Flashback five to eight years. Every bride-to-be had a meltdown if they couldn’t have a Chrysler wedding car on their big day. Thankfully, times have changed and there’s much more variety on the market for those wanting an alternative method of transport. We love these fun wedding transport ideas…
The Vintage Vespa
There’s something ridiculously romantic about the newlyweds making their own way to the reception party. Most of the day is spent taking photos and mingling with guests. Letting your hair down and going on a little adventure sounds much more appealing than the awkwardness of a driver listening in on your first moments alone as a married couple.
Live the Italian dream by travelling in style on a vintage Vespa. We promise, you will laugh a lot and can stop off for a moment alone on your journey.
