If you can afford it or your family can afford it, Rent a Limosuine.
Sometimes the bride travels with her bridesmaids. It's really up to you as to what you want to do. I personally traveled with my fiance- now husband. I wish you the very best.

She should arrive with the woman in the wedding party: maid of honor, bridesmaids, mothers... That way all the women can easily get to the waiting room or dressing room provided at the site. They should get there about an hour or so before for any last minute changes and touch ups. Add another hour or so if they need to get dressed at the site. It also insures that the groom doesn't see the bride, since it's considered "bad luck".
The father should arrive with the other males in the wedding. Men don't usually need as long to prepare for the event. The groom and his attendants should be there at 20-30 minutes before the start time to get everybody seated, and do any last minute fixes to their own attire. If they are going to get dressed, than add another half hour or so.
If you are all going to be in seperate cars, then make sure you have at least the maid of honor or your mother to drive with you. There should be one person there from the time you wake up to help with all the wedding day details. If you are renting a limo or some other larger transportation, then have all the women gather at one location for pick up, and all the men at another.

Well, you can do it any way you want. On my wedding day, I rode to the church with my parents, in our family car. My bridesmaids all just got themselves there. I believe my husband drove his car there, and we left in our car from the church to the reception, and then from the reception to the hotel. We didn't rent limos, but if you have the extra cash for it, a limo rental would be a nice way to go. But this is an area there are no hard and fast rules, if you'd like to arrange transportation for the bridal party to the church/reception, then by all means do so. It does remove the whole "the best man is late" issue. But I would do it only if I could afford to, this is definitely a "frill" item. Best of luck to you!

For my best friend's wedding all us ladies in the bridal party rode to the church in the limo. After the ceremony, all the brides maids, all the grooms men, and the bride and groom rode in the limo together to the reception (although I don't think that is traditionally how its done).
If a limo is to expensive, and you don't want to ride in a family car - consider renting a sports car for the day. It's way cheaper than a limo, you get it for the entire day, and you can get a convertable mustang in red or white if you want. Just make sure you get a brother or cousin who is designated as the driver. The bride can ride in the rental with her maid of honor to the ceremony, and after that she can ride in the rental with her new hubby to the reception. Post reception the couple can use that to drive themselves off to their hotel (with the top down, of course!) :)
Also, if your family car is just too small and you want to be able to transport more than two or three people (IE a sports car) than rent an SUV for the day!
Good luck!

I went in an old vintage car to the church with my dad, mum and bridesmaid then we hired a double decker bus from the church to the reception for us and our guests. Cars/limos are surprising expensive to hire.

I would think the Maid of Honor would take you, or your parents. Congrats Gurly!!
