Driving away from the ceremony as a newly married couple is one of the most iconic photo ops of your big day! To help you nail that "Pinterest-perfect" exit, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to decorating your getaway ride using our favorite kits and accessories.
How to Decorate Your Wedding Car: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Choose Your Theme & Colors
Before you start, decide on a vibe that matches your wedding theme.
-
Classic & Timeless: Stick to crisp white ribbons and "Just Married" bunting.
-
Modern Glamour: Opt for shimmering Rose Gold accents and metallic tassel garlands.
-
Boho Bliss: Mix and match pastel balloons with flowing ribbons.
2. Start with the "Just Married" Focal Point
The back of the car is the star of the show!
-
Hang a Just Married banner or bunting across the trunk or rear window.
-
Ensure it is centered so it looks perfect in those "driving away" shots.
3. Add Texture with Tassels and Ribbons
Give the car some movement for when you’re cruising down the road.
-
Attach a tassel garland to the rear bumper to create a stylish "trail".
-
Use Wedding Car Ribbons and Bows on the hood, door handles, and wing mirrors for a traditional touch.
4. Pump Up the Volume with Balloons
Nothing says "party" like balloons!
-
Use a car balloon kit that includes suction cups to secure them safely to the roof or trunk.
-
Pro Tip: Air-fill your balloons instead of using helium if you plan on driving at higher speeds to keep them from whipping around too much.
5. Safety First (Protect the Paint!)
You want to leave a lasting impression, not a lasting scratch on the car.
-
Use suction cups (often included in our all-in-one kits) to attach decorations without needing tape or wire.
-
Ensure all banners and garlands are tied securely so they don’t obstruct the driver’s view or the license plate.
