What time of day are you saying I do at ?

We are getting married at 1:00pm

We are planning for a 3pm ceremony we picked that time so we can have our dinner at 5pm and our reception starts for 7pm 🥰

Our cocktail hour starts at 4:30 (we are doing all our bridal party pictures at this time) with the ceremony starting at 5:30. Then pictures with guests right after and seated for dinner by 7pm and dancing around 8:30. No down time for our guests and they have the entire day to themselves. I love the later start for getting ready too!! 24 days away!!

View quoted message Yes exactly. Plus it allows us not to rush in the morning and still have a good party at night until midnight.

Nice! Not too much time to wait in between, love that! 4pm seems to be a popular ceremony time

View quoted message

Love that, sounds like a smooth and shorter transition period!

That is so neat and romantic!

Our ceremony starts at 4pm and by 5 cocktail hour will start so guests can be seated for dinner to start around 6:30.

We are getting married about 45 minutes before sunset, around 6:45 so our wedding photos can be taken at sunset since there will be an almost full harvest moon happening.

Our wedding starts at 2:30 pm, then we will be doing photos then Dinner

Our ceremony starts at 4:30 pm! And leads right into cocktail hour and then after that is dinner

4pm seems to be a very popular ceremony start time. I love it, more of a heading into evening vibe and less wait time until dinner. Good call ladies!

Our wedding is in Sept and our ceremony is at 4pm. We wanted a late reception.

Our ceremony is scheduled to start 4:00pm

I'm the type of person who freezes, but I got my mother-in-law to knit me a scarf with sleeves for the wedding, it's perfect for the fall weddings.

Honestly because we got married later in the evening it worked out nice, cool breeze but otherwise, during the day I totally get it, August can be brutally hot not to mention humid - so not ideal for make up and hair.

Sounds like a lovely time!

Hahaha I wanted August but he did not want to sweat like a pig at the wedding.

Ceremony at 2:30…champagne and crudities by 3pm, lawn games from 3-5, fire up the BBQ at 5, eating dinner by 6, dessert at 7, dancing til 10, goodbye and nitey nite 😂

View quoted message We are. I’m hoping it’ll be short so we can join our guests during cocktail hour.

View quoted message

Thank you!! We are very excited!! Can't believe there is only 43 days to go!!

View quoted message

Sounds smart that you guys are leaving yourselves enough time - it's nice to have photos from the day and it can be so easy to miss because everyone is running around and/or there is not enough time.

Love that, beautiful time of year to get married!

View quoted message

That will work out nicely!

View quoted message

4pm is nice, close to cocktail hour and dinner, does not leave guests waiting too long. Are you guys doing photos after the ceremony?

View quoted message

Yay an evening ceremony, love that! Summer evenings can be the nicest Also love that it's your birthday...we got married on my husbands birthday, it was like double the celebration is how I looked at it haha.

View quoted message

Haha I hear you! I wanted an easy breezy morning as well as I like to wake up and take my time.

View quoted message

Great thinking! 4pm seems to be popular time as well.

View quoted message

Sounds like a beautiful day If we did not pick August, I would have gone with September.

View quoted message

Love that you thought of that! Honestly it helps with the flow as well I feel like after the ceremony people are ready to let loose and mingle! Also September is such a beautiful month you can lucky with the perfect day, not too hot not too cold.

That sounds nice!

My ceremony is at 1:00 but we put 12:30 on the invitation. We wanted to have time and not rush taking pictures since we both have big families( each have over 20) and a huge bridal party( 16 in total). We wanted to also do a first look before the ceremony at 5:30
