You can arrive in a modern Rolls-Royce Phantom, a vintage Silver Cloud or a stretch limo with your whole bridal party, and leave in a white convertible or a supercar with the top down.

Choosing the right white wedding car
- Arrival or getaway? The arrival calls for room in the back for the dress, so a Phantom, a Silver Cloud or a limo. The getaway is about the two of you, so a convertible or a sports car.
- Bright white or ivory? If your dress is ivory or champagne, a cream or ivory car can sit more softly beside it in photos than a brilliant white one. Look at each car’s photos with your dress in mind.
- How many are riding? A sedan carries the bride and one or two more. For bridesmaids or groomsmen, choose a limo.
- Classic or modern? Vintage cars bring romance; modern cars bring air conditioning and a smooth, quiet ride. Many couples book one of each.
The 10 best white wedding cars
1. Rolls-Royce Phantom: the grand arrival
The Phantom is Rolls-Royce’s flagship, and in white it’s the definitive modern wedding car. The rear doors open from the middle, so the bride can step out facing her guests, and the cabin is quiet enough that she arrives as composed as she left.
Best for: the bride’s arrival at the ceremony. See all Rolls-Royce rentals.
2. 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom: vintage limousine
Long before today’s Phantom, the name crowned Rolls-Royce’s grandest cars. This 1961 Phantom is a vintage limousine with sweeping fenders and a tall chrome grille, the kind of car that makes a wedding feel like a royal occasion.
Best for: the bride with her father or maid of honor.
3. 1960 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud: the timeless classic
If you picture a vintage wedding car, you probably picture a Silver Cloud. Rolls-Royce built it from 1955 to 1966, and its flowing fenders and upright grille still define the look. In white with whitewall tires, it’s pure romance.
Best for: classic, vintage and church weddings. More in our top 10 classic Rolls-Royce wedding cars.
4. Vintage Rolls-Royce convertible: the classic getaway
A white Rolls-Royce with the top down is one of the most beautiful ways to leave a wedding. It has the long hood and chrome of a classic, and an open cabin for waving to your guests.
Best for: the getaway and couple’s portraits.
5. Rolls-Royce Dawn: the modern convertible
The Dawn is Rolls-Royce’s modern four-seat convertible, with the comfort of a new car and a soft top that folds away quietly. In white, it’s made for golden-hour photos and a top-down drive to the reception.
Best for: sunset portraits and a modern getaway.
6. Bentley Continental GT convertible
The Continental GT convertible pairs British luxury with real performance. It’s a car for newlyweds who love to drive in style, and in white it looks crisp beside a bouquet.
Best for: the getaway and a drive to the after-party.
7. Ferrari Portofino: the glamorous getaway
The Portofino is Ferrari’s folding-hardtop grand tourer, and this one is painted Bianco Avus, one of Ferrari’s whites, with a red interior. It’s glamorous, it’s fast, and it makes an exit nobody forgets.
Best for: a glamorous getaway and the groom’s arrival.
8. Lamborghini Huracán Spyder: the getaway everyone films
For a getaway your guests will be filming on their phones, choose the Huracán. Low, wide and loud in the best way, the Spyder drops its roof for the newlyweds’ send-off.
Best for: the getaway. See exotic car rental.
9. Cadillac Escalade stretch limo: the whole bridal party
For the bride and all her bridesmaids, or the groom and his groomsmen, a white Escalade stretch limo carries up to 18 in one vehicle, with limo seating, lighting and sound inside, so the whole party arrives together.
Best for: the bridal party. See Escalade limo rental.
10. Lincoln Town Car stretch limo: the classic limo
The white Lincoln Town Car stretch is the limousine most of us picture, and for good reason: it’s elegant, comfortable, and seats up to 8, just right for the bride and her bridesmaids.
Best for: the bride and her bridesmaids. See limo rental.
Three more white favorites
- A 1977 Volkswagen Beetle convertible for boho, garden and vineyard weddings.
- A white Mercedes-AMG G63 for a groom and his groomsmen who want something bold.
- A Chrysler 300 limo with jet doors for up to 14 and an entrance with doors that lift up.
Tips for a white wedding car
- Book the photos for soft light. White cars glare in harsh midday sun. Late afternoon and golden hour make them glow.
- Add ribbons and flowers. A white car is the perfect canvas for a satin ribbon or a floral garland. Ask when you book.
- Plan the getaway separately. A stately car for the arrival and a convertible for the exit gives you two different looks in the photos. Our getaway car guide has more ideas.
