The 10 Best Silver Wedding Cars, From Silver Clouds to Supercars

Silver has been a wedding color for a long time. Rolls-Royce’s famous “Silver” names go back to the Silver Ghost of 1907, a car painted in aluminum paint with silver-plated fittings, and the Silver Cloud that followed decades later became a classic vintage wedding car. Silver is elegant without being stark, it photographs softly on a gray day as well as a sunny one, and it’s the natural choice for a silver-and-white wedding or a 25th-anniversary vow renewal. Here are the ten best silver wedding cars you can book through our wedding car rental service, from vintage Rolls-Royces and a 1940s Jaguar to modern convertibles and supercars.

The ten at a glance

Why choose a silver wedding car

• It’s timeless. Silver suits vintage cars and modern cars equally well, so it works for any style of wedding.
• It photographs softly. Silver doesn’t glare like white or show every reflection like black, and it looks lovely on overcast days.
• It ties in with your colors. Silver, gray and white color schemes, winter weddings and sparkle all suit a silver car.
• It’s the anniversary color. The 25th anniversary is the silver anniversary, so a silver car is perfect for a vow renewal.

The 10 best silver wedding cars

1. Vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud: the classic bride’s car

The Silver Cloud, built from 1955 to 1966, is the car most people picture when they hear “vintage wedding car”. In silver, with the Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood and the chrome grille, it looks every bit the part beside a bride and groom.

Best for: the bride’s arrival and classic couple portraits.

2. 1958 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud I

The Silver Cloud I was the first of the line, and this 1958 car wears a soft metallic silver. It’s graceful and calm, and beautiful against stone buildings, gardens and old trees.

Best for: silver-and-white weddings. See our top 10 classic Rolls-Royce wedding cars.

3. 1957 Bentley S1

The Bentley S1 is the Silver Cloud’s twin, with the same body and a Bentley grille. This one has a dark roof over a silver body, the two-tone look of a 1950s film star’s car.

Best for: vintage and old Hollywood weddings.

4. 1946 Jaguar Mark IV

After the war, Jaguar put its elegant pre-war saloons back into production, and collectors now call them the Mark IV. This 1946 car, in silver-gray with flowing fenders and big chrome headlamps, is pure British charm, and it looks wonderful under blossom or in a country garden.

Best for: garden, countryside and spring weddings.

5. Rolls-Royce Dawn: the modern getaway

The Dawn is Rolls-Royce’s modern four-seat convertible. In silver, with the roof folded away, it’s an elegant way to leave the reception, and it has the comfort of a new car.

Best for: the getaway and golden-hour portraits.

6. Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The Cullinan is Rolls-Royce’s SUV. It sits higher than a sedan, so the bride steps in and out without folding herself into a low seat, which makes a big difference in a full gown.

Best for: ball gowns and long trains. See Rolls-Royce rental.

7. Mercedes-Maybach S580, two-tone

Maybach is the most luxurious Mercedes-Benz, and its two-tone paint is a signature. This S580 in two shades of gray is sleek and modern, with a rear cabin built for being driven.

Best for: a sleek, modern arrival. See luxury car rental.

8. Bentley Arnage R

The Arnage was Bentley’s big luxury sedan of the 2000s: long, stately and very British. In silver, it’s a refined choice for couples who want classic luxury without a vintage car.

Best for: understated, elegant weddings.

9. Aston Martin Vantage: the James Bond getaway

An Aston Martin is the James Bond car, and a gray Vantage is as cool as it gets. It’s the getaway for a couple who want style, speed and a little drama.

Best for: the getaway. See sports car rental.

10. Lamborghini Huracán Spyder: the unforgettable exit

For the most dramatic getaway, choose a Huracán Spyder in gray with the roof down. Your guests will remember the sound as much as the sight.

Best for: the getaway. See exotic car rental.

• For a vow renewal, a vintage Silver Cloud on your silver anniversary is a lovely nod to the day.
