Perfect Getaway

One of the most classic wedding photos is of the newly married bride and groom making their exit from the most exciting celebration of their lives, truly embarking on the beginning of their new journey as husband and wife. Perhaps what sets the tone for this special moment is the mode of transportation they choose for their departure.

Cars are definitely the most popular vehicles to be whisked away from your reception in, though the types of vehicles can vary almost as much as the couples that are in them. Probably the most popular vehicle for wedding transportation is the limousine—however, even though you may arrive in this stylish mode with your entire bridal party for your nuptials you may want something cozier for just the two of you as you finish your day. Consider renting a luxury vehicle, like a Bentley or Rolls Royce. Vintage automobiles are another great option for your grand finale, sitting atop the back of a classic convertible.

There are many other picturesque options, though they may be on a whole different set of wheels. For the sporty couple, a short drive on a golf cart from the reception site to the resort is certainly appropriate, as well as adorable. Jumping on a slow-moving trolley is great for the couple on the go or riding atop an antique fire-engine. There’s nothing more romantic than pulling away from your loved ones in a horse-drawn carriage or in the winter months, gliding across the snow in a horse-drawn sleigh.

A water exit can range from exhilarating as you wave from the back of a speed or power boat as it pulls away from the dock, or slow and romantic as you row onto a lake in a row boat or gondola. A goodbye from the deck of a luxury yacht is one shot everyone will be snapping.

Some finales can be truly exotic and as creative as you can imagine them. Hot air balloons and helicopters are just two of the more unique ways to transport the two of you to the start of your honeymoon.
