Hiring Wedding Cars
April 18, 2007
Hiring a wedding car is a fantastic way to make a splash on your big day. Whether you fancy a vintage Rolls Royce or a striking modern Jaguar, a chauffeured limousine or a self-drive Mustang, you’ll arrive in style and give your guests a memory they’ll never forget.
Hiring several cars for a wedding is customary. For the arrival at the church, one car carries the bride and her father. The wedding party and groom arrive in another car (or cars), as do immediate family members. After the ceremony, it is the bride and groom who depart together for the reception, followed by the wedding party and the family.
Chauffeured limousines are one of the most popular options in wedding cars. Many companies offer special rates for multiple cars. Complete packages often include champagne and snacks, white satin ribbons to decorate the cars, and even a red carpet to roll out.
Vintage cars also make a wonderful and romantic impression at a wedding. Just picture the heads turning when you roar up to the church in a fully restored, cherry-red 1960s Mustang! Or perhaps a 1930s ivory Beauford convertible is the wedding car of your dreams, with its gleaming silver trim, leather interior, and glowing, polished woodwork.
For a more contemporary look, many couples choose a modern luxury car. A sleek Mercedes-Benz or an elegant Chrysler 300C is an impressive and glamorous car to hire for a wedding. For an offbeat, dynamic wedding car, some couples even decide on a Hummer!
A photo shoot is often part of the fun when you hire a wedding car. The bride and groom may be photographed against famous scenic backgrounds or in lush outdoor settings. What could be a better memory than a snapshot of you and your new partner, poised to make your getaway in a stylish wedding car. Classic colours for wedding cars include silver, ivory, charcoal, and black. For a bolder look, you might choose a stunning sapphire, rich turquoise, or another colour that complements the wedding party’s wardrobe or matches the theme of the reception.
For those hopeless romantics out there, your fairytale wedding car may not be a wedding car at all, but an antique horse-drawn carriage. Bedecked with fine livery, drawn by a pair of matching horses, and guided by your own private driver, a horse-drawn carriage can add that dream-come-true feeling to your special day.
With so many options available, you’re sure to find the perfect wedding car to hire. From the moment you pull up to the church to your joyous departure from the reception, the right car makes your wedding complete!
