The Silver Cloud: a classic Rolls-Royce for your wedding day
Rolls-Royce built the Silver Cloud from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s, in three series. The first had a six-cylinder engine, the Silver Cloud II was given a V8, and the Silver Cloud III is recognisable by its double headlights at the front. All three have the long bonnet with the rectangular grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, and wings that run back in one flowing line.
As a wedding car, the Silver Cloud is a classic choice that suits a formal wedding. It looks stately without being showy, and suits a church, a castle or a historic town hall. Many couples choose it because it gives exactly the picture that belongs with a traditional wedding: the bride stepping out of a large, gleaming car.
Series II and III
The Silver Cloud II and III date from the 1960s and have the smooth V8. The Silver Cloud III, with its four headlights, is the final version and is seen by many as the most elegant.
Space and comfort for the bride and groom
The Silver Cloud is a roomy four-door saloon. In the back is a wide bench seat with plenty of legroom, ideal for the happy couple. The doors open wide and the seat sits at a comfortable height, so the bride can step out upright.
Dress and train
This is one of the best classic cars for a full dress. The skirt fits on the wide bench seat, and a long train sits well in the deep footwell at the back. A high hairstyle or veil has plenty of room under the roof.
Driving in a classic Rolls-Royce
The Silver Cloud drives smoothly and quietly for its age, but it remains a classic car without modern air conditioning. On a warm day the windows can be opened. It is large and heavy, so in a narrow town centre or a busy car park it is wise to arrange a fixed drop-off spot.
Because the Silver Cloud is long and wide, it is a good idea to check beforehand whether it can turn around on the venue's grounds and whether there is a paved spot to stop.
Photo moments and arrival
The entrance at the ceremony is the moment for this car. Have the Silver Cloud pull up at the entrance, with the rear door on the photographer's side. A tree-lined drive or a castle with a moat also makes a strong backdrop. A classic ribbon over the bonnet to the Spirit of Ecstasy and white flowers suit its style well.
Agree with the rental company how the arrival will go. A Rolls-Royce of this age calls for an unhurried entrance: the car stops, someone opens the rear door and the bride steps out while the guests watch. Run through that moment briefly with the photographer, so that they are standing in the right place.
If you would like to compare other models from the brand, you will find them at the Rolls-Royce wedding cars, including the later Silver Shadow II. The Silver Cloud had a twin at Bentley: the Bentley S1.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud as a wedding car?
The lowest price currently online is € 695 per day. The final price depends on the duration, the distance, whether a chauffeur is included and the date; demand is highest in the wedding season and on Saturdays. Every car shows its starting price, and when you request a quote you get a price for your own day.
Can you hire a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud as a wedding car with a chauffeur?
Of the 3 wedding cars currently online, 2 can be hired with a chauffeur and 1 as self-drive. With a chauffeur you do not have to think about parking, the route or the time, and the couple sit together in the back. Self-drive gives you freedom, but do ask about the deposit, the insurance and the minimum age. Every car page shows what is possible.
How do you recognise a Silver Cloud III?
The Silver Cloud III has two headlamps on each side, four in total. The first and second series have a single large headlamp on each side. From the side they look almost identical, with the long bonnet and flowing wings. For your photos it hardly matters: all three are stately and instantly recognisable.
Will a ball gown fit in a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud?
Yes, this is one of the roomiest classic cars for a full dress. The rear doors open wide, the seat is broad and there is plenty of legroom. Sit down, swing your legs in and ask someone to pass you the skirt. A long train fits in the footwell without getting creased. There is also enough headroom for a tall veil.
Can I decorate the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine?
A ribbon running from the mirrors or the window pillars to the figurine is a classic choice and widely used. Attach it with soft fabric and never with tape or wire, as the figurine and the chrome are delicate. Many Rolls-Royce rental companies fit the ribbons themselves and have set rules about what is allowed. So do ask about it.
Is a Silver Cloud suitable for a one-hour journey?
A well-maintained Silver Cloud drives smoothly and comfortably, so an hour on the road is no problem for the car. The pace is leisurely, though, and there is no air conditioning. Allow some extra time so there is no need to rush along the way, and choose a route along country roads rather than a busy motorway. That also makes for better photos.
