One important aspect of the wedding is the planning of the wedding car decoration. With the recession and financial constraints, you can always go for simple, economical decorative and innovative ideas. Most people pay attention to this decoration detail for the car as it is a symbol that you share with the whole world that screams ‘we just got married!’

There are many ways you can have your wedding car decorated. For the wedding, there is one car which is used for the bride and family as they come for the wedding, and the second car is used at the end of the wedding reception by the bride and her groom for their getaway. The first car decorations are always minimal, centering on the formal elements whereas you can go all out with the creativity in the second car decorations.

There are no rules for you on how you should approach your wedding car decoration. Basically, it should represent very personal and unique style and preferences that are shared by both of the bride and groom. The first car decoration is a part of the wedding theme, so always make sure that it reflects the big picture of the wedding and the bride’s personality. Simple and formal decorations are chosen by many while a touch of humor could also be used in the decoration of the first car.

The second car decoration depends mainly on how much money you would want to shell out in the determination of the whole look. An inexpensive idea would be to use roses but if you are willing to spend, you can use fresh flowers such as carnations, English lilies and other customized décor items. Take into account the color of the wedding car as you go on designing its decoration. A white color car is a perfect canvas for bright colored silk flowers and ribbons as this will make them pop out really well. The wedding car is an extension of the big wedding theme, so make sure that it complements it. For instance, if you are using purple and red color schemes for the wedding cards, gift wrappers, and décor and so on, you would want to have your car décor done in the same color by including drapes or silk flowers.

A classic silk flower wreath can be used to make the car look attractive which is naturally placed on the bonnet, with its ends tucked into the car’s trunk lid, so that it won’t fall off. Sticking flowers all over the car is another traditional method of decorating wedding cars that you can use. Silk flower bunches can be added to give the car an elegant and classy look.

A more practical and simple method would be using a few ribbons and flower garland attached to a ‘just married’ sign. Ribbons are very affordable and you can always count on them in times of tight budget. Depending on your creativity and wedding theme, you can also make use of washable paints, or any other material for the signs in order to put out the message of your marriage loud and clear, the way you want it. A summer wedding car decoration would include hot pink ribbons, while an upscale wedding theme would do well with simple cream color ribbons for the wedding car decoration.

There are countless of ways for decorating your wedding car to make it look appealing to your eyes. You will only have to use your wild imagination and originality to produce a wedding car decoration that will look good in photographs, and as a unique statement to the world of your wedding!
