Timeline & logistics

Wedding day timeline template

A clear day-of timeline reduces chaos more than another décor decision. Build one shared run sheet both partners and key vendors can follow, with buffers between getting ready, ceremony, photos, cocktail hour, dinner, and send-off.

Template blocks (adapt to your culture)

Use these blocks as a starting point; shift times for religious ceremonies, cultural rituals, or destination heat.

  • Getting ready + hair/makeup (build surplus for late starts)
  • First look or family photos (optional)
  • Ceremony + recessional
  • Cocktail hour / transition while couple portraits finish
  • Grand entrance, dinner, speeches or toasts
  • Dancing, cake, bouquet/garter or alternatives, last dance / send-off

Buffers and vendor handoff

Add 10–15 minutes between major blocks. Give the photographer, planner or day-of coordinator, DJ/band, and venue captain the same PDF or ICS. One partner should not be the only person with the schedule in their camera roll.
