Wedding Transport

Hello,


I'm currently having a dilemma with transport.. my venue is probably about 40 minutes to an hours travel with motorways. I'm struggling on ideas to get myself, dad and bridal party there. So there will be around 8 people in total.
Our wedding is quite a rustic theme in a old farmhouse. I dont want a limo, they're not my thing, neither is getting multiple old vintage expensive cars!
Any ideas would be appreciated!!

    I've had the exact problem but have decided to get a 6 seater vintage car for myself, step dad and bridesmaids. But I have also look at a small wedding bus which are also amazing. There are wedding camper vans etc also. If u didn't want to do the whole 'special car thing maybe look at a wedding minibus they normally come with drivers. Xx

    Is there a room at the venue where you can get ready -- if you first do all of the hair and makeup at home and will just need to put the dress on and touch up. That way you just travel in a normal car with Dad and the rest of the bridesmaids can also do that same. If all the work is done at home then you will not need the usual kind of space. I have shot plenty of weddings this way where the venue dose not actually have any accommodation but another room was made available. Also consider sitting on your dress for 1 hour and getting it creased - is it a summer wedding - you are going to need air con which a vintage transport will not have.

    Our venue is an hour away and I didn't want to worry about my dress and traffic so we have found a little cottage that we are renting nearby the night before, would that be an option, or a hotel? Our ushers will be packing up stuff as we go along and we have got a late checkout

    Oh I didn't think about renting a little cottage! We can stay at the venue but it's limited rooms and we're getting married on a Sunday so i don't want to take the rooms from someone else! Definitely looking into this! Xx

    Great suggestions above about rooms and other accommodation. If you end up looking for transport though, I’ve seen some really funky options available- vintage buses and even fire engines!

    There is but we have to pay for the night before. I don't want to take up the rooms as we're getting married on a sunday so will be a wedding the day before.

    I've also had it set on that me and my (soon to be) husband will stay there for the first time.. probably a bit odd but i've got that in my head! Smiley smile

    Yes definitley. I love all the vintage vehicles - fortunlatley my Fiance comes from a line of firefighters... his step dad owning a fire and rescue company so he has access to them but not sure i want one at my wedding!
