We are fascinated by the lives of celebrities – from royal weddings and red carpet events to their love affairs and weddings. We are captivated by the stories in the press about all the glitz and glamour associated with the big names in sport, TV and films. We love to know all the details about celebrity weddings too. One detail that always steals the show is the wedding transport chosen. From vintage cars to sleek limousines and helicopters, how the celebrity bride arrives sets the tone for the wedding and inspires many couples to add a sprinkle of A-list magic to their own big day.
Here we look at some of the magnificent cars that have been chosen by royalty and celebrities:
