Wedding Day Transportation - Arriving in Style
After about a year of planning for your wedding, you and your
fiancé have most of the major components finalized...the
catering, wedding flowers, decorations, guest favors,
photography, etc.
One of the "finishing touches" in the wedding plan is
transportation. How you arrive at the wedding and depart from
the ceremony and reception is a large part of the wedding day
celebration. Many couples choose to travel directly to the hotel
after the wedding reception or to an airport to fly off to a
distant resort. The best weddings involve creativity, unique
style and planning on the part of the couple, and transportation
is no exception.
Of all the types of wedding transportation available, a limousine
service is one of the most popular and is a classic symbol of
luxury. Most limousine services are very flexible and can offer
a chauffeur for the entire day, or just an hour or two. The
choice depends on what your wedding day involves. White
limousines are the most formal type, and although the standard
seating is 4-6, many can hold up to 12 people at a time. Of
course, in addition to a limousine, other cars can also be used
for
the transporting of the wedding party or family members.
Many traditions call for the bride to ride with the father to
the church. Of course, the remaining parents and
guests/attendants would follow. How you choose to create your
wedding experience is up to you and your loved one. Here are
some quick tips to help make your bridal experience with your
loved one a romantic and memorable one.
Do some research on any prospective service to make sure it
follows the correct guidelines, and always write a contract.
Inquire whether the service is part of the National Limousine
Association (www.limo.org). More information about limousine
service vehicle guidelines can be found there.
Are you able to decorate the vehicle? According to tradition,
the groomsmen do the decorating. Of course, many wedding vehicle
decorating involves the bridesmaids, brides, parents of the
bride and others. Remember that good etiquette usually calls for
a driver gratuity.
