Title: Wedding Cars
Post by: TANNER on March 26, 2012, 09:07:31 pm: Evening all, here's a random one for you:
I'm getting married in December and sorting wedding cars is on my to do list.
It's about 15 miles between church and reception venue and being December with weather unpredictable we have ruled out anything "antique/classic".

I fancy something along the lines of Bentley or rolls modern offering but looking for inspiration!
I've thought about hiring something with just 2 seats like an r8 or Aston but it will depend on whether the missus is going large on a dress! Also means I wouldn't be able to have a drink to calm the nerves before hand and would no doubt want to be out playing rather than eating canopes! :driver:

She also has 6 bridesmaids to transport, a few of the lads have access to WAG faves range sports, cayennes etc that may help out ferrying them but any other ideas appreciated!

Cheers :happy2:

Ford Model T, I know its not a VW but I think it's a lovely classic car

VW campervan for the bridesmaids.

I wouldnt have a Phantom, too typical. Maybe an Aston Martin Rapide to be different!

Post by: TANNER on March 26, 2012, 10:39:52 pm: I have thought about a convoy of Gti's would be funny. As I'm the car bore/enthusiast within our group the lads are expecting something different!
The bug and splitty was done at one of the bridesmaids weddings last yr

So that's out.
An A8 would be lovely but not sure it would stand out in traffic?
Understated is chic though!

Post by: VC on March 26, 2012, 10:47:19 pm: How about a fleet of white fiat 500's? One each for the bride and bridesmaids in white and an arbath for the groom and best man?

You could recreate some sort of Italian job antics on the way to the church
