwing the bouquet until the very end of the evening.

The last hour of the rented time should pass without important and obligatory moments, because some of the guests will already have gone home, and the remaining guests will be tired and overexcited. Therefore, at the very end of the holiday, young people can dance on the dance floor, and the newlyweds will be able to see off their guests with respect and gratitude. This is a possible wedding day plan.
