12 Creative Wedding Getaway Vehicles (That Aren't Limos)

While stretch limousines make for fun wedding photo ops, guess what else could too? A hot air balloon or a propeller jet, to start. Depending on your taste and budget, there are tons of getaway vehicles that'll wow your guests—here are 12 imaginative ways to make a grand exit in style. 

A Vintage Bus

Having a throwback-inspired day? They might be retro, but Volkswagen buses will never get old. Hop in one to peace out in style from your vintage-style reception. 

A Rustic Pickup Truck

Carrie Patterson Photography

There's something so nostalgic about a clanging trail of tin cans. A garland of greenery freshens up this timeless touch.

A Cute Carriage

Archetype Studio Inc.

For couples who want to have traditional transportation with an elegant twist, a horse-drawn carriage is the perfect choice. Plus, it'll enhance a regal theme (just make sure your venue allows animals on property). If you want to go all out, consider a majestic glass carriage option or an enclosed coach carriage. 

A Perfect Pedicab

WEDDING PHOTOJOURNALISM BY RODNEY BAILEY

Perfect for city weddings, pedicabs often line the streets of downtown areas. If you and your photographer are feeling spontaneous, hailing and riding in one can make for memorable photos—not to mention the chance to show off an impressive urban skyline. 

A Hot Air Balloon

If neither of you are afraid of heights, taking an intimate hot air balloon ride is a breathtaking way to leave your daytime reception. Besides being a unique send-off, it's also a great photo op all of your guests will enjoy. 

A Bicycle Built for Two

Sporty couples who love biking together can take a spin on a bicycle—a perfectly whimsical way to travel. Decorate the handlebars with flowers or streamers in your wedding colors, and if your day has a throwback vibe, rent a vintage bicycle or tandem.

A Watery Getaway

Is your wedding ceremony or reception taking place on the water? Make a splash (literally) with a boat entrance or exit. Whether it's a speedboat, canoe, rowboat, kayak, pontoon or even a yacht, being on the water together will add a festive nautical vibe to the day.

A Propeller Jet Parting

ANNA SHACKLEFORD

For the couple who loves to make a statement, a propeller jet ride is an insanely cool exit or entrance. (Look in your area for small aircrafts for hire.) Just think of all the photo opportunities you'll have with the fold-out staircase and airport runway.

An Antique Car

To add a dose of glam, roll out of your venue in a vintage car—it's a special way to end the day. You can decorate it with traditional signs and streamers, or let the car speak for itself if it's exceptionally cool. It doesn't have to be an expensive rental either—if there's a special older car in the family, your wedding is the perfect time to take it for a spin.

A Chic Golf Cart

Getting married at a country club with a golf course or within a golf course community? For a playful mode of transportation, try rolling away on a golf cart. You can attach a "just married" sign on the back and streamers to the columns in front. 

A Sleek Chopper

It'll take some coordination with your venue, but if you have access to a helicopter pad, nothing will feel (or look) cooler than waving goodbye to your guests from above. 

A Simple Yellow Cab

If your wedding's taking place in a thriving metropolis, a simple yellow cab (that still feels cool and cosmopolitan) could be all you need to exit your reception on a high note.
