The Wedding Car and Procession: A Detail That Changes the Entire Atmosphere
The arrival as staging
We often talk about the dress, the venue, the flowers… but we sometimes forget one fundamental element: the arrival. The wedding car and procession are not simply a means of transport. They participate in the staging of the wedding, the emotion of the entrance and the overall image of the event. It is the first spectacular moment of the day.
Why choose a wedding car?
Arriving in a characterful car immediately sets the tone.
Whether it's a vintage car, an elegant saloon, a collector's vehicle or a high-end contemporary model, it creates a transition between the intimate and the ceremonial.
It allows for:
- A controlled and elegant arrival
- Iconic photographs
- A suspended moment just before the ceremony
- A memorable experience for the couple
The car becomes a scenographic element in its own right.
The most popular types of cars
The vintage car — very popular for elegant weddings, it brings charm and romance. Citroën Traction, vintage Rolls-Royce, antique Bentley… these models create a timeless aesthetic.
The high-end modern car — Mercedes, Porsche, Maserati… for a chic and contemporary wedding. It brings visual power and sophistication, especially in urban settings or private mansions.
The symbolic car — sometimes couples choose a car with personal significance: the couple's first car, a family vehicle, the father's collector's car. The emotion then becomes even stronger.
The procession: orchestrated staging
The wedding procession structures arrivals and creates a rhythm.
Traditionally, it includes:
- The couple's car
- The parents
- The witnesses
- Bridesmaids and groomsmen
In some weddings, the procession can be festive, loud, almost spectacular. In more elegant weddings, it will be discreet, coordinated, harmonised in colours and vehicles.
Why take care of your procession?
Because everything is about coherence.
A high-end wedding leaves nothing to chance. The vehicles must correspond to the wedding palette, the style of the venue, the desired atmosphere and the couple's personality.
A well-thought-out procession gives an impression of fluidity and mastery.
The details that make the difference
- Subtle floral decoration on the car
- Ribbons coordinated with the palette
- Precise arrival timing
- Coordination with the photographer
- Strategic parking for photos
These are the elements that transform a simple arrival into an iconic moment.
Do you really need a wedding car?
It's not an obligation.
But in an elegant wedding, it is a powerful storytelling element. It marks the transition between the preparation and the ceremony.
It is also an intimate moment for the couple: a few minutes alone, before saying yes.
And that is priceless.

The wedding car and procession fully participate in the staging of the big day.
