A wedding is the biggest day of your life, so you will want to make sure that everything little thing has been planned right down to the last detail. The transportation on your wedding day is extremely important as it will ensure that you are able to get from venue to venue easily and on time. This article provides some top tips on how to go about planning and arranging all of the transportation for your special day.
Route Planning for the Bride and Groom
Start by planning the transportation arrangements for yourself and your partner. You will most likely need to organise a car to collect you from the hotel or venue that you are getting ready in, and then take you to the venue that you are getting married in. The same applies for your partner. If you are holding your wedding reception in a location that is a distance away from your wedding venue then you will also need another car to take you there. After the marriage ceremony you can both travel in one car together. You will need to write down the addresses of the hotels, and venues along with pick-up times and pass them onto the driver prior to the big day. It is worth going over the route plan with the driver several times to ensure that they have everything written down correctly.
A top tip is to avoid walking anywhere outside on your wedding day! Even if it is only a short distance think about the wedding dress and the shoes which can easily get damaged or dirty. Instead hire a car to take you from place to place.
Transportation for Family Members and Bridesmaids
Many bride and grooms like to arrange transportation to safely take their parents to the venue. If you want a special treat for your bridesmaids then you can hire a limo to take them all to the wedding venue together.
Transportation for Wedding Guests
Arranging transportation for your wedding guests depends on whereabouts you are holding your wedding. If the wedding venue is quite some distance away from the wedding reception, and there is limited transportation services available, then you should arrange some form of transportation for your guests. This can include a minibus, a taxi run service or a larger bus. It is also worth including transportation information on your wedding website, such as the numbers of local taxi firms, or the nearest train stations. This will make things a little easier for your guests.
Style of Transportation
Many people choose to go for a classic or vintage car on their wedding day. These types of cars will provide the wow factor, and they will get you around in style and luxury. The style of transportation that you use should complement the overall theme of your wedding. You can search online or look in wedding magazines for some wedding car inspiration. Good luck!
