Timeline
Working back from 14:00: hair and makeup start 09:30, photographer 11:00, guests arrive 13:30. Buffers total 45 minutes across the morning, mostly before the ceremony where overruns cost most.
How the Wedding Timeline Planner works
- Start from the fixed point — usually the ceremony time — and work backward from it.
- Add supplier arrival times explicitly, since they need to be told and they need setup time you have not counted.
- Build buffers into the morning rather than the afternoon; an overrun before the ceremony cannot be absorbed later.
FAQ
Where should buffers go?
Front-loaded, in the morning. Hair, makeup and travel are where delays start, and once the ceremony time is missed nothing later recovers it. Afternoon buffers get consumed by the delays that already happened.
How long do photographs actually take?
Longer than anyone plans. Group photos in particular take several minutes each once you account for gathering people, and a list of fifteen groups is an hour of the day.
Should suppliers get the whole timeline?
Yes, and their own arrival time confirmed separately. A supplier who has the full running order can adapt when something slips, and one who only knows their slot cannot.

Wedding Timeline Planner front-loads the buffers, because a delay before the ceremony is the only kind the rest of the day cannot absorb.
