A fairy tale wedding

How do you define a "fairy tale wedding car"? Well, I am sure most prospective wedding couples wouldn’t want a grim wedding carriage! However, we can probably thank the Brothers Grim for practically defining the fairy tale genre. Their now legendary collection of fairy tales include; Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Hansel and Gretel. Surely, many a fairy tale bride would want her prince to carry her off on a beautiful stead? Modern life, as it is doesn’t favour the horse, especially in London’s streets. However with a little imagination, you could get your fairy tale wedding, in a fairy tale wedding car.

Defining the Fairy Tale wedding car

The stories of Cinderalla, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White define the DNA makeup of the fairy tale princess and the handsome prince. The fairy tale bride and groom require a stately, royal wedding carriage to complete the look. Timeless and classic, today, there really are only two vehicle makers that craft vehicles fit for young princes and princesses. Both are now owned by German companies, which would mean even the Grimm Brothers would approve. Britains will still rejoice in the fact that they are still hand-crafted in England. I am referring to Rolls-Royce and Bentley. Of course many a dashing prince would choose an Aston Martin or another low-slung supercar, but just try squeezing a princess like wedding gown into a Ferrari, Bugatti or Lamborghini. Fine for the honeymoon drive possibly, but not for the wedding day!

Rolls-Royce Wedding Car

The Rolls-Royce wedding car is about as good as they come. Described as the "best car in the world", Rolls-Royce is the car that says you have made it. No other car comes close to it in terms of regality and stately poise. You don’t get driven in a Rolls-Royce, you are wafted along like fairy dust. Even the Rolls-Royce mascot helps complete the look. The Spirit of Ecstasy sails through the air as if by magic, her magic carpet is the silky smooth Rolls. There are many grand old Rolls-Royces being used as wedding cars. However, the new generation of Rolls-Royce, namely the Phantom is the fairy tale wedding car. If you ever get the chance to ride in one, you will know what I am talking about. Complete strangers will cric and strain necks to even get a glimpse of who ever is lucky enough to be cushioned inside. Luxurious, stately and refined this is the wedding car of choice for any fairy tale bride and groom.

Bentley

Hold on to your horses, and clasp your glass slippers. The fairy tale wedding car race is hotting up. Bentley is a marque of distinction that many a royal head of state will be very familiar with. Our very own Queen’s state vehicle is a Bentley. The Bentley is also a car that will be as endearing to the fairy tale groom as well as the bride. If you are looking for horse power fit for a dashing prince, then the Bentley is well qualified to set the senses racing. The Bentley Continental Flying Spur, has more power than even the most magical of magicians and witches. It also has an interior as large as the stately Rolls, and as beautiful as any fairy tale palace. Likewise, the Bentley Arnage has as much presence as your favourite fairy tale character. Large and imposing, fit for prince and princesses, and of course the all important bride and groom.

And the fairy tale bride and groom, lived happily ever after…
