It seems like one of the little things that can sneak up on you while you’re planning your wedding is working out the details with your wedding transportation, I know I didn’t finalize mine until about a week before our wedding. And this doesn’t only apply to elderly family members or people who may need special assistance in getting to your wedding. Typically the parents of the bride and groom help with getting people to the ceremony, hotel and reception without trouble, with the maid of honor and best man on the job as well. But the are of wedding transportation that I’m talking about now has to do with transporting the bride and groom to and from the wedding and reception, and the many different ways that you can handle the situation. So here are some great places to get started for the storybook or romantic wedding transportation that can help transform your wedding day into your dream come true.
Renting a Limo for the Whole Day
There is something about riding in a limo that shouts what a special occasion this is. You can rent a limo for the entire day, though that can get a little pricey. If you hire a hairdresser to come to your house and do everyone’s hair, then you can have a nice brunch with the ladies and all get ready together. Then, once everyone is ready to go, climb into the limo for the ride to the church. Then, once your wedding ceremony is over you can either have the limo for the bride and groom only, or include the bridal party for a fun ride over to your reception. Then once your reception is over, you can ride away in the beautiful limo, back to your car.
Renting a Limo for One Trip
This is what I decided to do for our wedding transportation. I arrived at the church early and had someone there to fix the hair and make-up for all of the bridesmaids. Once the wedding ceremony was over, a stretch hummer pulled up into the parking lot of the church, and took us along with the entire bridal party and their spouses over to the reception hall. It was a great and joyful time for all of us to spend together. Plus it made for some great pictures.
Other Wedding Transportation Options
While most couples tend to choose limousines for their wedding transportation, there are others still who dream of a more ’storybook’ way to do their wedding transportation. For example, my sister and her husband left their wedding reception in a beautiful horse drawn carriage. A good friend of mine in college left her wedding reception in an old restored vintage car that they had borrowed/rented. It was a truly classy way to ride. If you’re having a beach wedding, then an exciting method of transportation could be leaving on a boat. So put some time into it and find the best method of wedding transportation for your pocketbook as well as for the itinerary that you have planned.
There are many different ways that the bride and groom can handle their wedding transportation. Some ‘experts’ advise that the limo after the wedding should only hold the bride and groom so that they can enjoy their first minutes of married life together, and others advise that the parents should join them in the limo as well. It seems few others advise that the entire bridal party ride with you in the limo, but I wouldn’t have done ours any other way. I enjoyed getting to spend time with our bridal party in the exciting moments after our wedding.
