Movie MOTORS Wedding transport ideas inspired by our silver and small screen favourites https://vpphotography.pics Ray Harrington on Unsplash Patrick Schneider on Unsplash Ries Bosch on Unsplash BOND, JAMES BOND Behind the scenes Whether you’re a fan of the classic Sean Connery and Roger Moore movies, or Daniel Craig holds your heart, James Bond’s world offers an ultra-glam backdrop for your big day. Think chic black tie for the groom and his party, and sleek cocktail dresses for your bridesmaids. Meanwhile, you could go full Bond girl and slip into something slinky. Look for a fitted silhouette, with a sexy leg split. Why not have a cocktail hour with Martinis (shaken not stirred) top of the list? To keep guests entertained during the lull before or after dinner, hire a casino company as a nod to Casino Royale. Your guests will love trying their hands and a spot of roulette. Arrive in style Bond is synonymous with the Aston Martin, which is a must-have when you opt for this theme. Alternatively, if you truly want to demonstrate your chops as a fan, opt for Something Blue’s (www.somethingbluecarhire. com) Ford Mustang, which is the same model and colour as used in the second James Bond film, Thunderball in 1965. In this scene with Sean Connery, Bond comes out of the water and is picked up by a Spectre agent in this car. In fact, the UK James Bond Society has been known to use this very vehicle on occasion as stand in! BRIDGERTON Behind the scenes If, like us, you’ve been completely obsessed with the lives of the Bridgertons and Featheringtons over the past couple of years it may well inspire your wedding theme. Regency-core is the way to go here and is oh-so on trend. You’ll be looking for a Georgian period venue ideally, and Wedgewood blue is the palette dreams are made of. Music is key here, so a string quartet is the must-have. You’ll find most are adept at performing classical versions of modern hits, and have been doing so way before Bridgerton’s producers ever thought of it. Arrive in style Motor transport wasn’t even invented until the late 1800s, so there’ll be no cars for this theme. The Georgians travelled by horse and carriage, so this is the way to go to ensure you arrive in true Bridgerton style. TRANSPORT 47
