You’ve booked the venue, celebrant and photographer, and you’re still deciding on the perfect menu and your favourite flavour for the cake. There are so many decisions to make in the lead up to your special day that it’s essential to ensure nothing is forgotten. You may find that your to-do list develops a list of its own as you change your mind several times on your way to making sure this one day in your life is the most perfect day of all.
A big part of your wedding day is how you travel to and arrive at the ceremony. Unless you’re getting married in your backyard, you’ll need transport. There are many choices available, so you need to be sure the bridal car you hire is perfect for your special day.
Your choice of car rental for your big day needs to meet a list of criteria. Is it just for the Bride, or are the Bridesmaids travelling in it as well? Does it match your wedding theme? Is it your fiancé’s dream car? This is your wedding day, and it should be perfect. So whether you’re looking for old-world charm, Hollywood glamour or traffic-stopping wow factor – choose a luxury car that suits you.
Luxury Car rental
One item on your to-do list should be to research luxury car hire. The perfect vehicle hire will ensure you arrive in style for your wedding ceremony. You and the bridal party will be transported in luxury as you drive to your photo locations. A luxury vehicle will play a significant part in the photos and video of your wedding day. Your dream car will enhance your picturesque moments and enrich the memories of your special day.
How to choose your luxury car hire
- Start searching for your ideal luxury vehicle early, as some cars can be booked 12 to 24 months in advance.
- Begin with an online search – make a list of your favourite luxury cars and then book a time to look in person
- Know your wedding theme – does the luxury vehicle fit in with your chosen wedding day theme? Or your personalities?
- Make sure you have a good idea of what you’re looking for. For example, are you looking for a romantic car? Or perhaps you want a wow factor that suits your personality?
- Does a particular luxury vehicle hold special meaning for the Bride or Groom or their families?
Luxury Photo Opportunities
The wedding photo shoot is an essential part of your perfect day. Your photos last forever and are a beautiful reminder of your wedding ceremony, reception, and distinct moments of your celebration.
A luxury car can perfectly complement the theme of your wedding. It raises the status and becomes the perfect backdrop for your photoshoot. So if you’re looking for Hollywood glamour, European romance or immediate wow moments, definitely look at hiring a luxury car for your wedding day.
Before the wedding ceremony
Traditionally the Bride spends time before the ceremony with her Bridesmaids and perhaps other close family members. This time together is usually spent having hair and makeup done and generally enjoying these special moments before leaving for the wedding ceremony.
Once hair and makeup are complete, the Bridesmaids can slip on their dresses, collect their bridal bouquets and have a few photos with a luxury car as a fantasy backdrop. Another way you can enhance the experience is to capture the following moments in photos or on film.
- Bridal party leaving the house
- Bride standing beside and sitting in the luxury wedding car
- Father of the Bride beside and assisting his daughter into the wedding car
- Bridal bouquets surrounding the luxury car
Bride and Groom first look
More couples these days are opting for a first look. A first look before the wedding ceremony is entirely personal, allowing some quiet time before the ceremony. It also gives the Bride and Groom a lengthier opportunity for more photos. And choosing a luxury car rental provides transport and affords an opulent backdrop for their photos.
Pre-Wedding Reception
After the ceremony is the best time to capture family photos. Once the traditional family photos are done, you may choose to have a portrait session at the desired location. You can travel to the site in your luxury car rental, and it can also be a memorable part of your photos.
A luxury car rental can also be used as your drive away car after the reception on the way to the first night of your honeymoon.
Scout your wedding photoshoot locations in advance
Depending on where you are getting married and what sort of photos you would like, Brisbane has some amazing photoshoot locations. Leading up to your big day, you should scope any sites in advance.
Ensure you have enough time to get from the ceremony to the photoshoot location and back to the reception. Ideally, 60 minutes – 90 minutes is how long you have between the ceremony and reception to capture some fantastic photos and memories.
