Decorating the wedding car can be a lot of fun. Here’s how to enhance it without going overboard, and where you can get those all-important car ribbons, stickers, signs and other accessories to create a wedding car that is unique and special for the happy couple on their big day.

For the ceremony
An elegant classic look is best for the car before the wedding, something understated and in keeping with the tone of the service. Ivory or coloured ribbons, flowers and bows elegantly tied to the car are a great touch but do try not to overdo it, remember sometimes ‘less is more’. Decorate the car in your wedding colour scheme with a bow or ribbon the same colour as the bridesmaids dresses or in a neutral shade such as white, ivory, silver or gold.

For the reception and after
This is where the fun really begins and you and can get creative with a classic ‘Just Married’ sign or have one personalised especially for the happy couple. Go wild with decorative ribbons, love hearts and flowers as long as you’re sure they will like that. Remember that safety comes first though. Don’t decorate the car in any way that could endanger the newlyweds. Don’t block the driver’s view with window dressing or obstruct the tyres with too much tied to the back of the car.

Ribbons can be used before and after the ceremony. They should probably be at least 2 inches thick or they might be too thin to make an impression. After the ceremony, you could stream them from the back of the car to add to the effect.
Flowers are perfect tied to the bonnet, on the roof, or simply to decorate the inside of the car. Write on the car windscreens, with the permission of the car owner, for an extra special finishing touch. Without blocking any views, write the names of the newlyweds on the back window with love hearts all around. And no wedding car would be complete without tin cans on a string tied to the rear bumper of the car…

Wedding car decorations wouldn’t be complete without a ‘Just Married’ sign, and these come in various forms. It could be a licence plate with ‘Just Married’ on it, a bumper sticker, a window sticker, or even just something written on the back window with a liquid chalk wedding marker.
