make sure they work together as a group – either because they are
all the same model or maybe the same colour or same genre of
car. You can make a really interesting “entrance” to your reception
venue along with your wedding party if you choose to rent a fleet
of cars for the wedding day.
CLASSIC CAR
The classic Rolls-Royce limo is a staple on wedding days. Countless
photos have been taken with brides in the backseats of white 1930s
Rolls-Royce limos. But what about other classic cars? Why not
look at renting a ‘60s T-Bird or even a Ford Model T? If you have
a wedding theme (perhaps your décor and colours are from the
‘40s or ‘50s) consider renting a vehicle from that era. Classic Rolls
aren’t the only antique vehicles available for rent. Try to find a car
that truly matches each of your personalities. That might seem
difficult at first, but take the time to visit rental places and look at
the cars, sit in them and really get a feel for them. Every detail of
your wedding day matters, and the car you pull up in should not
be overlooked.
TWO-WHEELED RIDE
For the more adventurous brides and grooms out there, a twowheeled entrance to your reception might be in order. Motorcylces,
scooters or Vespas are a great alternative to limos and cars. True,
they’re only good for two, but as the newlyweds, you two should
be on your own anyway. Vespas are classic and romantic and make
for great photos. Just be sure to put a helmet on before you speed
off, and try to practice driving your two-wheeled ride before the
big day if you’ve never driven one before.
EXOTIC LIMO
If you absolutely must rent a limo, consider finding one that’s just
a bit different than the norm. Pink limos are all the rage now, and if
pink is your wedding colour (and the groom agrees) you’ll definitely
be able to find a rose-coloured limo option to rent in your area.
Party bus limos complete with jukeboxes and sometimes even
hot tubs are also available across Canada, and for longer journeys
to and from the church and venue, they make the ideal wedding
transportation vehicles. If you lived in the UK, you’d be able to rent
the only stretch Ferrari Modena limousine. But if you’re limited to
Canada and the US, consider looking for the MINI Cooper LX limo
(a stretch Cooper complete with a hot tub in the boot), which is
making its way across Canada and the US on tour.
Your wedding transportation should not be overlooked as a trivial
part of your wedding day. Instead, make it an integral part of the
whole event. Your transportation isn’t just for getting you from the
church to the reception and then off to bed that night (or to a
plane for your honeymoon if that’s the case), it’s also a great prop
for wedding photos and a way for you to enjoy time alone with your
partner after you’ve said your “I dos.” There are countless options
out there, and really nothing is off-limits. If you’ve dreamt it, it can
probably be done. So, dream away and make sure you get yourself
to the church on time and in style.
