One of the most common questions of g our couples is: How does the timing of a wedding work? When each thing is done and how long it takes every part of the wedding.<\/p>\n

We solve all the doubts about the wedding timing<\/strong> to help you define the perfect timing for your wedding.<\/p>\n

What is the timing of a wedding?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The timing of a wedding is timeline or schedule where all wedding times and events are specified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wedding timing usually begins with groom and bride preparation (hairdressing, makeup, pre-ceremony photos, etc.), following with the arrival of the guests, the ceremony, the cocktail, the photos with guests, the banquet (lunch\/dinner) and it ends with the party.<\/p>\n

Having a well-detailed and organized timing will be essential in order all the moments and events of the wedding are coordinated: suppliers, catering\/kitchen, music, photographer, etc.<\/p>\n

Wedding schedule<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although each wedding is unique and has its special moments, most weddings share this schedule with these 10 main parts or moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Getting ready of the bride and groom<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Arrival of the guests<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Ceremony<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Appetizer<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Couple pictures<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Photos with guests<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Banquet<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Cut of the wedding cake<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. First dance<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Party<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s look in detail at each of these parts of the wedding:<\/p>\n

    1. <\/strong>Getting ready of the bride and groom<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The timing of a wedding usually begins with the getting ready of the bride<\/strong>, as usually requires more time: hairstyle, makeup, dress, photos of the process, etc.<\/p>\n

    It is recommended that the bride starts her preparation between 5 and 3 hours before the ceremony <\/strong>to have enough time and in order the photographer can take some photos before the ceremony.<\/p>\n

    Groom preparation<\/strong> usually begins about 3 or 2 hours before the ceremony<\/strong> so that it is ready between 1 hour and 30 minutes before the ceremony to receive the guests.<\/p>\n

    It will be important to know if the bride and groom get ready at the same place as the wedding, otherwise we will have to increase the timing for the transport.<\/p>\n

    2. <\/strong>Arrival of the guests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Guests arrive at the venue or church 30 minutes before the ceremony<\/strong>. In this part of the wedding, the groom usually receives the guests and welcomes them.<\/p>\n

    For the reception of the guests, it is a good idea to place a corner with drinks, juices or water and also some welcome sign as decoration.<\/p>\n

    During this time before the ceremony, guests can chat, have a drink, take pictures… And when it is time to begin the ceremony and the bride is ready, the wedding venue staff, coordinator or Wedding Planner, will inform the guests that they can take seat.<\/p>\n

    3. Ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The most important moment of the wedding begins, the ceremony.<\/p>\n

    Once all the guests are seated, the ceremony starts with the bride and groom entrances.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The first entry is usually the entry of the groom<\/strong>, traditionally accompanied by his mother. At many weddings the groom does not enter and waits directly for the bride at the altar.<\/p>\n

    After the entry of the groom, there may be the entry of bridesmaids and groomsman<\/strong>. At some weddings, bridesmaids may go after the bride.<\/p>\n

    Also, before the bride or together with the bride\u2019s entrance, there can be the entrance of the child with the rings or flower girl<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Finally, it is the turn of the bride\u2019s entrance<\/strong>, traditionally accompanied by her father.<\/p>\n

    For the ceremony entrances a special song<\/strong> is usually chosen.<\/p>\n

    Once the bride and groom meet at the altar, the ceremony begins.<\/p>\n

    Although there are many types of ceremony, this could be the structure of a civil ceremony:<\/strong><\/p>\n
