It is important to have a timeline for your wedding. Remember you have worked hard to have the perfect day and you know what is happening but your guests do not. Plan for your guests to have something to do while waiting for you to have those once in a lifetime pictures, Games, cocktail hour, popcorn bar, music are some ideas and you might want to use them all. At Blueberry Hill we want your wedding to be fun and memorable. An example of a wedding timeline might be.

Remember to have fun and don’t stress the small stuff. Your timeline might not go exactly as scheduled but at least your guests will have an idea of what to expect. Also you need to look at the time of sunset on your wedding day and plan the time of your ceremony so you will have some night pictures.
