Arriving in Your Style

Everyone has their shining moment. It is the one moment where they are the absolute focus of all eyes and the star of the show. For many men and women, that moment happens on their wedding day. This is why they feel they must arrive in style.

Of course style doesn’t always mean a limousine, gorgeous though they are. They can be just a little too expensive for most of us. But with a little creativity any couple can achieve an entrance worth recording for posterity.

A limousine may be out of the question but how about a carriage? Think of it as your moment to be Cinderella going to the royal ball. Hopefully, though, unlike Cinderella your carriage won’t become a pumpkin before your wedding is done. Carriage rides are classic, evoking memories of wondrous moments in days gone by. Arriving with a beautiful team of matched horses pulling your conveyance is also something to enjoy. Beauties carrying a beauty; that’s truly a sight to behold.

Some brides actually arrive with horses, but not in a carriage. They go their weddings on horseback, though usually the horses are merely walking not galloping. Can’t picture it? Imagine Julia Roberts in “Runaway Bride” with her beautiful flowing gown. This assumes, of course, that you like horses.

In some countries like Greece, the brides don’t arrive in a car at all. They walk to the church together with musicians and some of the guests. It is a wonderful parade of ceremony and music.

There are brides who love the pageantry of weddings. Some begin their walk with flair. They not only dress their attendants beautifully, in case of sunny weather, they equip them with parasols. This is especially useful if the wedding is being held outdoors with the sun beating down. The bridesmaids will look pretty and have some shade.

Getting married at the country club? Then it would make perfect sense to arrive in a golf cart, right? Many couples love these little cars. They make for a cosy ride just for two. It is perfect for golf enthusiasts.

A number of brides arrive at the venue for the ceremony way ahead of time. This is the case when the venue has a special room just for the entourage to use to prepare for the wedding. This helps ensure that every member of the entourage is all together in time for the start of the wedding.

If you can’t think of anything unique that you want to do for your entrance, don’t worry about it. Your groom and guests aren’t looking for a splashy opening act. They just want to see you arrive, all glowing, happy and excited. They are there to see you get married , not watch a show. Any personal touches you throw in to your special event are just embellishments to this momentous occasion.

Besides, when the music starts and you start walking down the aisle and your fiance sees you, it won’t matter if you arrived on a motorcycle, fishing boat or plane. He’ll just be happy you are there.
