Where did you get ready for the big day?

My experience at my wedding - I got ready by 5 pm (yes, my makeup took 3 hours) and function started around 9pm. My reasons were that 1. My MUA didn’t have any other time slot. 2.we wanted a photoshoot in day light plus with sun set. Our photoshoot was amazing, got beautiful pictures. However I was exhausted halfway through the function, my dupatta was slipping a bit, my lipstick wore off a bit (had kept it in my purse though) and my face got shiny and needed powder (I have a t zone).my conclusion, never get ready too early. Just give yourself a margin of 30 to 45 minutes max or you’ll be tired, hot and bothered half way through function. You should have just comfortable amount of time to get your make up done (drive to venue, hotel option for make up sounds good) , get your photoshoot done. Have a little break and your function starts.

wow…9pm was the event invite or when you entered? I’m trying to push for a 5:30 time for me to get ready and then 2 hour photoshoot with my entrance at 7:30-8. The makeup artist wants 4pm-4:30 at the latest.

I’m keeping my lipstick with me. I don’t get particularly sweaty (in fact, I get dry and my foundation starts looking flaky) so I’m also deciding what stuff I should make sure I have with me if I DO have to get ready early.
