Wedding Transportation
Stylish and elegant wedding transportation
Although arriving of a bride and a groom to the wedding in a long and beautiful white limo is a very elegant choice, we can give you more ideas how to have a swank wedding transportation.
Therefore, you want to come to your wedding with style. This is a perfect opportunity to express yourself and your lifestyle. Many companies work in this area of wedding organizations and they can provide you the best services you need.
If you want to have an original transport, we have several ideas for you. Since it is not a costume for the bride and the groom to come together to their wedding, you can come by car. However, when the wedding party is over, you should give your guests something they will always be glad to remember.
Now is the right moment to be creative. If you are not having your wedding in some urban center, very classy and elegant solution for your wedding transport is a horse-drawn carriage. This way, you will make your bride feeling like in a Cinderella story and provide some memorable moments for your nearest and dearest. In addition, your bride can put in the horse- drawn vehicle several things you will need for your first wedding night.
If two of you are adventurous persons, you can use a motor bike for your sweet escape from wedding. Harley Davidson is a great choice for those who are brave enough, but if you aren抰, a Vespa will do. If you and your darling are a nature loving couple, riding from your wedding on a horse or on a bicycle for two will be a real surprise for guests.
If you prefer exotic places, wedding in Venice or on a boat can be very fancy and stylish. In Venice, after a wedding ceremony and a cocktail in some Italian restaurant, you can have your sweet escape via gondola through a Venetian canal.
Still, white limo is a very popular choice. However, if you want to be different, choose the limo in some other color, like black. Black is always extremely modern and elegant choice. If you think that the limo is too usual option, try with a sports car. Lexus coupes, Saab convertibles, etc are very classy and fancy options.
Tips for wedding transportation, trends and costs
Wedding transportation is an important thing when you are organizing your wedding. All couples want their wedding day to be perfect, so while your bride to be is dealing with finding her ideal wedding dress and choosing wedding invitations, you start thinking about transportation.
When you are picking the wedding transportation, choose something that can reflect your style and personality. Ask your friends who are married for recommendations or you can ask a reception-hall manager to give you phone numbers of local limo companies.
Call companies and see what they can offer you. Then compare prices and offers. Standard cost per hour is between $50 and $150 and a tip for a driver is approximately 15 to 20 percent. Now, some limo companies are offering you a wedding package, in order to make your arrival more elegant and fancy.
They can provide you a movie star treatment, including the red carpet moment, where the driver drives a limo over a red carpet. Wedding package includes also a champagne toast and lasts about 3 hours. If you want a swank wedding transportation, you should reserve the car at least six months before the wedding day.
