1-2 Months Before

• Finalize and book your wedding car with written confirmation
• Pay the advance (typically 30-50%)

Wedding Day

Decoration Options

Fresh Flower Decoration

Cost: ₹3,000-8,000 | Flowers Used: Roses, marigolds, jasmine, orchids | Lasts: 6-8 hours in winter, 3-4 hours in summer

The most popular option. Fresh flowers are arranged on the bonnet, roof edges, door handles, and inside the cabin. Roses and marigolds are most common. White roses with baby's breath create an elegant Western look, while orange marigolds create a traditional Indian aesthetic.

Ribbon and Bow Decoration

Cost: ₹1,500-3,000 | Lasts: All day

Satin ribbons, tulle bows, and decorative elements. More durable than flowers, especially in summer weddings. Works well combined with minimal fresh flower accents.

Premium Decoration Package

Cost: ₹8,000-15,000 | Includes: Premium flowers, ribbons, LED lights, personalized name plates, inside cabin decoration

Full treatment for the perfect Instagram-worthy wedding car. Includes coordinated colors matching your wedding theme.

• How many hours does the booking include? What is the charge for extra hours?

Pro Tips for Wedding Car Success

• Summer weddings: Choose ribbon/artificial decoration over fresh flowers. Flowers wilt quickly in 35°C+ heat
• Photography: Schedule 15-20 minutes for car photos. Best time: golden hour (1 hour before sunset)
• Color coordination: Match the car color and decoration with your wedding outfit. White car + red roses for traditional, black car + white flowers for modern
• Multiple cars: Book the main wedding car + a backup SUV for family. Some couples also book a separate car for the baraat band
• Route planning: Give the driver the exact route including any baraat procession path. Do a trial run if the venue is in a narrow lane area
• Emergency kit: Keep a small kit in the car: safety pins, tissues, water bottles, stain remover, phone charger

Real Wedding Car Booking Mistakes (From Our Experience)

After arranging 500+ wedding car bookings since 2015, we have seen every possible scenario. Here are real mistakes couples have made and how to avoid them:

• Last-minute booking: A couple booked a Mercedes E-Class 3 days before the wedding. The only available car was a 2018 model with minor scratches - visible in every photo. Book 2-3 months early to get the exact car you want
• Ignoring parking: A family booked a vintage car without checking if it could navigate the narrow lanes to the temple venue. The car got stuck 500 metres away. Always share venue details with the vendor and ask about lane width
• Fresh flowers in summer: Roses wilted before the bride even entered the car at a May wedding. In summer weddings (April-June), choose ribbon decoration or artificial flowers that last all day
• No backup plan: One car broke down on the wedding morning with no replacement available. Always confirm the vendor's backup vehicle policy in writing

Complete Wedding Transport Planning

The bride and groom's car is just one part of wedding transport. Here is a complete wedding transport checklist:

• Bridal car: Decorated luxury vehicle for the bride's entry and vidaai. Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, or vintage car (₹15,000-50,000)
• Groom's baraat vehicle: Open-top vehicle or decorated SUV for the procession. Fortuner or Thar work well (₹8,000-15,000)
• Family transport: Tempo travellers for 15-20 family members to travel between venues (₹4,000-8,000)
• Guest shuttle: For destination weddings, shuttle service between hotel and venue in 20-26 seater buses
• Airport transfers: Pick up outstation guests from the airport with name boards

Frequently Asked Questions

How early should I book the wedding car?

For popular dates (November-February wedding season), book 3-4 months in advance. Luxury cars like Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series are limited in supply, and peak wedding dates (auspicious muhurat days) see extremely high demand. A ₹5,000 advance locks in your vehicle.

Do you provide cars for destination weddings?

Yes. We regularly provide wedding car fleets for destination weddings in Jaipur, Udaipur, and other Rajasthan cities. For destination weddings, we recommend booking the complete transport package: bridal car, guest shuttles, and airport transfers. We handle inter-city vehicle logistics so you do not have to.
