Many newlywed couples are deciding against the ‘Just Married’ sign written in their windshield as they drive away from the ceremony. While classic, this mode of transportation is being phased out by more modern and luxurious ways of travel. In addition, some decide to arrive at the wedding in a limousine and drive away in their own car.

The combination is really just a matter of opinion relating to the bride and groom’s wishes. The most traditional form of chauffeured transportation is a limousine. Depending on your geographical area and distance traveled, a limo rental can run between $30.00 to $250.00 per hour. It’s important to schedule limousine arrangements several months before the wedding.

It’s a good idea to visit the limousine company and check out their fleet in person. Often times, they will allow you to select whichever one you prefer out of their entire line. This will give both the bride and groom an opportunity to see the inside of the cars, their amenities, sunroof and other options.

It will also allow choices in the car style and color. A deposit will likely be required in order to reserve the service and a contract will be signed. Always provide the limousine company with detailed directions and instructions. Call ahead the day before your ceremony to ensure that everything is on schedule and the limousine pick-up is still planned.

At that time, leave a telephone number that you or a relative can be reached at incase the driver gets lost of has car trouble while in route to the destination. Keeping an open line of constant communication will ensure a smooth ride. Many cities and historic towns offer an old-time tradition of horse and carriage rides.

This mode of transportation dates far back, but is still much a modern luxury. Picture your wedding day as you ride to the church in a horse drawn carriage. Galloping hooves trot on their way as all eyes gaze upon the princess in her beautiful white wedding gown seated in the carriage. These options, too, book up early and should be scheduled months before the wedding ceremony. Less traditional, but very creative, ways to ride off into the sunset still remain.

Perhaps instead of riding off into the sunset, you prefer to ride up into the sunset. Hot air balloon rides can prove to be a dramatic and memorable exit as you wave to the guests below.

Photo opportunities abound as the happy couple glides away. If you choose a beach wedding, check with the local tourism center or boat facility about a boat rental. Perhaps instead of driving away, the newlywed’s sail off into the sunset. As you see, transportation is truly limited by your imagination.

There are a variety of options available and should be reflective of the bride and groom’s personal taste. Once a mode of transportation is selected, shop around and find the best deal. Always get a signed contract and keep in communication with the person handling the reservation. Inquire about cancellation policies, rescheduling, any additional fees, etc. It may seem like an inconvenience to ask so many questions but, in the end, you will be glad that you did
