The morning of your wedding should feel calm, joyful, and downright fun, not rushed or chaotic! One of the biggest reasons brides feel stressed on their wedding day has nothing to do with the ceremony or photos… it’s the getting ready process.
That’s why at Updos For I Dos, we don’t just show up to do hair and makeup, we build a personalized beauty timeline for every bride. With over 5,000 weddings under our belt, we know exactly how to create a smooth, well-paced, completely stress-free getting-ready experience.
You deserve to sip your coffee (or champagne!), laugh with your bridesmaids, and enjoy every behind-the-scenes moment, not watch the clock. And with the right wedding morning schedule, you can!
Why Your Getting-Ready Timeline Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Every wedding is different, guest count, venue, number of people receiving services, photography schedules, first looks, travel time… the list goes on! That’s why generic timelines and cookie-cutter advice can actually create stress instead of preventing it.
We consider your unique schedule and build a timeline that works with:
Your ceremony or first-look time
Your hair and makeup vision
Your bridal party size
Your photographer’s arrival
Travel between locations
Any cultural or traditional elements
A well-designed timeline makes your morning feel like a curated event, not a race!
How We Structure a Flawless Wedding Morning
After more than a decade and thousands of weddings, we’ve perfected a flow that keeps everything calm and efficient. Here’s how we make your morning run beautifully:
We build in order, not strict time slots.
Instead of assigning everyone a rigid “appointment time,” we design a lineup based on who should go first, second, third, and so on. Some services take a little more or a little less time depending on hair length, style, or makeup preferences, so we create a chronological schedule that keeps the morning moving naturally!
No one ever feels late. No one waits around confused. The day just… flows.
Everyone receiving services must be present when we arrive.
This is our golden rule! Once our team sets up and starts services, the rotation needs to stay steady. No last-minute coffee runs, no missing bridesmaids, just a smooth, uninterrupted process that keeps everything perfectly on pace.
When everyone is there, we guarantee a stress-free experience from the first curl to the final lip touch-up!
Last-minute errands should be done before glam begins.
Did a dress need steaming? Need someone to grab snacks? Want a bridesmaid to pick up coffee? Amazing, but it should be handled before your hair and makeup artists touch a single strand or lash.
Once services begin, the best thing your bridal party can do is relax, stay present, and let our pros lead the way!
Why a Professional Beauty Timeline Changes Everything
When your hair and makeup are expertly scheduled, magic happens!
Your look lasts longer
