Wedding Transport...?

Wow your transport plans sound geat, such a funky idea, the lakc cab thing is a great back up too there are loads in Bristol and the ribbon thing wouldnt be a problem!!

Im having a limo as i want to fit in my cbm flower girls mum and sister! x

My dad drove me himself in his pride and joy, his renault gordini:

and me arriving in it:

also featured in december 2009's edition of performance french cars... dad knows the editor ? ?

it was absolutely brilliant fun, really noisy, but loads of people honked and waved at us, we both had a great time! we didn't really have the traditional father/daughter heart to heart as neither of us could hear what the other was saying! but we did giggle loads on the way.

Bluewater, Love it!!!!!

Well two of our friend have fab camper vans, one in mint condition and that will be taking me and my dad to the Church and the other camper van will take my mum and all my bridesmaids!

OH is driving his pride and joy beetle.

We are also arranging for 2 double decker buses to take our guests from the church to the venue, whihc shold be fun!!!!

We are having our 1972 VW Campervan. She is like part of the family!! She is going in the garage in Jan for a restoration and respray.

I reeeeeaaally wanted a Karma Kab or a 1950s New York taxi but eventually reasoned that as we're getting married and having the reception in the same venue I should go for a cheaper option!

Getting a local private hire company to take us in a new Mercedes S class with ribbons and bubbly included (poss should avoid this as I'll be slurring when I say "Yesh, I weeeelll") and it's one fifth of the price a vintage or original car would have cost.

Because I'm saving on transport I'm letting myself splurge on my shoes and accessories - any excuse!! x

I'm having a Daimler State Laundulet in black over white with a matching jag limo for my mum and the bms.

OH will be arriving in my brother's 1974 Corvette if he gets it fixed up in time...

Sorry to jump in this thread but I wanted to ask- does anyone know the rough price of hiring a wedding car. I know it depends on the journey but what did other people pay?

Thanks

My oh and i fell in love with one of these car!!!

Hahahah - this thread made me laugh - my other half wants to take his pride and joy to the wedding as his transport - his motorbike - think it would be quite cool just not sure of the logistics of it

I do love old vehicles. I also came across a company that supplies old buses in the London and North home counties that is worth looking at for those interested...timebus on my webpage links is really worth considering(if you need this sort of thing) http://www.eternaldreams.co.uk/index_files/Links.htm

Some fab ideas here, I must admit I love weddings where the guests are all ferried around in old double deckers!

Well - we're getting one step closer to having a landrover at our wedding - it's MOT day today!!

Just over a year ago, it was pretty much a knackered old empty shell of a landrover that had to be put on the back of the trailer by a fork lift truck to bring it home and today it's driving to it's MOT! I'm told it probably won't pass but here's hoping!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

BlueWater & Zippy - I'm glad i'm not the only one arriving in unusal style!! ?

Do/did you have a back-up plan at all?

Zippy ... LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

errrrm not really. dad had been fine tuning his car for about 3 weeks beforehand, so we thought we'd be OK getting there. saying that, we were followed by all the bridesmaids, my mum and aunt in a nice 13 seater vw cab, and my uncle was in his car behind them, so we would have got there somehow. we also left really early in case there was traffic or anything, and in the end, we were 15 minutes early, so we pulled into brands hatch racing circuit for 10 mins to pass the time. dad and i were tempted to take the gordini around the circuit for a couple of laps!

Why do I need a back up plan?

I'm having a badsworth laundelette to take me to the church (costing £285). hopefully we're having an old tractor n some sort of trailer to take us to the church (H2B is really into tractors!) if i can find a suitable one but it's a surprise for him.

My back up plan is if its raining then we'll go in the car n just have the tractor to have photos with. If we're going on the tractor then grandparents n BM are going in the car.
