Your wedding day is one of the most important moments in your life, and every detail matters... especially how you arrive (and leave). For many couples, a classic car offers the perfect way to make an entrance and set the tone for a memorable day. But with so many stunning vehicles to choose from, how do you pick the right one for your wedding?
Here’s a guide to help you choose the perfect classic car for your big day.
1. Think About Your Wedding Theme
The first step in choosing the right classic car is to think about the overall theme of your wedding. Is it vintage, modern, or more of a romantic, traditional celebration? The car you choose should complement the style of your event and not jar with it:
- Vintage Weddings: A 1920s Rolls-Royce or a classic Bentley could add old-school elegance.
- Modern Weddings: A sleek 1960s Jaguar or Mustang offers a more stylish, timeless vibe.
- Romantic Weddings: A beautiful 1960s Cadillac or a classic Mercedes-Benz is perfect for glamour and romance.
2. Decide on the Size of Your Car
Think about how many people need to fit in the car. Are you just looking for a stylish ride for the two of you, or will you need space for your bridal party or family? The last thing you want is a car that’s too small... nobody wants to be squashed in on the big day.
- For Two: A two-door car like a classic convertible or sports car is perfect for just the bride and groom.
- For the Bridal Party: Choose a larger vehicle like a classic limo or a vintage car with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the ride.
3. Choose a Car That Reflects Your Personality
A classic car is more than just a mode of transport: it’s a statement. Whether you’re car enthusiasts or simply want to make a big impression, the car you pick should reflect who you are as a couple.
- For Car Enthusiasts: Choose a muscle car, like a 1960s Mustang or Camaro, to showcase your love for the classics.
- For A Timeless Vibe: Opt for a vintage Rolls-Royce or a sleek Jaguar for an understated, sophisticated statement.
- For Quirky Couples: A classic VW Beetle or a colorful convertible will add some serious cool points to your big day.
4. Make Sure It’s Reliable
The last thing you want on your wedding day is a breakdown. So when you're choosing a car, make sure it's well-maintained and in top condition. At DRIVESHARE, we offer a huge range of carefully curated classic cars that have been restored and are ready to make your big day extra special.
5. Don't Forget the Details
To make your classic car experience even more memorable, have you thought about adding some personal touches? Many couples choose to decorate their wedding cars with flowers, ribbons, or even a “Just Married” sign. Don't forget to check with the car owner to see if they offer these options, or if you can add your own.
