Your wedding day is one of the most important and memorable days of your life. Details count and your choice of wedding car helps to set the tone for the day. Whether you are dreaming of timeless elegance, modern luxury, something unconventional or a snazzy sports cars, your choice of wedding car will make a lasting impression with a stunning entrance and exit.
Here we bring you the 10 most popular wedding cars that will help you to turn heads and travel in style on your wedding day.
Topping our list as the most enquired-about and booked vintage-style wedding car, the Beauford convertible is a real wedding day favourite.
Often referred to as “The Fairy Tale” of wedding cars by many couples, the Beauford captures the spirit of 1930s glamour with sweeping wings, running boards, picnic trunk and a side-mounted spare wheel. Yet behind the vintage charm lies a modern engine and chassis, giving it the reliability today’s couples need on such an important day.
Hand-built in the UK since the late 1970s, each Beauford is slightly different, and that’s part of the appeal. From two-door to four-door versions, soft tops, hard roofs, many come in two-tone finishes with seating space that’s perfect for voluminous dresses.
What makes it so loved? It’s a romantic head-turner, easy to personalise, and it suits just about every wedding setting, from manor houses and countryside barns to art deco hotels.
For years the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was our most popular wedding car. Now the Beauford has taken the top spot, but the Cloud remains a timeless favourite with couples across the UK.
Built between 1955 and 1966 the Silver Cloud is the epitome of classic British luxury. With its long bonnet, flowing curves, gleaming chrome and elegant lines it brings a sense of sophistication to any wedding. Inside the cabin is just as impressive with hand stitched leather, polished wood trims and plenty of room for even the largest of wedding dresses or longest of trains.
Once the preserve of royalty, celebrities and dignitaries the Cloud has a rich history. John Lennon had his customised in psychedelic colours and many were coachbuilt by famous names like Mulliner Park Ward adding a bespoke touch to an already iconic car.
Couples love the Silver Cloud for its smooth ride and classic charm. Whether arriving at a manor house or gliding into the city it’s a car that brings a sense of occasion, elegance and timeless style to any wedding.
Another iconic British masterpiece, the Rolls-Royce Phantom holds the No.3 spot in our most booked wedding cars. It's easy to see why. The Phantom is the flagship of the Rolls-Royce range, and for couples who want to arrive in show-stopping style, it delivers unmatched presence and refinement.
First launched in 1925 (Yes! 100 years of Rolls-Royce Phantom) and re-born for the 21st century, the new Phantom is hand-built in Goodwood by over 60 skilled craftsmen. Every detail has been thought of, from the foam filled tyres that eliminate road noise to the 130kg of sound insulation that creates silence inside the car. The famous starlight headliner, made up of hundreds of fibre-optic lights, can even be personalised to match the night sky on your wedding day.
With its imposing grille, grand proportions and luxury like no other, the Phantom is chosen by couples who want the ultimate in comfort and drama. It’s not just a car. It’s a statement.
The Austin Princess Limousine is a true British classic and a long time favourite among couples looking for luxury and tradition. With its upright grille, sweeping lines and plenty of room inside, the Princess brings a regal feel to any wedding, especially when paired with traditional venues like churches, castles or grand halls.
Built from the late 1940s to the 1960s the Princess was often coach built to a high spec, with the most luxurious examples being built by Vanden Plas. These models had polished wood veneers, deep pile carpets and fine leather upholstery, making for a beautifully refined space for the bride, groom or bridal party.
One of its best features is the seating. Some models can take up to 7 people, making it perfect for bridesmaids or family members. Many have privacy partitions, folding bench seats and those classic two tone exteriors in ivory and black or silver – all of which add to the vintage charm.
Elegant, imposing and surprisingly practical the Austin Princess remains in the top 10 most popular wedding cars for couples looking for a classic British touch with plenty of space and sophistication.
A vintage Rolls-Royce is one of the 10 most popular wedding cars because it exudes elegance and luxury and has a timeless appeal. A vintage Rolls-Royce symbolises the best of British automative craftsmanship.
Rolls-Royce was founded in 1906 by Charles Rolls and Henry Royce and their cars soon became synonymous with excellence and innovation. Vintage models like the 20/25 Limousine or the Wraith were hand-built and their interior individually designed by coachbuilders such as J Gurney Nutting, Brewster & Co, Park Ward, and Hooper. A peep inside a vintage Rolls-Royce reveals how the cars were crafted using hand-stitched leather and polished wood veneers. Advanced engineering ensured that passengers enjoyed an exceptionally smooth, quiet ride. Each car proudly displayed the iconic silhouette of the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' on its bonnet.
These two are in the Top 10 wedding cars because they add personality, nostalgia and lots of fun to the wedding day! The Volkswagen (VW) Beetle was designed in the 1930s by Ferdinand Porsche who felt there was a need for a reliable, affordable vehicle. The Beetle’s rounded shape and cheerful iconic design made it an instant hit worldwide and over 21 million of the original design were produced.
The VW Campervan was launched in the 1940s as a versatile vehicle for travel and camping. It was soon viewed as a symbol of freedom and became a cult vehicle in the 1960s and 1970s and much loved by music festival fans.
Both vehicles have a playful, vintage vibe and bring a relaxed and fun feeling to weddings that is perfect for relaxed and Bohemian style weddings. Both vehicles are very photogenic and make a distinctive backdrop to wedding photos. The Campervan is chosen by many couples because it is associated with fun road trips and symbolises the couple starting a new life together
With the popular slogan ‘Standard of the World’ the Cadillac has always been the top American car for luxury and prestige. The Cadillac was first made in Detroit in 1902 and was named after the French explorer, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the state of Detroit in 1701. Early on, the Cadillac gained fame for its high manufacturing standards. The name ‘Cadillac’ has always represented innovation and scored many industry firsts including: the electric starter (1912), V8 engine(1915), synchromesh transmission(1928),power steering (1952) and automatic climate control in 1964.
The 1950s models of the Cadillac are iconic with huge tail fins and plenty of shiny chrome. They became symbols of American post-war prosperity and flamboyance. The Cadillac is a Top 10 most popular wedding car because its design is eye-catching and adds glamour to wedding photographs. Inside, most Cadillacs are large and luxurious and provide great comfort for the bride and groom- with a feeling of success and celebration on their big day
This beautiful car with its distinctive rounded body, chrome bumpers and wire wheels epitomises classic 1960s styling. This model of the Jaguar has a maximum speed of 125 mph and was the fastest saloon in the world in its day. With its iconic silhouette of a leaping jaguar on its bonnet, the car blended good performance with luxury comfort and soon earned the nickname ‘The Gentleman’s Express’.
The design of the Jaguar Mk II had evolved since the Jaguar Mk I, with larger windows, thinner pillars and more chrome. The Jaguar Mk II has secured a place in the Top 10 most popular wedding cars because it is the ideal choice for weddings with a classic theme and weddings with a venue in the British countryside.
Developed with weddings in mind, Imperial wedding cars have been built in the UK for the past 30 years. They are custom-built on classic chassis and styled on limousines from the 1920s-1930s. These beautiful cars are often convertibles – landaulette style – with large chrome headlamps, running boards and smart whitewall tyres.
Inside, the cabin interior is in leather, with wood trim and features extra wide doors that are perfect for brides with voluminous gowns and there is extra headroom for comfort.
To finish our Top 10 list, the classic London taxi cab takes its place — just missing 9th position by a few points. This famous and iconic British classic is instantly recognisable and full of charm.
With wide-opening doors, a spacious rear cabin and high seating capacity, they are surprisingly perfect for weddings. The most popular taxi cabs are the classic models in white or ivory, but traditional black taxi cabs are currently proving to be trendy wedding cars as well.
