How to decorate guest cars for a wedding. Decoration of a wedding procession, ideas with photos and videos. Decorating cars with ribbons

Oh, this wedding, wedding, wedding!..

Rings on the roof, flowers on the hood, balloons and flowing bright ribbons - all this is a wedding procession that not only pleases the newlyweds themselves, but also brings smiles to all passers-by without exception.

Just like many years ago, the wedding procession is the main decoration of the wedding.

Only before, the bride and groom showed themselves in all their glory on carts drawn by horses with bells under the arc, and now new iron horses are racing the happy newlyweds.

There are special companies where you can rent a car for a wedding. And most likely they will offer you a related service - registration of a wedding car. To agree or not?

Let's look into the intricacies of the issue...

The first option (and probably the simplest) is to agree to have the car decorated by specialists.

But there are pitfalls here too.

If you don’t care what or how the car will be decorated, then you can only express general wishes, they say, let the car be light (or dark), and the ribbons and flowers be pink (or white).

But, believe me, it happens that a car drives up to the young couple’s house, and, as they say, online the driver starts screwing on rings and making flowers on the hood. It’s good if he has enough imagination and wire.

Therefore, I strongly advise you not to leave the decoration of your wedding car to chance, even if you order the service from a company. Fix in the contract everything from the type of decoration to the color of balloons and ribbons.

Option two (not the easiest, but at least budget-friendly) is to decorate the bride and groom’s wedding car (or guests’ cars) yourself.

This is where your imagination can run wild! And in order for everything to work out, you need to take into account the following several nuances.

In both cases, you need to decide in advance which decorative elements to choose. And we will try to help with this decision.

What are wedding cars decorated with?

Traditionally this is

• Rings
• Ribbons
• Bows and bows
• Flowers (live and artificial)
• Hearts
• Bear cubs
• Dolls
• Veil and hat

There are two rings on the hood - not an easy decoration!

Rings - a symbol of the newlyweds - are the most important attribute of decorating a wedding car.

They can be mounted both on the hood and on the roof of the car - whatever you like. And the color can also be different: gold, silver or even white. Focus on your taste, the color of the car and the overall design.

Rings can be entwined with ribbons and decorated with flowers. It happens that inlay with stones is also ordered... But you can leave it as is, especially since you will have plenty of places to decorate the car.

Decorative rings for a car can be purchased or rented from a company specializing in wedding accessories.

Magic garden or how to decorate a wedding car with flowers

Roof, hood, rings, car handles - flowers look great everywhere.

Which ones to choose – live or artificial?

Do not rush to reject the latter - modern industry makes them practically indistinguishable from their living counterparts, and their lifespan and resistance to weather and wind (after all, your motorcade will not move at the speed of a bicycle!) is much higher.

Fresh flowers are good, no doubt! But, perhaps, do not try to decorate your car with them yourself. I'll explain why.

If you can attach artificial ones just like that, using tape, strings, wire, then live roses, daisies and lilies need special fasteners. Thanks to it, the cost of the bouquet will immediately increase by at least half.

If you prefer naturalness, be prepared for the fact that you may have to replace frayed and withered flowers with fresh ones in the middle of the day.

It is clear that in the cold season you will have to opt for artificial bouquets.

And one more advantage of artificial ones - you can rent them!

Where can you place flower bouquets and garlands?

• Hood
• Body or trunk roof
• Radiator grille
• Door handles
• Rear view mirrors
• Racks

What to fasten with?

Transparent tape, thin string, suction cups or other devices will do.

Aerial pleasure in a wedding car

What could be more joyful and simpler than decorating with inflatable balloons?

You can use them to make garlands and original hearts and much, much more... Just give free rein to your imagination!

Some tips:

First, choose balls that match the overall design of the car decoration.

Second - take no more than 2-3 colors, otherwise you will end up with a tacky overkill.

Third (and, perhaps, the main one) - think about securing the balloons: the inflatable structure should not block the view of either the driver or the newlyweds, and the fastenings themselves should be so reliable that the wind cannot destroy the structure.

Satin, chiffon and even paper will help

Ribbons and bows on the wedding car are traditional wedding decorations. They come in noble satin, airy chiffon and even shiny paper. You can also choose nylon and organza.

Do not forget that they, like all decorations on the car, must be combined in color.

It will look stylish if a light car is decorated with bright ribbons, and a dark one will look better in light ones.

Designers advise combining ribbon colors in this way:

• those who prefer warm colors - red, raspberry and pink;
• if the bride loves exclusively pink (well, it happens), then choose 3 different shades of color;
• blue, red and yellow look good;
• blue, blue and pink are also a great wedding combination.

Once common in the decoration of wedding cars, the Russian tricolor is not the best choice for a wedding.

Where and how to stretch the tape?

• Usually it is simply pulled tightly onto the hood.
• But it’s more original to attach it with a “tick” - the middle behind the radiator, and the ends behind the pillars or hide it under the hood.

I repeat that there are actually a lot of options:

• One wide ribbon is intertwined with thin ribbons with flowers.
• A wide panel pulls the car from front to back.
• Ribbon roses or bows - and tie them wherever you want!
• Web ribbons.
• Ribbon braids.
• Flowing multi-colored ribbons hanging from the back are fashionable these days. (Be careful with this - don’t get wrapped around the wheels!)

If the ribbons start under the hood and are stretched across the entire car, then they can be secured at the back with a decorative bow or a bouquet of the same ribbons.

Sign: a bow on a car - for a wedding!

Just don’t say that the bow is archaic, banal, and everyone is tired of it. It used to be complete monotony.

And now they are made from special multi-colored plastic ribbons, airy tulle, into which a beautiful decorative mesh is woven, similar to the one used in making bouquets.

And if you tie thin ribbons to the bow itself, they will flutter beautifully in the wind while driving.

Color and size

Oddly enough, but buying a “very” large bow for a wedding car is probably difficult. Let me explain what I mean...

When you hold it in your hands, the bow may seem monstrously huge, but as soon as it takes its place on the car, it fantastically “loses” its size.

Maybe then it would be more logical to order several medium bows and achieve what you want? I don’t think so - even 5-10 such decorations will not make the car more spectacular. It’s better to attach 1-2, but really big ones.

A tip for those who count money: two large bows are the same price as 5-8 small ones.

Most often, bows are located in the rear of the car.

Original decorations for a wedding car

Various fur animals have become an alternative to the once familiar baby dolls.

Most likely, the bride will choose this decoration. Various bear cubs, bunnies and other funny fauna can be a very creative decoration for your car.

It is advisable to use magnetic plates and stickers. It is convenient and easy to attach to any desired location. Narrow inscriptions with drawings on a white background can be placed closely above or below the number, visually complementing it.

In addition, any inscriptions and drawings on a magnetic basis can be easily ordered from advertising agencies. Ready-made ones, with popular inscriptions and motifs, are offered by wedding salons.

Lettering on glass

A popular type of decoration for the bride and groom's car has become inscriptions on the rear view glass such as “We are going to get married.” Any phrase can be written with a washable marker or ordered on Velcro film.

And for the bravest, such an offer is a car decorated with bright dandelions, daisies, sunflowers; large fluffy pom-poms, funny light butterflies and swans.

You probably know that the bride’s car is sometimes turned into such a snow-white beauty with a veil and eyelash headlights, while the groom’s car is usually dark with a top hat on the roof and a tie on the bumper.

So here it is. I propose an idea: an outfit for a wedding car in different colors. Half of the bride, the other of the groom, one part is light with a cloud of veil, and the other is dark with signs of a men's holiday.

Today you can rent any car, from a small Smart to a huge limousine. It’s easy to find vintage cars in the companies’ offers, the decoration of which is important not to overdo.

If you are going to celebrate a wedding in St. Petersburg, you can also rent a carriage, a video of which we offer for dessert.

For a variety of ideas for decorating wedding cars, retro and modern, see our photo gallery.

Regardless of the brands of cars presented in your wedding cortege (be it a minivan or a limousine) and their accessories (your own transport or rented), the main thing is to give it a festive look.

Decorators from the wedding agency “Prazdnik.com” will help you on how to do this in an original and tasteful way.

In pursuit of giving each car an elegant look, take precautions so that in the end the vehicle is not completely covered with armfuls of flowers, a lot of ribbons or bows.

Select decorative elements so that they match each other in color and texture. And also select decorations based on contrast: bright color accents for light cars, light shades for dark cars. This way the cars of the wedding cortege will look more noble.

Festive and tasteful

We offer you a choice of several stylish options for decorating your wedding procession.

Heart

The traditional decoration of wedding cortege cars is a heart. In addition to the fact that it must be done neatly and concisely, it must be securely fastened to the hood of the car. A heart made of red and white rosebuds looks beautiful.

Rings

A classic option that will never go out of style. Together with the flower arrangement, they are placed on the roof of the car or on the hood.

Garlands of fresh flowers

The hood of a car, especially in retro style, can be decorated with garlands of fresh flowers and green leaves. Such “fresh” decorations look very harmonious on the car, since they do not violate its proportions and follow all the curves.

Words on glass

On the rear view glass you can place a large inscription “We are married!” or any other in a similar spirit. This inscription is made in the form of an adhesive thin film, which peels off easily and leaves no traces after removal. And wedding guests can express all their imagination with the help of a marker for the car, which is easily washed off. With its help, any car will become a real design masterpiece!

Signs and posters

To highlight the main car from the entire motorcade, one of the signs or posters is attached to its hood or trunk: “Newlyweds”, “Just married”, “Bride and Groom”, which is decorated with colored ribbons. If you have your own original ideas for phrases on signs and their design, you can surprise your guests with them.

Ribbons

Guests' cars can be decorated with two or three rows of multi-colored ribbons. Do you want to decorate your wedding procession in English style? It's not difficult at all! To do this, a long satin ribbon, usually a pastel color, is stretched between the windshield and the front of the hood to form the letter “V”. You can sew decorative roses on the ribbon that contrast with it in color.

The wedding procession is a very important part of the wedding celebration; it is impossible to do without it. Not all couples can afford to rent identical cars in a motorcade, but decorating all the cars in the same style is as easy as shelling pears!

Decorations for wedding cars easy to do with your own hands. You will not only save money, but also get original accessories that no one else will have. Carefully consider the color scheme of decorations for cars, they should match the accent color of the wedding or be neutral – white and green.

Who would have thought that this expensive wedding accessory (about 2000 rubles) could be so easy to make with your own hands!
For the rings on the car you will need:

1. flexible hose (rubber, corrugated - it doesn’t matter) - 2 meters
2. gold ribbon for decorating flowers (foil will also work)
3. a solid base for the rings (foam, hard cardboard...)
4. artificial flowers in desired color
5. bells
6. scotch

Make two rings from flexible hoses - one larger, the other smaller. Cover these templates with tape.

Make another ring to use as a stand.

All rings wrap with foil or gold ribbon(however, the color of your rings can be whatever you wish). Next, fasten the two main rings together and place them on the stand ring. Tape all joints well with tape, otherwise your composition will crumble in the wind.

Place the rings firmly on a solid base, sew with ribbons or thick threads.

The base of the composition can be designed in any way: Drape it with fabric or decorate it with lots of flowers or beads, show your imagination!

For every ring tie a bell.

Decorating cars with ribbons

Ribbons are perhaps the most popular and inexpensive decoration for a wedding car.
The ribbons are selected by color and pulled over the hood with them: either along the length of the car or with a corner. The ribbons themselves can be decorated with beads, beads, artificial or fresh flowers, bows made from the same ribbons or organza.

Fabric bows for cars

Huge bows on the back of the car look great!
They are very easy to make with your own hands.
Buy tulle in white or any other color that matches your wedding, tie the fabric in one large bow and attach it to the trunk of your car. In the middle of the bow you can pin a big flower a suitable shade or some rhinestones or beads.


You can also decorate with small bows machine handles. Small bows, which are a miniature copy of the large one (which is already on the trunk), look very impressive.

Wedding car toys

If your future family has any associations with animals, or you just want to put it on the front bumper of your car wedding bears– don’t be shy, it’s fashionable!
It’s not difficult to surprise your guests with homemade toys. Buy two ordinary white toys (and perhaps you even have them at home) and dress them in tulle or organza. You can put a hat made from cardboard in 5 minutes on the groom toy, and a veil on the bride toy. From leftover fabric, you can quickly sew clothes for these toys, grabbing the fabric with threads in several places.

Stickers for numbers– the simplest way to decorate a wedding car. But remember: it will look spectacular, only if you use some other accessories. On an undecorated car, sticker numbers will look poor and out of place.
You can choose as standard stickers:

So are the original ones:

Flowers for the wedding procession

Many couples decorate their wedding cars with entire arrangements of fresh flowers. Certainly, it looks simply stunning, but costs crazy money. In addition, you must be sure of the freshness of the flowers, otherwise, when you arrive at the registry office, you may find a withered broom on the hood.
Flower arrangements are usually attached to roofs:


On the hood:


For rims:

Whatever you decide to decorate your wedding procession with, show a little imagination and put a piece of your soul into this matter, then the result will exceed all expectations!

Many couples begin to prepare for the wedding in advance, because there is so much to do: submit an application, find a place for a festive banquet, plan a wedding photo shoot, create a guest list. An important detail in preparing for the celebration is ordering a motorcade that will deliver the newlyweds and invited people to their destinations. According to tradition, wedding cars are lavishly decorated so that all passers-by know that young people are celebrating their wedding. The decor of the motorcade can be prepared by a transport rental salon or made independently.

What do the wedding cars of the newlyweds and guests decorate with?

The decoration of a wedding car largely depends on its brand, appearance, color, and model. Vintage cars are almost not decorated: as a rule, they are only lightly decorated with items that give an understanding of their belonging to the wedding procession. These can be fresh or artificial flowers placed on the radiator grille, or large rings on the hood. Limousines, as well as other “status” car models, are not recommended to be decorated with many details - a few contrasting ribbons, a small flower arrangement or figurine of the bride and groom will suffice.

If the wedding cortege consists of ordinary cars, the heroes of the occasion can use flower garlands, balloons, bright ribbons, creating a unique design. Often, such a vehicle escort for the bride and groom is made up of cars from friends, parents, and acquaintances, so they are all of different colors and models. In order for the entire cortege to look beautiful and harmonious, the newlyweds must follow several rules:

1. The cars ahead are as similar in color as possible, preferably not too bright (black, white, gray, silver).
2. The column is completed by cars of the most saturated colors - red, yellow, green, blue.
3. All cars must be decorated in the same style. The newlyweds will have to choose decor in a calm, classic color so that it matches all the cars in the wedding cortege.

However, there are exceptions to all rules. In some cases, the bride and groom may put brightly colored cars at the head of their wedding accompaniment - it all depends on the style of the wedding and the tastes of the future spouses. It’s good if the shade of the car and its decorations are in harmony with the outfits of the heroes of the occasion. This way, the wedding photographer will be able to take some beautiful shots outside while the newlyweds are inside the car. When decorating a car, you need to make sure that the decor does not look too colorful - use a maximum of two or three colors.

To make the decor look elegant, you need to choose light, calm shades to decorate wedding cars of dark colors, and contrasting bright details should be used on cars of white, milky, sand shades. When ordering a motorcade from an agency, it is worth discussing the issue of decor in advance. The rules of some companies prohibit decorating wedding accompanying cars with your own hands. It is not recommended to glue or attach anything to cars covered with expensive paint. To avoid an unpleasant situation, everything needs to be discussed when contacting the agency.

Decorative elements should under no circumstances interfere with the driver’s view. Lush flower garlands in front of the windshield look great, but they increase the risk of an accident - you shouldn’t put your health at risk. You also need to take care of reliable fastenings of decorations so that while driving the rings do not fall off the hood, the ribbons do not become frayed, and the balls do not fly off onto the track. To decorate a wedding car yourself, use the following decorative elements:

• satin, plastic, floral ribbons;
• fabrics (satin, organza, chiffon, silk);
• fresh flowers or artificial plants (which are more often used in winter);
• floral mesh, balloons;
• figurines or dolls of the bride and groom, figurines of rings, hearts, doves, other birds and animals;
• paper applications, posters, pompoms;
• numbers with comic inscriptions: groom's gang, bride's mafia.

If the celebration is themed (a new trend), decorating the car for the wedding should be related to the style of the holiday. For example, if the wedding is in a nautical style, the future spouses can decorate the car with shells and starfish. There are a lot of ideas for decorating a car with your own hands for themed events, the main thing is to stick to the chosen direction for a harmonious appearance.

Wedding bonnet decor with ribbons and butterflies

There are several options for decorating your wedding car with butterflies and ribbons:

• In the first case, artificial insects are attached using special suction cups that prevent them from slipping while moving. The butterflies themselves should be decorated with ribbons or secured to the radiator grille or door handles.
• The second design option for a wedding car involves creating a stretched “web” on the front of the hood from paper or nylon tapes, into which artificial insects are sewn.

Touching butterflies will become a wonderful symbol of a wedding celebration. Future spouses can cut out insects themselves from cardboard, paper, or buy them in stores that sell handicrafts. You can find graceful, delicate butterflies of all colors of the rainbow in florist shops - they are often used to decorate holiday bouquets.

How to decorate a car for a wedding with flowers and tulle

Floral arrangements are ideal for decorating a car during a wedding. Sometimes a small bouquet of living plants is enough to give your car a festive look. It looks beautiful when the cortege is decorated with flowers and fabrics at the same time. For example, they use a combination of floral arrangements together with tulle. The fabric is secured to the hood or trunk, stretching from the glass to the bottom, where the tulle is fixed under the lid. As a rule, this design is asymmetrical. Decoration mounting options:

• Composition on a radiator.
• Flowers in the narrowest cluster of tulle fabric near the windshield.
• Both mounting options.

Door handle decor

The handles of a wedding car are usually decorated laconically. This could be a cute bow using satin, tulle, lace ribbons, a small flower boutonniere, or artificial plants made of silk fabric. The heroes of the occasion can show originality by decorating the handles of vehicles with beads, rhinestones, and covering them with openwork fabric. To make this part of the car look elegant, you do not need to overload it with decorative elements. For a beautiful decoration, one bright flower and several flowing ribbons will be enough. See the video for options:

Decorating the roof of a wedding car with rings

Large wedding rings on a wedding car symbolize the newlyweds' entry into marriage, so they will be an ideal car decor option for a celebration. The accessory can be mounted on the radiator, hood, but it also looks harmonious on the roof of the car. Often the product is additionally decorated with bells. As a rule, rings “sit” on a cushion of fresh or artificial flowers. Another original decoration option is to use two gold hearts instead of rings.

Master class on making wedding rings

Large wedding rings, used as decoration for the newlyweds' car, can be made independently. To create them, you will need the following materials: flexible water pipes (about 2 meters), three AA batteries, golden floral tape, two wooden rulers, artificial flowers, tape, superglue, scissors. Step by step guide to making wedding rings:

• Cut the hose into three parts. They should all be of different sizes: from the largest to the smallest. The small and middle parts are future wedding accessories, and the large part will become the basis of the entire design. The largest ring should not be larger in diameter than the prepared rulers!
• Insert a AA battery into each pipe on one side so that it sticks out halfway, then connect it to the free side of the pipe. Check if the ring is held tightly. If you have doubts about the reliability of the fastening, additionally secure the joint with tape or superglue.

• Wrap the resulting rings and both rulers with golden floral ribbon.
• Using superglue, attach the middle ring to the smallest one, as shown in the photo.
• Glue the rings with superglue or tape to the rulers, then secure them to the largest round pipe.

• All that remains is to steam the artificial flowers and smooth out any unevenness in order to decorate the base-ring holder with them (see photo below).

• The accessory is ready to be mounted on the hood or roof of a wedding car.

In the old days, in different countries, newlyweds came to the wedding on horses, on camels, on elephants, even on donkeys, in carriages, carriages, and carts. But one thing remained unchanged: the wedding transport was anything, but differed from everyone else in its bright and varied decoration. Decorating a wedding procession is now also mandatory for any style of wedding. But there is now only one mode of transport – a car.

General view of the wedding procession

Decorating a wedding procession is a responsible matter. Many companies rent cars of the same color, style, brand and already with wedding decorations. That's a plus. Some couples like it. Others use car rentals, but want to decorate the motorcade with their own hands. Some save on decoration, others believe that their own decoration will be unique and exclusive.

You can decorate the wedding procession yourself, but it is better to leave it to the professionals, especially if you want to decorate the cars with fresh flowers. Only experts know which flowers do not fade for a long time, how to care for them and when and how to change them if the flowers have lost their beautiful appearance. Only professional florists can create beautiful flower arrangements from fresh flowers.

Many people can decorate cars with ribbons, artificial flowers, fabrics or balloons.

Attention! Don’t forget to ask the car owners what can be attached to the car body and glass. If decorations spoil its appearance, it will cost the wedding organizers dearly.

You need to start decorating by discussing the appearance of the wedding procession. The biggest and most beautiful car for the bride and groom is, of course, in front. She is decorated more richly than anyone else. Small individual decorative elements of the lead car are repeated in the design of all accompanying cars on the radiator, on the door handles, a small bouquet or butterflies on the hood. The roof is usually decorated only in the newlyweds' car.

All decoration elements are attached firmly and securely so that they can withstand the fast pace of driving.

The photo shows several options for the general appearance of wedding processions.

Pay attention to the color of the cars and the harmony in the decorations of the lead car and the accompanying ones.

Decoration of the newlyweds' car

To decorate the car you need:

• Fresh and artificial flowers;
• Tapes of any size;
• The fabrics are airy, transparent, light, so that they flutter when cars move;
• Balls filled with gel and figures made from balls;
• Any bows;
• Figures of birds, butterflies;

The design of the wedding procession should be in the style of the wedding and the image of the newlyweds. If the wedding is a pirate one, the car design may include nautical details and pirate symbols. In fairy tale style stories, say Cinderella's wedding, the car is decorated to look like a carriage with a pumpkin on the radiator. If the wedding is designed in one color, then the wedding procession should continue this color scheme.

Flowers on the car

Decorating your car with fresh flowers looks stylish and rich. But fresh flowers require special care. If you don’t take care of them, if you don’t replace faded flowers and arrangements, then all this glamorous beauty will look pitiful. The flowers will droop and wither.

Advice! Specialized stores sell flowers and entire arrangements that look life-like, and you don’t have to think about them for the entire wedding. Their appearance will be brilliant any time. After the wedding, you can keep them as a memorable souvenir.

It is most convenient to place flowers, floral arrangements, garlands of flowers on the hood in the form of the letter V. The letter is laid out with a ribbon or strip of fabric, and bouquets of flowers or one bouquet are placed on it.

If there are a lot of decorations on the hood, then the decoration at the back should be more modest. A small bow made of organza, in the middle a small bouquet of the same flowers as in front.

Decorations made from several elements and different materials look more elegant: flowers, ribbons, fabrics. They need to be firmly secured to the machine so that they last the entire wedding, but for the effect of airiness and lightness, leave the ends of the ribbons, separate pieces of fabric, secured on one side, so that when the cortege moves, they would flutter in the wind.

Attention! Don't forget about safety so that the driver's view through the windshield is not blocked. Flapping fabric can cover it and create an emergency situation.

Summarize

Do not get carried away too much so that the car does not look vulgar and flashy. Modern cortege decoration should be discreet and glamorous. Cars, the wedding hall, and the newlyweds' suits should be decorated in the same style.

Rings are usually installed on the roof of the car.

Handles are decorated with flowers and a bow.

Decorating with balloons looks bright and fun.

The wedding cortege begins the wedding ceremony with a solemn passage through the city streets. We wish that everyone you meet will see you off with admiring glances. May you live happily ever after.
