Australian weddings mostly follow British tradition where the bride and groom get prepared at different locations, usually the parents’ family homes, but these days many couples marry after years together so one of the couple get ready at their own home. The bride and groom are driven to the ceremony, which is followed by family photos before traveling to various locations for feature wedding photos before the reception.

There are four different trips to plan:

1. Getting the groom to the ceremony.
2. Getting the bride to the ceremony.
3. Getting the wedding party to the feature photograph locations and on to the reception.
4. The late night get-away for the newly married couple to their end of night destination.

Getting the Groom to the Ceremony

The groom and groomsmen can arrive at the ceremony up to thirty minutes before the bridal party to meet and greet the guests on arrival. It is now common for the groom and his party to make their own way to the ceremony, however it is still popular for a groom to pick a favourite mode of transport such as a classic Jaguar convertible or a modern sports car for the trip.
It is also popular for the groom and groomsmen to hire a matching car to that chosen by the bridal party so the afternoons trip to photographs and the reception stays in the wedding them.

Getting the Bride to the Ceremony

The current fashion is for brides to arrive on time. This is possibly driven by the businesslike manner that churches now deal with wedding ceremonies.

The bridal car sets the wedding theme. It is very popular for brides to choose a classic bridal car plus either matching vehicle(s) or a limousine for the bridal party.

A single limousine is sometimes chosen for simplicity when planning the day but it is important to remember to order one large enough for the complete wedding party after the ceremony

Travel to the Photographs and Reception

Usually parents, flower girls and pageboys do not follow the wedding party to the feature photo locations. This is a good time for the couple to have some space and a break from the hectic pace of a wedding day. What ever the bridal car, it ids usually a feature in the wedding photographs.

The End of Night Get-away

Many couples leave the end of night transport until the last minute to organise. It is easier and often cheaper to book at the same time as other wedding transport. It may be included at a discount with the larger booking process. Often a modern chauffeured sedan is the easiest to organise and most chauffeur businesses will understand that weddings some times run overtime.
