Brides choosing cute and quirky cars

The humble Fiat 500 has been named the top wedding car of choice as loved-up couples seek to save money on their big day while still having stunning photos.

The Italian made supermini is popular around the world with couples planning an affordable but memorable wedding day, researchers for StressFreeCarRental.com found.

Traditional limousines and vintage cars are now not so popular on Instagram, with more affordable, less ostentatious vehicles becoming increasingly popular.

Researchers found rising wedding costs and increased cost of living were factors in the trend away from expensive wedding cars towards more affordable and distinctly quirky vehicle choices.

Small compact cars and quirky retro camper vans now make up the majority of Instagram’s top posts with the #WeddingCars hashtag.

Compact cars such as The Fiat 500, Mini, Citroen 2CV and even the tiny Smart Car all feature on social media posts highlighting wedding vehicles.

The top quirky wedding cars on Instagram, as identified by StressFreeCarRental.com experts, are:

1. Fiat 500
2. VW Beetle
3. Mini
4. VW Camper van
5. Citroen 2CV
6. Renault 4
7. Smart Car

A spokesman for StressFreeRental.com who carried out the research, said: “When it comes to choosing a wedding car it has always been traditional for couples to hire large impressive vehicles to turn up at the venue in style and wow their guests.

“Social media used to be full of images of stretch limos and top marque vehicles transporting brides and grooms to and from their dream weddings.

 “But there’s now a growing trend for couples to choose less flashy cars and instead they’re opting for cute and quirky cars as well as vehicles like camper vans that can add a really unique touch to a wedding and make it memorable for all the guests.

“The Fiat 500 is top of the pack when it comes to an affordable choice that also makes an adorable prop for wedding photos.”
