Few images signify a wedding like the car in which the bride and groom leave the church. This is the first journey the couple will make as man and wife and has become an important tradition of the grand occasion.
The tradition of decorating the vehicle can be traced back to the days long before the combustion engine when the villagers would adorn the conjugal bed with flowers and ribbons, each with their own meaning, but usually with reference to fertility. Today, there are many options open to the marrying couple, from the old-world prestige of a horse-drawn carriage, to any number of contemporary luxury vehicles, to the charm of a classic sports car.
Certain locational practicalities may preclude the use of some vehicles. A classic sports car may not cope with a certain type of rural terrain. Depending on the guests and the preferences of the parties, more than a single car may be required to convey principal guests.
Whatever your transportation needs, the vehicle or vehicles should be booked well before the event to ensure you get what you’re looking for. It’s also good to keep in mind that costs vary considerably depending on the type of vehicle and the terms of usage. The longer you require the car, the more it will cost.
