MOST OF US HAVE FANTASISED ABOUT OUR DREAM WEDDING FROM A YOUNG AGE, VISUALISING OUR IDEAL LOCATION, WEDDING DRESS, RECEPTION, HONEYMOON… THE LIST IS ENDLESS. HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING THE REAL THING, IT CAN BE STRESSFUL, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE DETAILS THAT DIDN’T CONCERN YOU BEFORE ARE NOW KEY DECISIONS YOU CAN’T MAKE YOUR MIND UP ABOUT. ALTHOUGH CHOOSING TRANSPORTATION FOR THE DAY MAY NOT BE YOUR TOP PRIORITY, HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A WEDDING CAR THAT IS PERFECT FOR THE BOTH OF YOU.

Keep Your Wedding Theme in Mind

Choose a wedding car that is suited to the theme of your wedding. Is your wedding more traditional, or contemporary? Is there a basic colour scheme to follow? A modern super car portrays a fast paced, flashy theme to your wedding, whereas a classic car such as a Rolls Royce or Bentley may be more suited to your traditional day. The Rolls Royce Phantom II provides luxury transportation and is available with a sophisticated black finish to complement the elegant theme of your wedding, or in a pure white finish for a traditional white wedding.

Stick to a Budget

The budget for your wedding is always the major deciding factor when making decisions for your big day. Saving money in from some areas of your wedding allows for bigger spending for more important aspects of your big day. The more money you set aside for wedding day transportation, the wider the choice of models of various cars will be available to you. Spending more money on transportation will also mean access to additional features and highlights such as a chauffeur service or complementary bottle of champagne, making for a more memorable experience. If you are planning on setting aside a small part of your budget for transportation, research the more affordable options available to you or perhaps see if friends and family have a potential car you could use and decorate yourself.

Choose the Right Company for You

When deciding on anything for your wedding day it is important to work with and purchase from companies you’re comfortable and trust working with to ensure your special day is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. When choosing a transportation company make sure you have done your research, read the contract, and check they are going to deliver the service you have specified.

Wedding Dress Friendly

The wedding car also must be chosen in respect of the bride’s wedding dress. A larger framed dress with a long train or excess material will require a suitably sized car to ensure comfort and a relaxing ride. The Range Rover Sport although not a classical wedding car choice provides a show-stopping impression with spacious interior and ample room for the largest of wedding dresses.

Occupancy

Another important aspect of choosing a wedding car is ensuring you consider who will be travelling with the bride to the wedding. The mother of the bride and bridal party will need to travel to the venue as well as the groom and his party. If you decide you would like everyone to travel in style, then the number of cars you’ll need to hire will to be decided upon. It’s also worth considering if you’ll want matching wedding cars for all parties arriving at the venue.

Weather Appropriate

A logical decision should be made when choosing your wedding car according to the expected weather at the time of your wedding, even though British weather is pretty much unpredictable all year round. If your wedding is in the winter months there is no point in spending money on unnecessary features such as a soft-top convertible. Likewise choosing a convertible in the summer months may also be not be the most practical decision risking ruining your hairstyle in the wind.
