Planning the flow of your wedding day can feel like a big task, but having a clear timeline helps everything run smoothly so you can focus on enjoying the moment. Below are two sample timelines to give you an idea of how the day might unfold—from getting ready through the last dance. Every wedding is different, so feel free to adjust these examples to fit your plans, venue, and photography needs. If you’re working with a wedding coordinator, be sure to review your timeline with them to make sure everything aligns. We’ll also go over your timeline in detail during our upcoming call to make sure the order of events fits your vision perfectly.
