Traditionally, the groomsmen have fun decorating the getaway car during the reception as a final surprise to the bride and groom. In the past, soap or shaving cream was used to write "Just Married" and the back window. Old shoes were tied to the back bumper because leather was thought to ward off evil spirits, and would keep the young couple safe. Sometimes tin cans were also tied to the back of the car, to make noise and call attention to the happy newlyweds.

Now, more couples are renting limousines and are aware that shaving cream might damage the paint and rental companies discourage tying anything to the car. There are many other alternatives now available that won't harm the car in any way. Many online companies offer creatively printed banners such as "Together Forever", "Just Married", and "We've Tied the Knot" printed in white on clear static vinyl. Just peel and cling to the windows or auto body.

Flowers, both fresh and silk, are perhaps the most popular decorations. Silk flowers will endure the elements better as well as heat from the car. Flower garlands that are purchased from the craft store, are easily attached by tucking the ends under the car's trunk lid.

Giant crepe paper streamer rolls (500 feet), may be purchased to decorate the chapel, reception hall and even the getaway car. Tie some streamers to the antenna, the side-view mirrors, the door handles, and make a big bow for the hood. Use the colors of the wedding and vary the lengths of the streamers. Matching balloons can be tied to the outside of the car or used to fill in the inside. The bride and groom will want to take lots of pictures of the "Just Married" car, as well as those who lovingly decorated it.

After joyously celebrating the news that my brother was finally marrying his girlfriend the fundamentals of organising a wedding came apparent. My brother would be getting married in Sidcup, so almost immediately I started to look at wedding cars in the local area. Over a pint however in a local Sidcup pub, my brother and I started to think of original choices for wedding cars that could be a great idea for his special day. Our findings were somewhat diverse.

Naturally there is a number of wedding car companies in Sidcup that have a wide variety of classic cars on offer. Rolls Royce car, Bentleys and Jaguars are usually the first choice for many couples. Ultimately they make an elegant solution to your wedding day travel needs. Their large size is also ideal, allowing you to travel in comfort ad style. This past wisdom is changing however; a large number of couples are now finding wedding cars that have their own unique appeal and charm.

If you are not overly bothered by looking at large cars there are smaller vehicles that have a certain distinct flavour about them. Some may want to consider using a Morris Minor or the Volkswagen Beetle. While they may be a great deal smaller than the regular choice of wedding cars, there are a number of companies in Sidcup that supply them. The Beetle is naturally a popular car due to its lovable styling and the bold character; the relationship to 'Herbie' is also a powerful lure. The Morris is the quintessential English car and even comes in a soft top model for those marrying on a sunny day.

Some however will definitely want to hire larger wedding cars; thankfully Sidcup has a number of companies that supply American classics for happy couples. This way it is possible to make an original choice without having to compromise on size. A classic in this genre is the pink Cadillac, although pink may not be to everyone's taste. Thankfully they come in more than one colour.

Military vehicles have seemingly become popular and while you may not be able to find one in Sidcup, if you go a little further a field it is possible to find some unique wedding cars, although cars may not be the way to describe them. One of the military options is the Hummer all terrain vehicle, these even come in stretch models if you do not want to compromise on luxury. For those who want to take the military theme of their wedding to the extreme it is now possible to hire a tank for your special day; this can hardly be described as romantic but each to their own.

One car that has a gargantuan global fan base is the Volkswagen campervan. Understandably those who have a penchant for this type of vehicle may want to choose one for heir wedding day; it could even be possible to head straight on your honeymoon with this type of vehicle.

Although you may not find this type of company in Sidcup, there are a few businesses sprouting up that supply cars from movies and television for wedding days. These are more likely to appeal to the groom but should be a consideration nonetheless. With choices such as the renowned black Trans Am from Knightrider or the Delorean from Back to the Future, if you are looking for a theme to your wedding, these choices could be the ideal solution.

While these choices may be original and unique, as I discussed them with my brother it became apparent that while he may be swayed by the Delorean or a Hummer, his fiance will certainly not be as easily convinced. After all, unless he could convince her of the value of a unique wedding car it is more likely that he would follow the traditional course. But my advice to anyone who is planning a wedding is to at least look into these original choices; they may make your wedding day that bit more special.

Wedding cars from the 1930s to the 1960s are the most sought after and also fairly rare in good condition. But because of their age and the distance they have to travel, they need an enormous amount of maintenance. The specialist repairers are hard to find and any parts need to be made. Years ago weddings were a local affair, but now with more choice of venues on offer, people will travel several miles to find the destination of their dreams. If people want to hire a wedding car, due to distance and the increase in traffic, the wear and tear on the old cars in considerable.

Gone are the days when you were told of a local man who had an old car, usually black or a dark colour, which he would use as a wedding car. You can now book wedding cars on the internet and when searching you will find hundreds to choose from, in all shapes, sizes and colours. But it makes sense to book your wedding cars with a company that has several vehicles in case of an emergency and has been in the wedding car business for many years. A well established company will have the knowledge to advise you of the choices of wedding cars that would suit your needs.

Vintage and Classic Cars

There are two main groups of wedding cars; vintage and classic. The best of the vintage era is of course the Rolls Royce and if you require a car that encapsulates the best of British, then surely this will be your choice. Many of these cars have running boards and wide opening doors for easy entry. But if you like streamlined looking cars them maybe your choice should be from the classic era. Many of these cars have swan neck wings and look sporty. But beware, because of these undoubtedly good looks they have less room inside.

A wedding car of either era will help to make you feel a million dollars and by picking the right company will take a lot of the stress away from you, so pick wisely. A long established company as a wedding car specialist means many years of experience in weddings and wedding car hire services. A company with many vehicles means alternative arrangements can be made in case of an emergency. Reputable companies can also offer you extra services such as chauffeurs in smart uniform, horse drawn carriages and also added luxuries such as a bottle of champagne for your journey.

The right wedding cars can add a touch of magic and class to your special day, infact one of the most special days of your life. The journey to your wedding ceremony is the most significant ride you will ever make.

The wedding car is more than just a means of transporting you to and from the ceremony – after all it will be the last place you gather your thoughts as an excited and beautiful bride to be and the first intimate space you will share as newlyweds.

Selecting a wedding car should be a fun but serious exercise. Visit each prospective car supplier or chauffeur and ask for a test ride. You wouldn’t get married in a dress you’ve never tried on and the same should go for your wedding car!

Check the interior. Is it spacious, will it accommodate the bridal gown (especially important if the dress has an elegant but delicate train), is there plenty of room to egress gracefully? Wear the same size heels as your wedding shoes and practice getting in and out of the car. You want to be poised and elegant on the day, especially as cameras will be documenting your every move! The last few minutes before the ceremony can be a little tense so ensure that the wedding car is comfortable and a relaxing space.

Reliability is obviously essential. When you visit your chauffeur or wedding car specialist pay attention to their premises not just the car. A company or chauffeur that looks after their premises will also look after their car! You don’t want to risk a breakdown on the day do you?

Finally you will want to decide what style and age of car will best compliment your dress and the wedding ceremony itself. You can get a very modern model, something as sleek an elegant as a traditional Rolls Royce or you can opt for a vintage car. It all depends on the theme of your wedding, and of course, your budget. Most wedding car suppliers have several models so don’t restrict you choice.

Traditionally most wedding cars are white but don’t let that dictate your final choice. An elegant cream may best compliment your dress, silver wedding cars are timeless and classical. Lastly, ensure that your chauffeur dresses both himself and the car in a style that compliments the theme of your day! As with every other aspect of planning a wedding, it’s the details that frequently add that final sparkle to your wedding day.

A must for any wedding is to ensure that the right wedding car is selected. After all, even if the rain is pouring and the wind is howling, the perfect wedding car will set the day off and ensure the bride arrives at the church on time, and in style. With such a huge selection of wedding cars available for hire the choice can be daunting, it need not be; as with the right inspiration finding the ideal car for your special day can be simple.

The first choice when selecting a wedding car is to define what you require from the car; no one wants to turn up at the church in a Ford Cortina so getting the style right is paramount. Elegance is a prerequisite to hiring a wedding car and a selection of Rolls Royce, Daimler, Classic Fords and Jaguars are usually available. These cars offer that timeless style and extravagance that only a classic car can bring.

That is not to say that you must go old when considering which wedding car to hire. Modern models give a sleek alternative and for those getting married in the height of summer the air conditioning will offer a welcome sanctuary to the heat. A perfect modern vehicle for use as a wedding car is the Mercedes S Class as it will bring you to the church promptly and in comfort.

Another option when deciding upon a wedding car is limousines. Modern limousines come in a variety of models from Mercedes through to Lincolns; all seat more than your average luxury car and are perfect if you plan to arrive at the church with an entourage. Classic Rolls Royce limousines are always a consideration; surely a Rolls Royce is the symbol of elegance that all aspire to.

Another crucial decision is whether to go open topped or not. Convertible models give the chance for all to see you on your big day; it must be remembered however that if you are spending a fortune on your hair, do you really want the wind to ruin all the stylists' hard work? Also relying upon the British weather is rarely advisable so if going open topped, ensure the wedding car has the capacity to shelter you if the heavens decide to open.

With the variety of colour schemes that accompany today's weddings, your wedding car must also conform to the plan. No longer is white the only colour of choice; deep reds and navy blues offering a startling alternative to the uniform pale creams. Of course ribbons will match and ensure the wedding car fits your plans perfectly. A uniformed driver adds to the grandeur and gives the impression of opulence, even if it is just for one day.

On what should be the most important day of your life the wedding car may seem a trivial matter but this could not be further from the truth. Firstly it has to take the blushing bride to the church and naturally she would like to arrive in style and grace. Secondly and more importantly it takes the happy couple on the first journey they will take as newlyweds.

Many wedding car services will provide champagne in the car ready for the bride and groom to sip as they are taken to the airport, what could be a more romantic beginning to a honeymoon than a leisurely ride in the back of a glamorous car ready to whisk the couple away on an exotic holiday that marks the beginning of their life together. As this is such an important occasion, no minicab will do; it must ferry the newlyweds away from the church in luxury and give them best start to their life together possible. Hence a luxury wedding car is cornerstone of any marriage.

The year was 2005 and my parents were coming up to their milestone 70th wedding anniversary.
The family got together to discuss what we could do to mark this auspicious occassion and the first option we looked at was the age old tradition of using a listed material. Unfortunately, the celebration material for reaching 70 years of wedlock was a disappointing platinum. Not an unpleasant metal in itself but still just a metal.
We discussed a surprise party with a platinum coloured theme. This was rejected as being not so easy or special! In fact, a surprise party hardly seemed like a good idea at all. After 70 years parties are no surprise. We wanted something more tailored to themselves. Something to mark the occassion more memorably was called for so we did a little research.
It turns out that our parents had got married in a beautiful little church in the Scottish countryside. This was not only where they lived for the early part of their marriage but where they both grew up to work at the Rolly Royce factory in Hillington. Whilst looking to hire a wedding car, their boss had kindly lent them the Rolls Royce Limousine Cockshoot.
This gave us an idea of a step back in time theme for their wedding anniversary. We found the church was still functioning and booked a blessing for them. We even booked them a couple of nights in a very old nearby hotel. But we were still looking for something a little more special.
My parents had moved before my siblings and I came along to a town 50 miles away from Hillington and were still there now so we decided to look at special ways of getting them to their blessing. We decided luxury car hire was the way to go and researched wedding cars on the internet. Many choices were available for wedding car hire and we managed to find a 1930 Rolls Royce Limousine Cockshoot in primrose and black. We felt this would be quite special as there are only two originals left in existence.
Things couldn't have gone better. On the day, the wedding car hire company turned up at my parents house to whisk them off to the church. It turned out that this was exactly how they first met! Both of my parent s were working on the very first Cockshoot vehicle ever made when they met. Thanks to the restoration and care the wedding car hire company had paid to this vehicle my parents were able to have a wedding anniversary to remember.
