Modes A La Mode
Get to the church on time on a...
Bicycle. Just the ticket for vintage-loving brides, hop on an old school bicycle for a talking point entrance that doubles as a fun prop for photos. You could even make a heart-stoppingly romantic exit with your beau on a tandem.
Tractor. Planning a country chic wedding? Then enlist a local farmer to deck out a tractor and transport you to your wedding in rustic and memorably romantic style. Wedding wellies optional.
Boat. It's difficult to imagine anything dreamier than cruising to and from your venue by boat, as the picturesque landscape glides by. Try Dartmouth River Boats or Plymouth Boat Trips.
Helicopter. As sophisticated and stylish as it is infinitely memorable, take to the skies in a helicopter for the ultimate A-list arrival. Get in touch with Castle Air for information on private charters.
Bus. Hop on board a bus or vintage coach for coolly timeless transport, which conveniently ferries your guests to and from your venue to boot.
