There are many ways to arrive at your wedding whether it’s in a Rolls Royce, a horse-drawn carriage or on a horse!
Some factors to consider when choosing your wedding transportation are:
- Availability – if you’re hiring a vehicle this is obviously key to know so you can plan and book ahead
- Self-drive vs. driver hire – some companies will let you hire a car which you drive yourself, others will provide a driver. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a chauffeur all dressed up and playing the part?
- Timing – you may not be using the car all day so make sure you include plans for the photographer to get some good shots, not just when you arrive, but some styled shots too
- Wedding theme – your mode of transportation should fit well with your theme. If it’s a rustic barn wedding then a jeep is perfect but if it’s a country house like Crowcombe Court then perhaps something stylish like a Rolls Royce?
- Your own transportation – if you’re using your own car, jeep, campervan or horse (!) make sure it’s serviced, cleaned and filled with petrol (or fed….) before the big day. You don’t want to break down on the way to the ceremony!
- Time of year – this may be a factor in using a convertible then you’ll want the option to be able to close it if it rains. Riding a motorbike might not be the best idea in winter but you could always have a backup plan.
Here are just a few ideas of fun ways to arrive at your wedding:
Rolls Royce
A Rolls Royce has a luxury British car with quite some history. Whether you prefer a historical Phantom or a more modern version this is definitely a way to arrive in style.
Sports Car
A sports car is another stylish way to arrive at your wedding. It might be hard to get in and out of wearing your beautiful wedding dress but if sporty is your style then go for it! This one was seen at our sister venue, Highley Manor in Sussex.
VW Campervan
So cosy and cute! This VW campervan was seen at Danby Castle, one of our sister venues.
Motorbike
Maybe not the most practical mode of transportation considering what you’re wearing but still a fabulous way to arrive at a wedding!
VW Beetle
VW Beetles are a classic. With the top down you’ll want to try and keep your hairstyle and veil in place! Here is one at our sister venue, Crowcombe Court in Somerset
Land Rover
For a unique experience why not try a Land Rover? This one was seen on the Yorkshire Moors at Danby Castle.
Horse Drawn Carriage
What better way to feel like a princess going to your wedding than in a carriage. You can be assured this carriage won’t turn back into a pumpkin at midnight!
Horse
If you’re a horse lover riding your trusty steed to your wedding makes a perfect partnership!
Summary
Whatever your dream wedding is it will likely have some dream-transport included in it. Whether you go for the Rolls or just arrive in your dad’s car, just be sure to enjoy your magical day!
