If your wedding ceremony and reception are being held in two separate venues, you've likely considered how to transport the wedding party and guests from one location to the other. Additionally, you may have thought about how loved ones will arrive to the wedding venue from the hotel, or how you and your groom will dramatically exit the reception.
Shuttles, classic cars, and limos are widely used for transportation at wedding events, though there are plenty of other ideas couples can consider. Why drive away in a getaway car when you can sail off in a wooden boat decorated with a "Just Married" sign? If you want your celebration to ooze small-town charm, invite guests to hop aboard a classic trolley. Or if your wedding has a winter wonderland theme in a snowy destination, transport loved ones from one venue to another by way of a horse-drawn sleigh. The point is – the options are endless and it is possible to highlight the wedding theme with your choice of transportation.
Take a look at the inspiring transportation methods used by real brides and grooms, below. Have you been to a wedding where the transportation was just as interesting as the décor? Let us know in the comments!
