A great first impression: Your wedding shoes and car

First impressions are everything…there are three things that will have a noticeable impact on how people perceive you at your wedding. Your number one priority is obviously your dress - but it’s not just your dress that will have to impress.

Shoes are equally important as well as the vehicle you emerge from as you enter your venue. That’s why limo hire firm Limo-Scene & Wedding Cars has stepped in to help you with these two all-important considerations.

The shoes…

Can’t decide which shoes are appropriate? Don’t worry…we’ve complied a few for you:

Full shoe: If you want a traditional wedding choose this type because of the more elegant and clean-cut designs.

Sling backs: Perfect as a combo between a classical design and something a little different from the full shoe, sling backs are elegant, yet contemporary.

Sandals: Ranging from simply strappy designs to more elaborate creations, the possibility of finding the perfect pair for your wedding should increase with this style.

Ballet slippers: Great for tall brides who don’t want any extra height but offering the same comfort and class.

Trainers: Ideal if you’re planning to show-off your moves on the dance floor without tripping, a pair of trainers is a novelty option. While not regarded appropriate footwear for a traditional white wedding, they will certainly be a talking point.

Platforms: Need some extra height? Try platforms…be aware though that they may look less elegant than the more traditional full shoe or sling backs.

Flip flops: If you are planning a white beach wedding and you’ve found the perfect wedding dress and you now need a pair of shoes to suit the occasion…

The transport…

When it comes time to choose your wedding car or limo hire, you may find your head is spinning…there’s many different choices available on the market.

From 1930s style traditional cars to modern speed machines there are hundreds of models in today’s marketplace so it can seem like a bit of a minefield.

You can make it easier for yourself though? All you have to do is match it up with the type of wedding you are having – and quickly cuts down the potential candidates.

Having a traditional wedding? Get a classic limo or wedding car – which generally have upholstered cream leather.

For a modern-style wedding, you’ll have to pick a noticeably different type of car. Cars like the Aston Martin make ideal modern wedding cars, with plush black leather interiors

But, remember the practicalities too. Before you go leaping into decisions based on how your limo or wedding car looks, think about the number of people you are transporting and the distance you are travelling.

Also, think about the changeable British weather - an open top car may not be suitable in certain seasons. Go and see your limo in person…don’t rely on a photograph.
