Welcome back to our eighth spectacular Wanwisa Wednesday! Be sure to check out Part I, II, III, IV, V, VI and VII Enjoy~

Sometimes the best thing about getting from point A to point B is the journey itself. If your reception site is not on the same premises as your ceremony venue, try transporting your guests in a unique way to make the journey fun! Otherwise, think about transportation needs for your big day as something that you can get really creative with – make that grand entrance, treat your wedding party to a gondola or hay ride, or get your out-of-town guests to the church in Double Decker tour buses… whatever you do, have fun and let my board inspire you! Also, check out a list of vendors and some more inspiring ideas from Brides.com!

    I *adore* this post. I’m a transit planner, so this is my nerdy cup of tea!For our wedding, our only "getaway" will be a walk across the street, so I got my love for "Just Married" transportation out of my system on my blog awhile back with a getaway tribute. :-)The canoes especially make me swoon… and the rickshaws! So fun!

    Being a Kentucky girl, I LOVE the horse and carriage!

    Great ideas! So cute. I love the idea of transporting everyone — not just the bride and groom!

    Really cool stuff. We tried to keep the wedding and the celebration in the same location to reduce the amount of logistics. But really cool.ChuckTheWeddingLens.com

    melanie, who is your dress by???

  27. avatar melanie reply

    hi koandpo – my dress is by Angelina Faccenda, purchased at RK Bridal in Manhattan. i loved how it was so simple, nothing flashy, but the pleating gave it interest and structure. the root beer truck was actually made, yes MADE by Gavin’s cousin a couple years ago. He owns a few A&W shops and wanted to have something to take on the road. It was so fun to have this portable root beer float station! not to mention the colors matched the wedding! haha

We love this fresh vibrant color palate and those bridesmaid dresses!  The amazing floral design was created by {Adornment Flowers}.  Take a look at the groom’s boutonnière and the bride’s bouquet.  Special thanks to photographer {Cameron Ingalls Inc.} for sharing these with us.  Check back later for Part II.
