How to decorate cars for a wedding. Wedding bonnet decor with ribbons and butterflies. Decorating the wedding hall with balloons

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 wedding procession consists of ordinary passenger 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:

The cars ahead are as similar in color as possible, preferably not too bright (black, white, gray, silver).
The column is completed by cars of the most saturated colors - red, yellow, green, blue.
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, for decorating wedding cars dark colors you need to choose light, calm shades, and on cars of white, milky, sand shades you should use contrasting bright details. 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, 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.

To do this, retreat 3 cm from the edge and pinch the main fabric. It should rise above the surface by about 1–2 cm. After this, lay the top towards you and smooth the decorative tape on top. Now you can sew.

To form the next wave, it is necessary that the length from the top of the previous one to the bottom of the next one be the same length as the height of the wave. Then the whole tape will turn out uniform and beautiful.

Continue folding and sewing until you reach the middle of the decorative tape. There you need to change the folding order and bend the waves away from you. After this, they continue to sew further until 3-4 cm remains until the end of the tape, into which it is necessary to attach an elastic band and fasten the entire structure.

It is important that there is the correct indentation in the middle. It must be doubled so that there is one regular piece of empty space on each side up to the mark.

When the entire ribbon is stitched, the last elastic band is tied in the middle, which will secure the decoration to the radiator. Sometimes bows, flowers or figurines are installed in this place, for which more powerful fasteners are needed, made of silk ties 2 cm wide.

Once everything is stitched and tied, the tape can be installed on the hood. It will diverge from the radiator grill towards the side mirrors.

If you want to make the ribbon multi-colored, then the same actions are performed with pieces of fabric pre-sewn together.

How to attach tape to a car - simple ways

In addition, to select or create decorations, you also need to attach them to the machine. This is a very important stage in preparing the wedding procession, because all the decor must be securely installed.

If this is not done, the most harmless thing that can happen is that it will simply fall on the road. But even this case with volumetric figures can be dangerous. Newlyweds need to be more careful with ribbons or fabric, because a piece of fabric flying from the car can land on the windshield behind a moving car, which can cause loss of control and an accident.

How to attach the tapes:

The easiest way is to attach small ribbons to the mirrors or handles of the car; you can also decorate the rear windshield wiper with them. It is enough just to tie them tightly, or for greater reliability, fasten them with a stapler. This is especially true when the ribbons are holding another decorative element.
The second most difficult thing is attaching the strips to the hood. To do this, you just need to lift the cover and secure the ends of the tape next to the windshield. If there are protrusions on the inside and the ability to secure an elastic band, then this is done immediately without closing the lid. If not, then the ribbon is threaded through the radiator grille and tied tightly; it is important to cut off or hide the ends under the decor so that they do not spoil the appearance.
If the tape is light and is passed over a large area of the car, so that it does not drift away, both ends are firmly fixed. When one of the ends needs to be left free, strips of double-sided tape are used along the entire length of the tape.

Before using any of the methods, you need to make sure that pieces of fabric do not fall into moving or heating parts of the car. If you are going to use adhesive tape, then you need to check in an inconspicuous place how it is cleaned and whether it leaves stains on the paint.

Tulle jewelry

If newlyweds want a more airy texture from the fabric, then tulle is ideal. It is translucent, which means it can be layered to create stronger accents in places.

Tulle can act as the main means of decorating a car, or be just a pleasant addition - it all depends on the imagination of the newlyweds.

How to decorate a car with tulle:

Place the strip of fabric on the hood, securing it at the top and bottom. Due to the fact that the material does not wrinkle and holds its shape, it is most often laid in small folds. It looks most advantageous when the decorators used two tulle colors that stand out most strongly against the background of the car’s paint.
A voluminous tulle bow placed on the roof or back of the car looks beautiful. It is also made from fabric of two shades, and is complemented satin ribbon, passed along the entire length of the roof. To make it look more advantageous, a bouquet of voluminous artificial inflorescences is installed in the core.
If all the decorations on the hood are made of other materials or are small in size, then you can beautifully decorate the side doors with tulle. The material is so thin that it attaches well and does not harm the rubber gaskets on the door. But to make everything look very unusual, you need to create small bows from satin or tulle, which will be strung one on each strip. If possible, you can use a more sophisticated option - special buckles.
Use small tulle ribbons attached diagonally to the hood, and special stickers or magnets are applied to the side surfaces. A white car decorated with burgundy abstract patterns and ribbons of the same color looks very unusual.

When only tulle is used, there is no need for additional lining to protect the paint.

But if there are other, harder materials, then care should be taken to create a protective screen that will not be noticeable under the main decorative element. To do this, you can use a piece of thick fabric or a polyethylene backing, which is sold in hardware stores.

Decorating cars with ribbons or fabric is no longer considered some kind of luxury - it’s common and beautiful way inform other road users that newlyweds are traveling inside. In addition, such cars lift the spirits of everyone who sees them, so it is important to pay attention to even such an insignificant point in the program. How would you decorate the body of your wedding car?

The tradition of decorating the car of the bride and groom and other wedding guests is observed by all newlyweds. About how to do wedding decorations we will tell you how to make a car with your own hands in this material.

The car of the bride and groom is the first thing that guests see when the wedding procession rushes through the streets, it attracts everyone's attention. Therefore, the decor of the car is the “face” of the wedding; the choice and placement of decorations says a lot about the taste of the main characters of the celebration. The bride and groom can show their imagination and make decorations for the car with their own hands. Such decor will look original and unusual, and will also be cheaper.

Making decorations for a wedding car

The most important thing in decorating a wedding car is a sense of proportion. It is not necessary to decorate the car with balloons, ribbons, fabric, “Just Married” stickers and fresh flowers at the same time. It is enough to select one or two elements. Fresh flowers usually look very beautiful: you can decorate the hood with flowers, and the door handles with small bouquets and ribbons that match them (with the help of ribbons, flower branches will be attached to the handles). However, they are too expensive, so you can consider other decor options.

Wedding rings are one of the main decorations of the car: they are attached to the roof. Rings can be easily and simply made yourself. The basis is corrugated pipes for electrical wiring, which can be purchased at any hardware store. Take two pipes of the same length, each one is rolled into a ring. The ends of the pipe are secured with tape.

Then your imagination comes into play. You can wrap the rings with gold tape, gold foil tape or fabric. The rings should be mounted in a stand, which can be made of foam or cardboard. The stand is decorated with foil, wrapping paper or fabric. The rings themselves can also be decorated with fluttering thin ribbons or flowers.

While the groom is working on the rings, the bride and her bridesmaids can work on ribbons and other decorations. As a rule, the hood is decorated with ribbons. This could be a triangle, in the lower corner of which there will be a composition of fresh or artificial flowers, a bow-flower made of ribbons, or Stuffed Toys in the clothes of the bride and groom.

It would also look nice to have a wide stripe in the center or side of the hood, running from the windshield to the bumper, also decorated with flowers or bows. In addition, one wide diagonal strip made from several ribbons that match the color, or a plain piece of fabric on which bright flowers, ribbon bows or other decorations are sewn, looks beautiful.

To make the ribbons look beautiful and original, you will have to do a little work and use your imagination. A master class on making unusual ribbons for decorating a wedding car with your own hands is shown in the video.

The trunk of the car and the rear bumper should also be decorated so that random passersby watching the car have something to look at. Here it is appropriate to place a large bow made of hard tulle, in the central part of which there may be a composition of the same flowers that adorn the hood of the car.

How to attach wedding decorations to a car

Firstly, you can stretch ribbons under the hood and attach flowers or toys to them. Usually a simple elastic band is sewn to one end of the tape, which is threaded under the hood and then sewn to the other end of the tape.

The second option is to use special suction cups. They are sold in theme stores. Usually they already have a fishing line attached to them, with which you can securely fix the jewelry to your car.

The third option is to use magnets. It is very convenient, but the difficulty is to find good, strong magnets: refrigerator magnets will definitely not help you with this. You can order the magnets you need via the Internet in specialized stores.

Another way is to attach the decor with double-sided tape. This is very convenient, but not always reliable: it is better to buy several reels in advance and conduct a test drive in conditions close to combat conditions. The downside is that it won’t be easy to remove the tape from the car the next day; the main thing here is not to scratch the paint.

Finally, the last option is to use those decorations in the design of which everything is already provided for: that is, magnet decorations and sticker decorations.

You can’t make car decorations with your own hands like in the photo, but ordering stickers or magnets is not at all difficult; dozens of companies specializing in the production of printing and various souvenirs do this. But you choose the design yourself: you can order it from professionals or make a sketch on the computer yourself. You can make stickers and magnets with butterflies, flowers, superheroes, photos of newlyweds - your imagination is unlimited. It may be more expensive, but you will have the most original and completely unique wedding car. In addition, such decorations are perfect for a themed wedding.

Photos of decorations for a wedding car: five original ideas

1. Orchids and bluebells. The melodious ringing of wedding bells is not only pleasant to the ear, but also, according to signs, drives away evil spirits and other evil spirits that can ruin the wedding. And orchids are one of the most beautiful and unusual flowers on the planet. This elegant decoration will look especially good on a dark-colored car.

2. Hearts instead of rings. On the one hand, the tradition is respected, on the other hand, heart rings look more fresh and original. The red color will look good on both a white and black car.

3. Wedding rings with elephants. If animal figures appear on the roof of a car, they are usually swans. Which is completely unfair to elephants: these animals are not only loyal, but also symbols of wisdom, reliability and patience. These qualities will undoubtedly help newlyweds in their family life.

4. Decorations for car handles. People often forget about car handles, meanwhile, artificial flowers with ribbons will be an excellent decorative element for the bride and groom’s car. The main thing is that the flowers are in harmony with the ribbons, as well as the flowers on the roof and hood of the car.

5. Heart pillows. They can become the main decoration of the hood. The rest of the decor should also be done in scarlet or white colors.
