You will want to make the most stylish entrance possible on your wedding day – after all it’s going to be one of the most meaningful journeys of your life.
You'll also want your transport to reflect the mood of the occasion - from traditional and elegant to eye-catching and unusual, there's sure to be the perfect mode of transport to suit your wedding.
For many, the number one choice remains the fairytale option of a horse-drawn carriage, both spectacular and romantic. Vintage cars also remain popular, and are full of character, providing a great backdrop for photographs. A stretch limousine can add a touch of glamour, and make you feel like a film star as you emerge from the back seat. For a retro feel, a classic American car could be a fun option. Alternatively, a sports car could provide a spectacular entrance, as long as there's room for your dress to fit in!
Or, for a thrilling start to the day, you could arrive by helicopter, but be sure to check your venue has a suitably large area for it to land safely.
When it comes to choosing your transport provider, reliability has to be key. For realistic quotes, make sure you've got the necessary information, including the distance you will be travelling, the times when you need collecting and full postal addresses of where you're travelling to and from. Consider how many cars you'll need and how many journeys they will do.
First of all, you need a car to take the bride to the wedding, and then remember you will join the groom in his chosen transport after the ceremony. Will you need a second car to transport the bridesmaids to the ceremony and to the reception, although they may prefer to use their own cars.
Check if flowers and ribbons are provided with the transport, and if they can match your colour scheme. Ask if there will be an umbrella in case of bad weather, and if champagne will be provided for a celebratory drink between the ceremony and reception.
And the absolute golden rule? Always go to see to vehicle of your choice first hand – you want to be sure it’s everything you’ve dreamed of.
