Wedding Transport
Wedding Transport is something that needs to be considered before thinking about booking anything. What type, how many people you are transporting etc. are all things that need to be taken into consideration. If you are just looking to book a bridal car and have the other guests such as parents and grandparents transport themselves then if you are on a tight budget you may be able to afford a chauffeured limousine. If you do need transport for all close family and attendants then a chauffeured town car may be more suitable.
You then have to think about the time duration that you require the transport for, whether it will just be to get the bride to the church or whether you will require it for transporting people to the reception venue. If you are hiring wedding transport on a budget then it would be sensible to just hire one limousine for the bride and her bridesmaids and another or a town car to transport the groom and best man.
There are many different types of wedding car to choose from, a royals Royce is another popular favourite along with the limousine. If you will be choosing the traditional yet less frequently used methods of transport then things like a horse and carriage usually appear as a popular choice. This usually works well when having a real traditional fairytale wedding theme as when the bride arrives by horse and carriage it ties into the whole ‘Cinderella’ story and a bride will get to feel like a real Disney princess for her big day. There are many companies all over the country that offer a horse and carriage service. The best thing to do if you want to hire one is look on the internet around your area or look in your local paper or business directory.
It seems to be getting more and more fashionable at the moment to use low-carbon, eco wedding transport. This more natural method of transportation includes such things as a horse and carriage (as previously mentioned), also pedal-powered rickshaws and tandems. If again you have the issue of transporting guests to and from the wedding venues then the more eco friendly wedding transport hire companies will recommend things like an old double-decker London bus. Wedding bus hire is available from http://www.thebigredbus.com/weddings.html. A vintage coach or a farm cart decorated to your wedding theme preferences, pulled by heavy duty horses. Again, these sorts of services can be accessed anywhere in the country using the above methods that have been mentioned.
Less traditional methods of wedding transport include helicopters, canoes, hot air balloons, tractors,
JCB, camper van or even a donkey! All of these methods are sure to make a big impression on your wedding day and it will be a unique experience that neither you or your guests will forget. For many people, hiring a helicopter is not an option due to the expense, however if you are fortunate enough where money is not an issue and you have your heart set on arriving at your wedding ceremony by helicopter then it is certainly a stylish option and may tie in with many types of themes including ‘James Bond’ or any ‘Celebrity’ theme. The same can be said for arriving in a hot air balloon, however this is slightly less common and again the expense will be a large consideration.
JCB or camper van hiring are slightly more realistic in terms of the majority of peoples budgets however they are a very acquired taste and only certain wedding themes will tie in with the bride turning up on a tractor or JCB!
Wedding transport abroad
If you are travelling to a foreign destination to get married then the transport will probably be included with whichever wedding package you have bought. Most people will be getting married on the grounds of the hotel or resort that they are staying at so there will be no need at all for wedding transport. Some packages, if getting married on a beach resort, may include taking the bride to the ceremony location by boat or canoe. Some may offer extras such as arriving by camel or even in a hot air balloon and some may even be carried to the location by local tribes men.
So when you are organising your wedding transport, you should keep it in mind the different options available to you. If you want a traditional wedding with the transport also of a traditional nature then it is recommended that you pick the classic car, either a Royals Royce or a limousine. If you are after the classic fairytale wedding then arriving by horse and carriage must be the most fitting option on travel. If you are after something a little different and have the funds then why not try arriving by helicopter or hot air balloon. If you are eco friendly and concerned about keeping things natural and carbon free then bicycles and horse and carts seem the best option.
