Price Make sure you choose a car which is within your budget. If you don't have the money for a James Bond-style Aston Martin, you can still hire a great wedding car for a good price if you shop around.

Colour The bride should be the main attraction, so she's not going to be happy if the car is the same colour as her dress and she merges into the background. If the bride is wearing a white or light coloured dress, a dark coloured car should be chosen to show off the bride.

Number of people There's no point in booking a stunning wedding car if it isn't practical. Make sure your car has enough room to seat the number of people travelling and has adequate head and door space; the bride isn't going to look glamorous squeezing out of a tiny door.

Accessories Your car hire package should usually include: an umbrella, uniformed chauffeur and wedding insurance cover. Check what you're getting included when booking a wedding car.

How many? Do you just want a car to escort the bride to the church? Or can you afford to splash out on matching his and hers cars for the bride and groom to arrive in style?

Recommendations To make sure you get the perfect wedding car for your big day, ask friends or family who have recently got married whether they can recommend a good company. Your photographer may also be able to put you in touch with a reliable wedding car company.

Check Make sure you have a good look at the car(s) you're renting before committing yourself. Make sure it matches the photos you've seen on the company's website or brochure.
