Transport?? for?? Bridesmaids????

George85, 2 August, 2013 at 09:54 Posted on Planning 0 4

Hi again,

Looking for some advice re transport. We have hired a vintage double decker bus to take our guests between the church venue and the evening reception venue, its awesome, i love it. However i will be staying at my house the night before the wedding, my house is literally 5 mins from the church so was just going to book a wedding taxi for me and my dad to take us the 5 minute journey to the church but what do i do about bridesmaids, i kinda feel it is a waste of money to book another really nice wedding car for a 5 minute journey, seeing as i am already on a tight budget.

Is it really wrong to just book them a normal taxi?

Any advice would be great, thanks girls!

xx

    Could you not send them in the car before you and then get it to come back and take you and your Dad?

    Has anyone got a nice car you could pop some ribbon on?

    O/H wanted a taxi for the BMs, I wanted transport. We managed to get a deal as my wedding car is from same place as the now BMs transport. They'll be going in VW Camper, which the O/H and groomsmen will also use before them. I'll be arriving in a soft top 1979 VW Beetle with my dad!

    Only cost £420 for the lot, unlimited journeys with champagne and ribbons chucked in.

    We used the same car to take all the bridal party to the church as, like you, it was only 5 mins away from me. The car is my OH's pride and joy so we had to have it & we got SIL's boyfriend to drive it. He first brought up OH & the groomsmen & page boy from the hotel - that was a longer trip (15 mins) and then came to my house for the BM's and my mum & then came back for me and my bro. It was really handy & very cheap!

    I had my car take the BMs and my mum down and then return for me. It was about a 30-minute round trip. Looking back, if I had the time again, I'd just have got a taxi for them so that they could leave at the same time as me - they had to go before I got my dress on and I didn't get to share those last few minutes of excitement with them.
