Planning on traveling to your wedding in style? The stretch limo is an old standby for transporting the entire wedding party, and many a bride and groom has waved goodbye to their reception from the back of a Lincoln Town Car. However, as a Center City wedding photographer, I can tell you that a stylish car makes an amazing wedding detail! Consider going with something slightly more photogenic.
If your groom has a toy that he’s proud of, what better way to use it than during your first look? If your father holds the keys to a vintage car, we’ll get some pictures of him helping you in as you drive to your wedding venue. However, if you don’t have any connections of your own, there are plenty of rental companies that will provide you with a luxury car for the day! Classic cars, exotic cars, vintage models, and sleek sports cars are available to take your wedding transportation to the next level.
There are cars for every wedding aesthetic! Here are a few examples:
Rustic
A rustic wedding creates a big umbrella for details. You can put your own unique spin on it, which is why I think it continues to be so popular! You really can’t pick a wrong car for a rustic wedding.
If you really want to go for the down-home country look, an antique pickup truck would be the perfect thing. Just make sure it’s not so old it doesn’t run! Decorate it with a burlap bunting and throw some hay bales in the back.
Quirky
Love cute details? Picture you and your entire wedding party pulling up to the venue in a fleet of candy-colored Volkswagen Beetles! The vintage models are surprisingly versatile, blending well with any wedding theme.
Vintage-Inspired
A classic car is practically required for a vintage-inspired wedding. Do your research, and pick a model that is era-appropriate. A Model T is emblematic of the 20’s, and perfect if you want a flapper wedding. If your wedding is inspired by the 40s, a Cadillac limousine will bring you right into the era of Guys and Dolls.
Urban Chic
A cool wedding deserves a cool car: a BMW 5-Series, a Chrysler 300, a Ferrari, or a Lamborghini. Look for a sports car with a convertible roof for maximum photo options. Just don’t leave your veil in if you need to get on the highway!
