When it
comes to moving yourself and the wedding party around, you
have a number of options. White chauffeur-driven limousines
are popular in the Toronto Region, but don't ignore the
obvious benefits of horse-drawn carriages, party buses,
vintage cars or sports cars.
For some brides, matching Lincolns
or Cadillacs driven by groomsmen can be a fine alternative,
especially if you choose black or dark colours that will set
off your dress so beautifully.
In contacting limo companies, ask
what types are available and the features of each vehicle.
Ascertain if there are any wedding or guest packages.
The procession of vehicles to the
church:
Car #1: Mother. Maid of honour. Optional: An attendant or
two.
Car #2: Attendants.
Car #3: You and your father.
The groom and the best man should
make their own arrangements for getting to the ceremony --
preferably at least 30 minutes before. Exception: If
pictures are being taken, the men should arrive about two
hours in advance of the ceremony.
Out-of-town guests should be able
to hitch a ride with friends and relatives. Every designated
driver should receive a map, a precise departure point, a
departure time and a list of passengers.
Leaving the church, you and your
new husband will ride in the car that brought you and your
father to the church. Your parents will travel together in a
second car. The rest of the wedding party climb aboard the
remaining vehicles.
Horse-drawn carriages are an
exciting choice during the right time of year. Ask about
carriage styles and prices. Carriages can be used in
conjunction with conventional wedding vehicles.
