Given all the planning you have, you want to ensure everything runs smoothly. The key to this is creating a plan to help you stick to your wedding day timeline. The more detailed the plan, the better. Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect.
Getting ready
Plus it will spare you a lot of stress because you need to relax. It might be hard letting go of some duties, especially when things are down to the wire but trust your team. Take this time to get dressed and look your very best.
The ceremony
It’s the moment you have been waiting for; everyone is seated, and the music is playing. It’s time for you to walk down the aisle, exchange your vows and say your “I dos.” There are a few things you want to hammer now before the big day. Most wedding ceremonies typically last 30 minutes to an hour, although they could be shorter, while most receptions normally last four to five hours.
First is the lighting; if you are having an indoor ceremony, it’s easy to work around any lighting problems; after all, they will affect the videography and photography. For outdoor ceremonies, you are at the mercy of the sun. If you intend on planning an outdoor Seattle wedding, early morning or evening weddings are best. If you held your ceremony at noon, the sun would be too harsh to take good photos.
Once you have figured out the lighting, think about the order of the serve. Will it be a typical wedding service or do you have something special planned? Whatever you want to do to show your love for each other, be creative; it’s your day after all.
Timing
It’s advisable to add a bit of cushion time to your timeline; this way, things aren’t thrown off track when something runs late. This means if the ceremony should start at 10 AM, add about 20 or 30 more minutes to your travel time. Having a programme guide is a great way to ensure everything runs smoothly. You don’t need a program guide for everyone attending, so print out a good number.
Lastly, after saying the I dos, it’s time for the party to start. The reception allows you time to take in what’s going on as you share a meal and some delicious cake with your guests. While it doesn’t seem like a lot, this part of the wedding can easily get out of hand. That’s why you need a wedding planner to help you run things smoothly, from ensuring the caterers are on time and the decor is spot on.

Ideally, you want to make sure all the little details are worked out before morning; this way, you can get some beauty sleep for your big day.
