Creative Decorations for the Wedding Car

Typically a wedding is all about the bride and groom. They decide on the color scheme, the music, the food for the reception, everything. The only time their friends really get to have a say in the wedding is when it comes time to decorating the car the couple will ride away in. The wedding car can be decorated in an elegant fashion, or it can have a humorous theme; whatever the friends decide. Below are some suggestions for decorating a wedding car.

Elegant Decorations
The most elegant decoration you can use to decorate the wedding car is flowers. You can choose flowers that matched the color scheme the bride and groom chose for the wedding, or you can choose an elegant white. Roses are the most common flowers used for decorating. You can choose red roses, yellow, white, pink, or red. Any color you use will help make the car beautiful. Use ribbons and matching lace to tie the flowers onto the car.

Modern and Humorous Decorations
A new twist to decorating the wedding car comes with the use of vehicle chalk or window markers for a cheaper option to decorating. Vehicle chalk can be used to write funny or encouraging messages on the windows or on the doors of the car. The benefit to this type of decoration is that it is easy to use and it does not mess up the paint of the car or scratch the windows. Some people like to write suggestive humor on the cars, while others may write well wishes. Some people like to toilet paper or "teepee" the wedding car for fun.

Tradition
Traditional decorations for the wedding car include writing a sign that says, "Just Married". This can be done with vehicle chalk or you can write it on a sign and attach it to the car. Another part of the tradition is tying cheap metal cans to the bumper of the car with string. This tradition came about during the middle ages when people wanted to ward off evil spirits by making a loud noise. It has become a sign of good fortune or good luck for the wedding couple. The cans can be spray painted in different colors or they can just be attached to the car.

When choosing to decorate the wedding car, make sure the decorations will not scratch the paint or damage the car in anyway. The decorations should be a sign of your love and friendship with the wedding couple. Think of it as a gift.
