Hi Ella and Dylan:

Based on our discussion last night, I put together a revised Timeline. I feel it's tight for Ella to get into her dress and then get to the venue for 2:00 photos. I think even moving it to 2:15 is still tight.. I don't know where Dylan is getting dressed or how long it will take him to get to the venue.

Take a look at it and let me know what you think. It takes longer than you think.

~~

PROPOSED TIMELINE:

8:00-1:30 pm Hair & Makeup at the Bride's house in Locust Point

1;00 - Dylan and his guys gets dressed

1:00 - Coordinators arrive at AVAM

1:20- Girls will get into their dresses after their hair and makeup is finished (each one should get dressed and be dressed by the time Ella is getting into her gown. She should be the focus at that time.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*I FEEL THIS IS VERY A VERY TIGHT SCHEDULE!

1:30 - Depart from their getting location and head for AVAM (this is estimated)

1:30 - Ella gets into her traditional hindu garments (maybe you could take this to the board room and get dressed there?)

1:50 - Ella and her girls head to AVAM - go to JVRC building and hide out in the Board Room

* I suggest doing photos from 2;15 to 3;15 - photographer can have you down close to the JVRC buiding in case there are early arrivals and some photos could be taken on the 1st floor
