This is a model itinerary based on an afternoon wedding. In Barbados, most ceremonies are either in the morning around 9.00 a.m. or afternoon between 3 and 4.00 p.m. depending on the time of year controlling the point at which the sun goes down. Generally 3.00 p.m. is best around September to January; 4.00 p.m. or even 5.00 p.m. works from february to August. Due to our daylight structure this allows for maximum lighting for daylight photos as well as for the more atmospheric evening shots. |

You can adjust the timing of these activities either way according to your particular schedule and occasion, whilst still retaining strategy and structure.

- 6.30 a.m. – 7.00 a.m.: Wake up and have your bath/shower.
- 8.00 a.m.: Enjoy breakfast. It is essential that you take your time and do not rush. It is not a good idea to get flustered at this point and you want to make sure you are well sustained to face the day.
- 9.00 a.m. – 11.00a.m.: Bride, begin your preparations, have your hair and make-up done. Groom, proceed with any last minute personal needs you may have.
- 11.00a.m. – 12.00 p.m.: The photographer will take pre-wed photos of the bride in the bride’s room or hover between the bride and groom for photos if the couple so wish.
- 1.00 p.m.: Distribute and accessorise with all personal flower adornments, boutonnières, bouquets, corsages etc.
- 2.00 p.m.: Enter the limousine or “other” transportation and proceed to your wedding.
- 3.00 p.m.: The ceremony.
- 4.00 p.m.: Take photos.
