Your wedding car is one of the first things your guests will see, and the last thing you’ll remember as you drive away into your new life together. So choosing between a shiny supercar and a classic luxury saloon is a bigger decision than it might seem.

At JD Prestige Cars, we’ve helped thousands of couples arrive in style across London, Essex, and the UK. And one of the questions we get asked most often is: “Should we go for something classic, or something a bit more unexpected?”

Here’s our honest guide to help you decide. 

Why More Couples Are Choosing Supercars for Their Wedding

There was a time when wedding car hire meant one thing: a gleaming white Rolls Royce gliding up to the church. And while that’s still a beautiful choice, today’s couples are thinking differently.

More and more brides and grooms are arriving in Ferrari wedding cars, Lamborghini hire, and Aston Martins, and for good reason. A supercar makes a statement that no saloon can quite match. It says we don’t do things half-ars*d.

If your wedding has a modern, fashion-forward aesthetic (think bold florals, contemporary venues, or an editorial shoot vibe) a supercar might be the perfect fit.

The Case for a Classic Luxury Saloon

That said, there’s a reason the Rolls Royce Phantom and Bentley Flying Spur remain the most popular wedding cars in the UK. They offer something supercars simply can’t: space, serenity, and a sense of occasion that feels genuinely timeless.

A luxury saloon is ideal if:

• You’re wearing a full ballgown and need room to breathe
• You want your arrival to feel elegant and graceful, not headline-grabbing
• You’re bringing a parent or bridesmaid with you
• Your venue is a country manor, stately home, or traditional church

The Rolls Royce Ghost, Bentley Mulsanne, and Rolls Royce Cullinan are all firm favourites for weddings where sophistication is the priority.

Key Questions to Ask Yourself

1. What’s the overall vibe of your wedding? A supercar suits contemporary, relaxed, or fashion-led weddings. A saloon suits classic, formal, or traditional celebrations.

2. What are you wearing? A fitted suit or sleek dress? A supercar looks incredible. A full skirt or detailed gown? A spacious saloon is the more practical (and photogenic) choice.

3. How important are the photos? Both look stunning in wedding photography, but differently. Supercars photograph best from the outside, low, dramatic, powerful. Saloons give you that iconic interior shot, with the couple framed in the back seat.

4. Is it just the two of you, or are others travelling with you? Most supercars are two-seater vehicles, so they work best when the couple travels together. If you need to transport a bridesmaid or parent, a luxury saloon or chauffeur-driven SUV like the Rolls Royce Cullinan gives you more flexibility.

5. What’s your venue’s access like? Narrow country lanes, cobblestone driveways, and tight turns are something to consider with low-profile supercars. Our team will always advise on the best option for your specific venue.

You Don’t Have to Choose Just One

Here’s something many couples don’t realise: you can have both. A popular option with our clients is to hire a luxury saloon for the bride (giving her the graceful, spacious arrival she deserves), while the groom arrives separately in a supercar. 

We can arrange multiple vehicles for the same wedding, and our team will help you coordinate timings and logistics so everything runs smoothly.
