From the ever-loved, quirky coloured Volkswagen to the princess-worthy horse and carriage, there now exists a form of wedding transportation for every style of couple out there. It can easily be overlooked or even underestimated for the important role it can play on the day, and not to mention the endless photo opportunities that come with your choice of wheels. You may think it's okay to leave it as one of the very last things to tick off of the list, and that you’ll just give the local car hire company a call a week or two before the wedding. However, while that might work for some brides, a lot of the time overlooking your wedding transport can be a bit disappointing after the day is done. Wouldn’t you much rather be the couple who drove away in a car that was fully personalised and helped take you to that happily ever after, rather than a monotonous black limousine with a stuck on white bow that barely made it to the end of the driveway?
Wedding transport is a factor of your day’s activities that allows endless options of both self-expression and to inject a bit of glamour and fun. You can choose to both arrive and leave in style, and decorate your mode of transport however you wish. Who doesn’t love the popular Volkswagen beetle that shows just how much of an offbeat, quirky couple the two of you are. Or even quirkier yet, you can release your inner hipster and chose to include a classic bicycle, fully adorned and decorated to how you like. Or go classic and glamorous, with a vintage car or a horse drawn carriage. Then you can put your own wedding touch on the transportation, either sticking with the classic 'just married', a rail of tin cans hanging around the bonnet, or a garland of flowers and a happily ever after message. Whatever style you select, you can be sure that the more personal or quirky the form of wedding transport you choose is, the better the wedding photograph.
