An elegant wedding car makes it possible to create a stylish and sophisticated entrance to and from your wedding venue. Beyond the great look of the wedding car, they are also appreciated for offering a convenient form of transportation that will make sure you arrive at the venue on time. Let’s take a look at the main things involved in organising the perfect transportation:
Make the right choice
The actual process of choosing your wedding car can be quite daunting because there are many different things that need to be carefully considered.
Theme – Firstly, the chosen vehicle should be able to match the theme of the wedding to make sure it doesn’t look out-of-place. The preferred car model can include the modern, modern classic, classic and vintage. Every car will have its charm, but it is still important to base your decision on the all-round theme of the wedding. Also, it is necessary to consider the colour of the vehicle, as well as the decorations, such as the flowers and ribbons.
Size – the preferred size of the wedding car will relate to factors like the number of passengers and the type of bridal dress. It the bride is wearing a big or long dress, it is essential to make sure there is enough interior space. Additionally, it is worth considering the comfort level, especially if travelling for the longer distance.
Maintenance – make sure to only use a service that regularly maintains and services their fleet of vehicles. This will help to avoid the disappointment of a breakdown on the way to the wedding venue.
Budget – the cost of booking the chosen car will depend on a variety of factors. The cost is influenced by factors like the type and class, time of year, and extra packages ordered. Also, the overall distance to reach the wedding venue and reception will have an impact on the total cost.
How to book?
The process of booking your wedding car isn’t something that can be left until the last-minute because there are many things that need your attention.
Cars available – any decent company will have a decent size fleet of vehicles to choose from. It can help to see the various cars in person to avoid any disappointment at a later date. Also, if you do make the arrangements in person, this may make to easier to specify your needs to make sure you are getting what you really want.
Early booking – ideally, the wedding car should be booked as early as possible. For the busy summer period, the can be as early as six months before the date of the wedding. Also, the early booking is important when looking to book the vintage car because there is a limited supply of these vehicles. There is likely to be more flexibility if you intend to book a standard limousine, Mercedes or town car.
Weather – the chosen car should match the expected weather for the time of the year. While it can be tempting to book a convertible there is the risk of unexpected showers on the day, or gusty winds that will ruin the bride’s hairstyle. A soft-top convertible can make a practical compromise to minimize the potential issues.
Overall, it is essential to use a company that is well established, very reliable and offers the affordable prices. If you take the time to do your due diligence on the available options, you shouldn’t have too much difficulty finding a wedding car that matches the specific needs.
