Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime occasion. You only get one shot to impress your better half and the hundred or so guests attending, so you want everything to be perfect. Whether that means choosing the most elegant dress your money can buy or hiring a photographer qualified enough to capture all those melting moments, what makes the perfect wedding will vary from couple to couple. However there is a selection of common practises at any wedding service.
There must be wedding rings, there must be witnesses and there must to be a wedding car, to get the wedding party from A to B. Wedding car hire is an essential part of planning your wedding and there are many things to consider when choosing the right vehicle.
The moment you arrive at the church is your chance to make your grand entrance; another opportunity to revel in the spotlight. After examining the possibilities for car hire in Sidcup specifically, this article takes you through some key factors to consider before getting behind the wheel.
Your choice of wedding car hire will depend on a number of factors, including your budget, the style of your wedding, the number of people requiring transport (lets face it, as sophisticated as it is, a 2 seater sports car is not suitable for the four bridesmaids), and distance to travel (think of the poor horses legs if you need to travel twenty miles to the wedding venue).
Before attending a recent wedding in Sidcup, as a favour to the bride, I had the role of organising the wedding car hire for the happy couple and was delighted to find an abundance of options available to me.
In a town where the stones started rolling (one of the platforms on Sidcup station is where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards first decided to form the Rolling Stones), Sidcup itself is a beautiful part of England.
I hadn't given too much thought to the route of the wedding car, however with the bride and groom travelling from separate homes to the wedding venue, I realised the journey to the church was equally important to the arrival and that, symbolically, the journey in to marriage begins with stepping in to the wedding car. Travelling on a scenic route through Sidcup, surrounded by parks, flowers and peaceful surroundings, is surely more idilic than being stuck in town centre traffic, with honking horns and irate drivers? I suddenly realised there was more pressure on me to find the perfect wedding car hire in Sidcup, than I initially realised.
Whether you settle on a Mercedes, a Rolls Royce, a pink limousine or a horse and cart, the car itself is only the tip of the iceberg in choosing your wedding car. Hiring your wedding car from a reputable, professional, and safety-conscious company means arriving at the church in style, on time and safely. Any hiccups with your transport will only cause extra stress on the day and is totally unnecessary. Make sure you plan carefully and do your research to avoid any disasters on the day. Hiring your wedding car from a provider accredited by the Ministry of Transport, may also help reduce your nerves and ensure you get the service you pay for.
Where possible, it is advisable to view the vehicles of your choice in person before you sign on the dotted line. Don't just take the images displayed on the company website for gospel. Sit in the vehicles and make sure they are comfortable and practical and fit the style of your wedding. Although you may well be casually dressed on the viewing day, it's useful to envisage how much room you will have to access the vehicle in your wedding dress.
The hire car will feature in many of the wedding photographs and therefore it is worthwhile considering if your choice offers good photographic opportunities? These pictures will go in your wedding album and be with you for life so you want to make sure your vehicle suits your wedding style and projects the look you are after.
On first thought, with so many things to consider when planning your wedding, it may be easy to put the wedding car hire lower down on the list of priorities. However don't underestimate its importance in playing a key part in your big day. If you are lucky enough to be planning a wedding near Sidcup or similar surroundings, be sure to plan your route to the church to ensure you make the most of the picturesque journey available to you, on your way into wedded bliss.
