ALL ABOARD! Have a think about who you need to provide transport for. While this might largely depend on your budget, you may want to give a thought to your guests if your ceremony and reception are some distance apart, or if the venue is particularly difficult to reach. If you’re asking your loved ones to make a tricky journey, you might want to lend them a hand. Aintree Coachline has been providing transport for all occasions since 1986 and offers a range of coaches with seating capacity from 35 to 98. The vintage coach is particularly popular and provides a memorable, fun experience for your nearest and dearest! Check out www.aintreecoachline.com WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN? Your guests will need to be the first to arrive at the ceremony, and they’ll be followed by the groom and groom’s party. Traditionally, the bridesmaids travel to the ceremony with the mother-of-the-bride, while the bride follows on afterwards with her father, or whoever she has chosen to walk her down the aisle. Think about your budget and ask your prospective suppliers what they’d recommend. Some may be able to make repeat journeys to come back for different members of the wedding party, others may suggest you book multiple vehicles if this isn’t practical. To save money you could hire one vehicle for the bride, later for the newlyweds, and book taxis for your best girls. One thing’s for sure, you won’t be short on space or wow factor in Hollywood Cars’ Ford Excursion Stretch Limo, which can seat up to 13 passengers. It comes complete with fully-equipped bar, VIP area, bluetooth music palyer, USB, iPod connection, TV and DVD. Check out https://hollywoodcars.co.uk WHEN TO BOOK The quick answer is: as early as possible. Some suppliers will have one vehicle, their pride and joy, and can only be in one place at one time so secure your date to avoid disappointment. DRESSED TO IMPRESS Find out whether your supplier provides any décor in the shape of palettefitting ribbons or flowers for the parcel shelf as part of the package or for an additional charge. If not, check whether they’re happy for you to make your own arrangements. We also recommend enquiring about the chauffeur’s attire! You don’t want anyone letting the side down, and full livery looks oh-so smart. SNAP HAPPY You’ve devoted as much care and attention to choosing your transport as to any other element of your day, so don’t miss out on capturing those all-important photographs. When booking make sure you’ve allocated time for this. If your ceremony and reception are at the same venue, why not ask if you can take a little trip together just the two of you, after the “I dos”? This time to soak up those first few moments as newlyweds will be precious and memorable. Plus, if you can bring your photographer along, there’ll be opportunities to get some couple shots at some fabulous locations along the way. SURPRISE! Looking for an extra special gift for your spouse-to-be and their party on the morning of the wedding? A sports car to get them to the ceremony on time will certainly be one to remember for the motoring enthusiast! www.aintreecoachline.com THE LITTLE WHITE BOOK OF LOCAL LOVELIES Aintree Coachline, www.aintreecoachline.com Barringtons Cars, https://barringtonscars.co.uk Bespoked Wedding Cars, www.bespokedweddingcars.com Century Wedding Cars, https://centuryweddingcars.co.uk Ellisons Travel, www.ellisonstravel.com Hollywood Cars, https://hollywoodcars.co.uk Love and Carriage Wedding Cars, www.loveandcarriage.co.uk Magnolia Classics, https://magnoliaclassics.co.uk Getty Images https://hollywoodcars.co.uk TRANSPORT 75
