Sadie, Ruby, Dolly or Molly?

Last week we blogged about the idea of having a beautifully quirky, coastal wedding with Lovelane Caravans. This week we're keeping with a transport theme & want to introduce you to Champagne Classics.

Champagne Classics is a wedding car hire company with a difference. They have four stunning, classic cars available for hire & each one has it's own name!

They have an ivory 1961 Morris Minor called Sadie

A burgundy 1961 convertible Morris Minor called Ruby

A snow white 1962 convertible Morris Minor called Molly

& a pastel white 1970 Volkswagen Beetle saloon called Dolly.

Champagne Classics operates in Norfolk, Suffolk & the surrounding counties & is run by Vanessa & Rob, two people with a passion for Morris Minors!

Their website is full of testimonials from happy couples & of photographs of their special days.
