Something Old, Something Blue: Incorporating Classic Cars into Modern Weddings

Weddings are the perfect mix of old traditions and new memories. And when it comes to blending “something old” with a whole lot of style, classic cars are the ultimate showstopper. Whether you're going for romantic, whimsical, or full-on retro vibes, arriving (or leaving!) in a timeless ride adds a personal, unforgettable flair to your big day. At Dreamy Dubs, we've seen couples light up when they see a classic car in their wedding photos, or when they take their first newlywed cruise with the windows down and the wind in their hair.

Why Classic Cars?

There’s just something magical about a classic car. Maybe it’s the craftsmanship, the nostalgia, or the undeniable cool factor, but classic vehicles have a way of turning heads and sparking conversations. They’re not just a mode of transportation—they’re part of the story. For couples, that can feel deeply meaningful: something beautiful, old, and enduring, just like the vows you’re about to make.

Make an Entrance to Remember

Picture this: your guests turn to look down the aisle, and instead of stepping out of a standard black SUV or rented limo, you glide up in a perfectly restored classic car, beaming through the window. It's a moment people won’t forget—and it sets the tone for a wedding that’s anything but ordinary. Classic cars give you the chance to make an entrance that reflects your style, whether you're into quirky, boho, vintage glam, or laid-back elegance. And if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or a desert elopement, the backdrop of a dreamy car against natural scenery makes the scene even more stunning.

Built-In Photo Op

Let's be honest: half the fun of weddings today is the photos (and we’re not judging!). Classic cars make for incredible photo ops. They’re not just props; they’re characters in your wedding story. Whether you’re cuddled up in the front seat, sharing a kiss by the bumper, or waving goodbye with “Just Married” strung across the back window, these moments feel candid and cinematic all at once. Plus, classic cars pair beautifully with all kinds of wedding aesthetics from desert-chic to garden-romance.

The Dreamiest Getaway Ride

There’s something so romantic about leaving your wedding in a classic car. It's that movie moment—the confetti, the cheers, the quiet drive just the two of you before the after-party begins. With some ribbon on the mirror, a bouquet on the hood, or a handmade “Just Married” sign hanging off the back, your getaway car becomes part of the celebration. Bonus: it gives you a moment to catch your breath together and soak it all in, before jumping back into the buzz of the night.

A Fresh Spin on “Something Old” and “Something Blue”

You’ve probably heard the tradition: “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” A classic car can check more than one of those boxes! If you're riding off in a baby-blue Beetle (hint: we have one of those!), you’re nailing both the “old” and the “blue” in one incredibly photogenic package. It’s a meaningful, playful nod to tradition, and a way to weave a little extra personality into your day.

Tips for Making It Seamless

• Pick a Car That Fits Your Vibe: Think about your theme, your outfits, and even your color palette.
  

• Plan Photo Moments: Let your photographer know ahead of time that you'll have a classic car, and brainstorm some photo ideas together. Golden hour light and a shiny car? Magic.
  

• Book Early: Seriously—classic cars are in high demand, especially during peak wedding season. If you’ve got your eye on a specific one, snag it early.
