Planning wedding transportation for some brides and grooms is quite simple; just rent a couple of white limos! However, for more contemporary couples, a limo may seem too traditional, boring or over done.
One thing to consider is whether you want to worry about transporting just you and a small wedding party, or everyone that is invited. Most couples only worry about the wedding party, however, some couples need to consider transportation for their guests as well. If your ceremony and reception are in completely different places, or are just across the way in a large country club or estate, for example, consider offering shuttle buses or rented golf carts for your guests. This will be a great way to relieve the strain of walking on elderly guests, children or those who cannot walk for long distances.
There are a number of classy and daring ways to make an entrance on your big day. Here are just a few ways to spice up your wedding transportation:
1) Larger than life limos: Rent a Hummer or Expedition sized limo so that you and your party guests have plenty of room to stretch and rule the road in.
2) Equestrian: If you are at an appropriate location, you can enter your wedding on horseback or make a beautiful horse drawn carriage your getaway car. If you are getting married in a snowy, winter scene, consider a sleigh.
3) Taxi!: If you live in a big city and just want to have fun, consider taking a taxi to your ceremony. It’s fast, relatively inexpensive, and readily available!
4) Party Bus: Got a large crew of people to get to your nuptials? Consider renting a party bus! Have fun on the way to and from your wedding with their television sets and comfortable seating.
5) By boat: If you are getting married by the sea or by water, make a dramatic entrance by arriving on a beautiful ship.
6) By air: For the couple that wants to pull out all the stops, arrive to your wedding by air. Helicopters and air balloons will make a very interesting and dramatic entrance.
7) Special car: Whether it’s a limited edition sports car or an elegant classical car, consider using a special rental car for just you and your partner on your special day.
If you are on a tight budget, consider just driving your own vehicles to and from your wedding, and use the back entrance. As long as you can safely get your wedding party where they need to be without ruining hair, makeup or clothing, that’s all that really matters for wedding transportation. While arriving in a limo is considered to be the traditional way to go, there are many ways to make your wedding day even more special by considering alternative transportation ideas. Just remember to consider your guests and your wedding party and make sure that everyone has a safe and reliable way to arrive on your wedding day.
