Choosing a wedding car

Your Wedding Day is your special day and you really want to arrive in style on your wedding day and you will need a stylish wedding car. There are lots of styles of wedding cars to bear in mind, and a few things to consider when choosing the perfect wedding car.

Styles

You can get any type of wedding car from a vintage Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, to a modern sports car. Think about the overall style of your wedding and what type of wedding car would compliment it. If you’re having a traditional wedding an old-fashioned wedding car could suit you down to the ground. If you’re having a themed wedding, your wedding car could be one of the elements that bring everything together to make your special day a very memorable one.

Finding a wedding car

You can look in the Yellow Pages and local paper to see who is advertising wedding cars. Larger companies may have a whole fleet of wedding cars to choose from, where as smaller businesses may just have one or two. Alternatively you can choose one of the professional wedding car companies listed in the wedding guild who have proven themselves within their profession.

Researching wedding cars

When you have chosen some wedding car companies go and look at their cars wedding cars. Sit in the wedding cars and see how they feel. Maybe take a few photos of the wedding cars, and see which one you feel projects the right image for your wedding.

Bear in mind your space requirements. Will there be room for the dress in the back of the wedding car? Consider the door sizes and headroom in the wedding car as well.
Think about what colour you would like your wedding car to be. White is a traditional wedding car colour, but silver or red could add a modern, dramatic touch. If the bride will be wearing a white gown, its best if the car isn’t white as well because everything will just blend together.

Ask about the condition of the wedding car and how regularly it is serviced. Request testimonials from customers who have previously used the wedding car company.
Ask questions about who will be driving the wedding car and what experience they have of chauffeuring for weddings.

Budgeting for a wedding car

Hiring a wedding car will typically set you back between £350 and £450.
Make sure you check what is included in the price of hiring your wedding car. Ask whether the cost includes a chauffeur and wedding insurance.

Ask if the wedding car is booked for anyone else on your wedding day or if it is for your sole use. You want to make sure that the wedding car fits in with your schedule and isn’t going to have to shoot off early.

Tips on choosing a wedding car

Bear in mind that you may need more than one wedding car, depending on the size of your wedding party. If one isn’t included (and you should ask) take a large umbrella in the wedding car in case the heavens open.

Be cautious about hiring an open top wedding car. When you’re sitting in it, it will admittedly look cool, but even on a calm day the journey could ruin your wedding hair. Ask about similar but more practical options if you are interested in an open top wedding car.
