Wedding Tips: Wedding cars
BEhind the scenes
The wedding car is more than transport — it is a lovely few minutes of calm between getting ready and walking the aisle, and it makes for some of the most timeless photographs of the day. A few things worth thinking about.
In South Africa still plays a big role in weddings. Here are some tips to get the most out of this part of your wedding day.
Build in a few minutes for it
It is tempting to treat the car as pure logistics, but those few minutes between the house and the church are often beautifully calm — just you, a breath, and the day about to begin. Ask your driver to take it slowly, and let me grab a frame or two through the window. Those images age wonderfully.
Reliable beats flashy
A vintage car is a gorgeous touch, but make sure it is a reliable one — a breakdown on the way to the ceremony is the kind of stress nobody needs. Confirm pick-up times in writing, allow extra travel time when you build your timeline, and keep a back-up plan in your back pocket. Then simply enjoy the ride.
