Why do you need wedding transportation?

While you may never have considered that you'll need a way to roll on wedding day, wedding transportation is a big logistical piece of wedding planning. Why? At the very least, you'll need to organize special transportation to get the bride to the wedding ceremony, and to get the wedding party from the ceremony to a photo shoot and/or the reception.

The number of people being shuttled around

Traditionally, the bride and groom and the rest of the wedding party have their transportation provided for them. This is so that the wedding party can stick together for photos after the reception, and not have to worry about parking before or after the wedding ceremony. (Grooms are not advised to be carrying quarters.)

How the bride gets to the ceremony

As a groom, you may be wondering how your bride gets to the wedding ceremony. As you're not actually supposed to see the bride before she glides down the aisle, you'll be happy to know that wedding transportation is really for her and her bridesmaids. The limo, bus, trolley, classic car etc. will pick her up wherever she is with enough time for her to get to the wedding ceremony site. After the ceremony, the bride and groom travel together. article continues...
