Has it always been your dream to arrive at the church in a horse and carriage on your wedding day? Or maybe you see yourself squeezing yourself and your wedding dress into a fancy sports car to get you to the wedding on time whilst taking your breathe away? Well, now is your moment!

The journey to your wedding ceremony will most likely be one of the most emotional moments you will ever encounter, with the ride to your reception afterwards being one of the happiest, so it is important to do it in comfort and style.

As tradition goes it is the bride’s mother responsibility to arrange the wedding transport. This will be for yourself and whomever is giving you away, the bridesmaids, herself and any younger attendants who will travel after you. The other members of the wedding party will make their own arrangements to get to the venue.

So how will you travel? A classic car or vintage motor such as a Rolls Royce, Daimler, or Bentley is an elegant and sophisticated way to arrive. Alternatively you may prefer a more modern luxury vehicle such as a glam stretch limousine or maybe a 1950’s American pink Cadillac. If you’re both petrolheads then why not consider hiring some hot wheels for the day such as an Aston Martin, Ferrari or Lamborghini. For something slightly more quirky how about a VW Beetle or Campervan, a Morris Minor or a matching pair of Mini Coopers (and see if you can both resist saying “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”).

A horse and carriage is incredibly romantic and ideal for a country wedding where there are no busy roads. Indulge the fantasy of your fairy tale wedding you envisaged as a little girl. Alternatively if you live close to the ceremony location then why not walk there! Just make sure who have a VERY large umbrella just in case. With everyone stopping to look and give you their well wishes you will feel like royalty!

A London Cab in white works for some brides as the extra room is ideal to accommodate your bridesmaids too! It’s an inexpensive, practical yet stylish way to arrive at your wedding location.

If you really want to do something a bit different and your venue is some distance then a helicopter flight could be an option. Do ensure you have acquired permission for it to land at the venue though! And it’s probably not ideal if you’re worried about getting your wedding dress crumpled or you’re a tad nervous about flying!

There are some companies that hire out the classic red routemaster London buses. These or a coach are ideal if you are looking to transport your guests as well. A vintage motorcycle and side car, a boat (be it a rowing boat or a yacht) and even a hot air balloon are other options. Although you might want to consider just how accommodating they will be with your wedding gown!

If you’re looking to save money or you’re on a smaller budget then you could always use a family or friend’s vehicle and ask them to chauffeur you there. You can still arrive in style after it’s been given a good valet and had some pretty coordinating ribbons wrapped around it. This can be tricky on some cars, so ensure the person responsible has some practice first! Of course if you’re passionate about your own car you can always use that.

Wedding transport should be in keeping with the rest of the wedding theme. Therefore if you have a sophisticated day planned then arriving in a battered old car is not appropriate. Discuss with your partner what suits your personalities and would fit in well with the overall theme of your wedding. You will also need to think about how you will get to the reception, if this is being held at a different location after the ceremony. The bride and groom will travel together followed by the Best Man, bridesmaids and your younger attendants and both sets of parents. Your ushers are responsible for making sure that all the guests have adequate transport to get to your reception and should be the last ones to leave. Many transport suppliers hire their cars out for 2-3 hours. This allows sufficient time to have photographs taken with the vehicle and a 15 minute or so chauffeured drive, even if the ceremony and reception is held at the same venue. This gives you the perfect chance to enjoy some time alone and reflect on your day together so far as husband and wife.
