It's set to be the biggest, most memorable and most magical day of your life. Making sure everything is just how you always envisioned it to be is part of the preparation for the big day and a long list of 'to dos' is likely to hold you captive as a result. Among this list are likely to be the three words, 'Book Wedding Car'. However like most factors involved in your wedding preparations, this requires a lot of consideration because selecting the right wedding car will contribute to the excitement of the whole day and therefore, you want to get it right.
Your wedding car isn't just the mode of transport that will take you from A to B; it's much more than that. Aside from the selected special few who get to spend the morning with the bride and groom, the moment you turn up to your ceremony will be the first time the guests get to see the new Mr and Mrs. Given that you spend an incredible amount of time, money and effort planning your outfits for the big day, you want your entrance in these garments to be just as spectacular. Having an opportunity to ride in a vehicle you would never usually have the chance to do and watching passerby's reactions as you whizz on by, all helps to add to the buzz of the day.
The car you arrive to your wedding in will set the scene for the day, whether it's a vintage model or a brand new sports car, the choice will be yours. It will also feature in the first of your wedding photos therefore if you're after the wow factor, make sure you give this some careful thought.
If you are planning on a classic traditional wedding, you may like to opt for an equally classic wedding car such as an E Class Mercedes-Benz or midrange Audi. These classic motors make reliable wedding cars. Breaking down en-route to your wedding is worse than bad luck and therefore it's important to book a reliable motor, to prevent this from being a concern.
The Mercedes-Benz E class and Audi range are very reliable cars that will ensure you arrive on time, in style and with plenty of room to fit that big gown. The Mercedes-Benz S Class is another excellent option if you are after sheer elegance. It is perhaps the most classic chauffeur driven vehicle, acting as a safe, reliable and a timeless wedding car. Or perhaps you could look at hiring a Jaguar or BMW 7 Series or even a Range Rover for a little cross country driving en-route to church.
If you're really looking to stretch the budget, Bentley's make fantastic wedding cars. The epitome of class, Bentley's ooze many special touches you would expect from the price tag, including handcrafted interiors and wooden veneers, classic characteristics of the Bentley brand. The Bentley is an expensive, prestigious car with a touch of British class.
If you're budget isn't exhaustive but you have a romantic vision, Vintage makes the perfect wedding car. They are classically romantic and effortlessly chic. From Jaguars to Rolls-Royce, vintage cars offer an idyllic slice of the past. You just need to be careful when hiring a vintage wedding car, that your source is reliable and has experience in the industry. Being old motors, they have the tendency to experience problems but as long as you trust your source, and are confident there is a back-up plan should something go wrong, such as a spare vehicle, you can get on with enjoying the beauty of the motor.
When booking your wedding car, you want to hire from a company with experience in the industry, with positive reviews and who won't over-charge for their services. You need to consider the size of the vehicle and if you hire your car from a company specifically dealing in weddings, you can be assured the service you receive will be geared around making your whole day special, rather than just lending you a car for the day with no thought or concern as to how you plan to use it.

How To Go Through The Countdown Of Your Wedding
No, matter how many preparations one does before the wedding, some or the other last minute chores are bound up to come up. One of the ways to prevent such a hazard is by making the countdown lists for the various times before the wedding. For example, there can be one list for all the things that need to be taken care of around 3 months prior to the final day, one for one month before, another list for a fortnight before, one for a week before and then one for just one day before the wedding day.
Such kind of lists can be very helpful in remembering all the details as well as all the chores that would need to be completed before the final day and the chances of any confusion are reduced to almost zero. Lets us have a look at the various things that need to be kept in mind during these various countdowns: -
Jobs to be done 3 months before the wedding: . The invitations must be sent by this time to all the guests so that they can get enough time to plan their programs and inform the hosts accordingly. . The music that will be played in the wedding, the hymns and all should also be decided by this time. . Shopping for the bridesmaids, best man and other important people can also be done by this time and the gifts can be packed and kept properly at one place. . The theme of the wedding, the decorations, the seating arrangement as well as the flower arrangements can be discussed and finalized by this stage. . The menu can be finalized with the caterer and the responsibilities in this regard can be completely handed over to him or her.
- Jobs to be taken care of 1 month before the wedding: . All the allocated jobs will need to be reconfirmed and re checked for their confirmed status and informed about any changes if required. . The wedding dresses of the bride and the groom as well as the other important members must be ready for the final trial so that all the changes can be done well in time. . The bookings for the honeymoon must also be reconfirmed at this point of time. . Thank you cards must also be made ready by this time and even sent out to the people who have sent any responses to the invitations.
- Things that need to be taken care of a week before the wedding: . The bride and the groom must go through a wedding rehearsal at least a week before the final wedding day. This will help them relax a bit on the wedding day and help the organizers to understand the conditions better. . Packing for the honeymoon can also be done by this time so that any last moment shopping or packing does not bother the bride or the groom. All these things when kept in mind when make the wedding day extremely special and memorable.
