Should the BRIDE be last?

Yes AND No! For the LONGEST time I used to put the bride last in the line up but you know what that caused?!!? Stressed Out Brides!

Does that mean that you can have your bridal party finish time AFTER your finish time - NO! Who is going to be helping you in your dress for photos if no one else is ready?

WHY shouldn’t the bride be last?

So many things are going on the wedding day that you don’t want to miss and many of those things happen right as we are finishing up. I get told all the time that “I want my look to be “fresh” “ - GIRL… if it doesn’t stay fresh looking bc I did it an hour earlier I’m not doing my job. srsly.

I like to have the bride prepped in the middle of the party with MOST of the service done before the end. Then I am going to STARE AT YOU to make sure that everything looks good as you move around the room. Then at the end, once your photographer has arrived, you’ll sit back in my chair and we will complete your look and do final touches.

Does this mean that you can have different finish times for you and the party?

NOPE. They need to be done when you are completely done - your mom, sister, bestie, ride or die needs to be done to help you in the dress. It is also incredibly awkward for anyone to be starting services after the photographer arrives - this person always feels late and in the way. Don’t do that to someone unless you hate them.
