AN OLD CLASSIC

When Victoria and David Beckham recently gifted their son Brooklyn with a 1954 vintage Jaguar XK140 as a recent wedding gift, it put classic cars back in the spotlight. They offer a timeless choice for weddings and with so much variety, there’s a vehicle available to suit every couple’s style

This pretty 1950s vintage Indian Ambassador car from Kushi Cars (Kushi meaning happiness in Hindi) is reminiscent of a Morris Minor on the outside. The bumper can be decorated with flowers to suit the theme of each wedding with a popular option being green foliage including eucalyptus. The interior is draped in rich red and gold fabrics providing an Insta-worthy photo opportunity and the vehicle can travel to weddings throughout the Cotswolds (it’s based in Cheltenham) and further afield on request.

For another quirky Morris Minor option, meet Dillys, a 1958 post-production convertible in Old English White with a beautiful maroon hood and interior, available from family-run Milbury Morris Minors based in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire.

Another model in the fleet is Bunty, an original 1963 convertible model, also in Old English White, with a red hood and interior and a vintage luggage rack on her boot. All of the cars, which also include Alice, a two-door saloon and Syd, a duck-egg blue 1968 Traveller, can be dressed in ribbons, bunting or flowers to match the colour theme of the wedding.

When Kate Moss and Jamie Hince famously married in the Cotswolds, they used a fleet of six Rolls-Royce Silver Shadows to transport their 15 bridesmaids. Kate Middleton and Princess Eugenie both arrived in style in a 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI at their weddings and Kim Kardashian chose a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe vehicles when she tied the knot with Kris Humphries.

Get the celebrity look with Wedding Car Gloucestershire which provides an immaculate Rolls-Royce Silver Spur featuring a sleek blue leather interior. The hire price includes a bottle of champagne for the happy couple and decorative flowers to match the wedding theme.
