When couples think about wedding planning, there are all those well-known little details to deal with. You are probably familiar with the list. Choosing your guests — not only how many but who makes the cut and who doesn’t — can be a challenging proposition. Floral arrangements are always being balanced between aesthetics and budget. What food is going to be served and what about vegetarian and religious meal alternatives? Seating arrangements, tuxedo styles, bridesmaid bouquets, and on and on. It can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a lot of work. But there’s one thing that most couples don’t think about upfront: transportation. Just what type of conveyance will you be pulling up to the ceremony in and leaving in?

This question may seem to be yet another minor detail — but think about it! For many people, the style of your ride says a lot. There’s a big difference between showing up in a tricked-out stretch Hummer and just popping off a bus! And if that sounds a little outlandish in either direction, you might be surprised that those choices leave lasting impressions on the entire wedding party. So maybe it’s time to put a little more thought into it. What do you two have in common? Are you proud city slickers who refuse to own a car? Maybe you share some kind of unusual hobby like kayaking or horseback riding? Now maybe you’re starting to get the idea! So now let us give you a few cool ideas for arriving and departing from your own wedding.

The Old Standby

For the last several decades, the go-to method for wedding transportation has been the fancy car, be it a limousine, town car or maybe some kind of souped-up vintage model. All of these choices are great — comfort and style will be needed especially for long dresses and stiff suits. It’s your special day, and you should be treated like a rock star! But maybe consider kicking things up a notch. Perhaps you arrive decked out in a classic Rolls Royce. Or maybe you’re both military brats and want to show up in a camo jeep! If you’re going to arrive on four wheels, see if there is some special vehicle that makes a statement about you both.

Quadrupedal Conveyances

As we just said, you can arrive on four wheels. But maybe you’d rather arrive on four legs! For those couples who share a love for all things equestrian, there is nothing quite like arriving at your own wedding on horseback. It can make for quite the line of groomsmen and bridesmaids riding behind! If you’re planning an outdoor wedding in nice weather, trotting down the aisle will be a delightful way to liven up the day. Or perhaps you can up the fairytale vibe a bit and make both your entrance and getaway by horse-drawn carriage. Even on a snowy day, you will make a magical impression your guests will never forget!

Alternate Transportation

Maybe you’re not country folk. Maybe you and your partner are diehard urbanites who proudly take buses, subways and taxis to get around. How cool would it be if instead of coming to your own ceremony with a driver, you show up stepping out of a checker cab? Nothing makes for quite the metropolitan feel as showing off your city bona fides by making your most special day something you use your metro card to get to! You can rest assured you’ll get a lot of curious looks on the public transportation trip.

By Sea

Remember we mentioned kayaking earlier? Well, we weren’t kidding! Waterside weddings are incredibly popular nowadays. And so if you and your special someone would prefer some nautical nuptials, why not cruise on up in a sailboat? When arriving by sea, this can mean paddleboats, Jet Skis — whatever! No matter your style, seek out that individual touch that binds both of you will make that day even more unforgettable!
