10 Unconventional Wedding Transportation Ideas For Newlyweds And Guests

A fun, unique themed wedding will never be complete without a special mode of transportation to and from your wedding venue. Of course, you can always go the cheap route and settle for an ordinary car, adorned with flowers and ribbons. But if you’re willing to splurge on your once-in-a-lifetime event, there’s a wide range of wedding transportation options you tap into. 

Ever dreamed of being a Disney princess for a day and arrive in a horse-drawn carriage? How about going all-vintage with a classic 1950’s convertible and a vintage bus for your party? Perhaps, a rustic truck would make a perfect match for a farmhouse wedding ceremony and reception in the countryside? 

Skip traditional cars and arrive in style. We’ve listed down 10 creative wedding transportation ideas you may consider for your big day. 

1. Party bus

If you’re having a destination wedding with a far drive and you want to transport a large group of people (or should we say, “party animals”), consider hiring a lit party bus. With comfortable, spacious interiors, flashing lights, lively music, and a stocked bar, you and your guests can party before the wedding has even started.

You may also consider hiring a chauffeur-driven coach or minibus and ask the transportation rental company to transform it into a party bus-like vehicle for your event. This coach hire in Manchester, for instance, has wedding bus and stag/hen party coach services that are perfect for your wedding day. 

2. Vintage/ Retro Bus

While using vintage bridal cars isn’t a new concept, you can step up the game by hiring a vintage bus for your entourage and other guests. Vintage buses not only fit perfectly with the quirky, shabby chic aesthetic you’re dreaming to pull off — but they’re also large enough to accommodate more guests as opposed to vans and SUVs. When you hire a bus, our guests will arrive together at the same time, which means less stress for you, your guests, and your organizers. 

3. A Classic Limo 

No need to be a celebrity or a monarch to ride this elegant and luxurious vehicle --- t’s your big day, and one of the best ways to feel like a VIP is by hiring a limousine service. You may opt for a stretch limousine if you want your bridal party to ride with you. 

4. Luxury Car

Not a fan of the vintage aesthetic? If you’re dreaming of a sophisticated, modern-day wedding theme that looks like a million dollars, consider hiring a sports car. Luxury vehicles are perfect for memorable photo-ops, especially if the color of the car matches your wedding theme. 

5. Horse-drawn Carriage/ Wagon/ Sleigh

If you’re an old-fashioned, hopeless romantic, then riding and stepping out of a horse-drawn carriage is probably one of your childhood fantasies. Well, your wedding makes a pretty good excuse for turning that dream into a reality. 

Go ahead and step into an elegant horse-drawn carriage or sleigh with the love of your life. For rustic, countryside weddings, you may opt for a horse-drawn wagon adorned with greenery and white blooms. The best part is your happily-ever-after won’t end by midnight. 

6. How About A Lone Horse? 

For a more adventurous take on a horse-driven ride, consider riding a horse. Turn heads as you travel around the vicinity like a badass prince or princess with the help of your four-legged friend. Now that’s a grand entrance.

7. Hippie tandem bicycles

Don’t care about breaking a sweat? If you’re looking for an unconventional vehicle that won’t break the bank, consider tandem bicycles. A bicycle built for two adds a little hipster flair to your wedding. It’s perfect if your wedding destination is close to nature, with tree-lined streets and cooler climates. It’s eco-friendly too. 

8. Golf Cart

Getting married in a country club or any open outdoor venue? Make it extra fun by riding a golf cart. Make it extra elegant and hassle-free by hiring a chauffeur. 

9. Vintage Trolley

Thinking about your wedding guests’ transportation? White trolleys are a charming alternative to shuttles. Plus, the antique aesthetic pairs well with vintage-themed weddings. 

10. Romantic Boat

If your planning a waterside wedding, be it a picturesque beach or a tranquil river setting, you may step up your transportation game by arriving by boat. Rent a canoe or speedboat, If you have a river or lake setting, think about having a rowboat traversing along swan-filled waters (yup, we’re thinking about that scene from “The Notebook” too). Just be ready for water splashes that may mess up your dress and/or suit.
