How to Hire a Wedding Car in Melbourne

By Robert Manevski


Transport Style. Above all wedding transport should match the style of your wedding. Think about how odd it would look if you arrived in a modern, stretch limousine for a medieval wedding. For old-fashioned, romantic weddings why not hire a horse-drawn carriage?

Size of the Bridal Party. Traditionally three wedding cars are needed to transport the bridal party to the ceremony. The bride travels with her father in one wedding car, the mother-of-the-bride and the bridesmaids in another and the groom and his groomsmen in the third. If you're doing it this way you'll need to ensure that the hire company has matching wedding cars, as many do not. However, if you're more concerned with minimizing costs, consider hiring a limousine and have the bridal party journey together.

Consider the Weather. If you're having a summer wedding ensure that your wedding cars have airconditioning. There's nothing worse than sweltering in a hot car with your makeup running down your face. Alternatively, in case of inclement weather, ensure that the wedding car is heated and comes equipped with umbrellas.

Wedding Cars and Color. Although white is the most popular wedding car colour, coordinating your wedding transport to the colour theme of the wedding will also help to create impact. If your bridesmaids are wearing pink or if you have pink flowers in your bouquet, why not hire a pink Cadillac? They look great in wedding photographs, especially against a rose garden backdrop.

The Dresscode. The arrival of a well-dressed bridal party will be marred if the chauffeur is raggedly attired. Some chauffeurs wear not only a suit and tie but cap and gloves too, whilst other drivers think jeans and a jumper will do. You can't dictate exactly what they should wear but you can request that they be smartly dressed.
