Design rules
Successful decoration ideas can be seen in photographs of agencies that deal with car decoration for a wedding (in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities). But when decorating a wedding car, you need to follow some recommendations.
You should not make your vehicle colorful, loading it with all kinds of decor and an abundance of shades. There should be no more than three colors on the car. At the same time, dark, rich tones look good on light cars, while on dark cars, on the contrary, light and muted tones look good.
Decorative elements must be firmly attached so that they do not fall off when driving. But you definitely need to consider a fastening that will not damage the paint and varnish. Also, decorations should not block the driver’s view, otherwise there is a high chance of an accident.
Pay attention to how car decorations are used for a wedding in Abakan. There are very successful examples in this city. Also, study the laws of color and decoration technology in advance so that the design goes smoothly and without nerves.
Decoration of the wedding procession
If you are planning a machine build, then all the cars will have to be dressed up. To do this, you need to find out how many people will arrive in their own transport to make the decor in advance. Of course, you can ask guests to decorate their cars themselves, but then it’s unlikely to be able to maintain the overall style. Therefore, it is still better to think about simple fastenings and distribute the decor in the morning.
It is worth remembering that the newlyweds’ car should be the most beautiful and slightly different from other vehicles. It is better to place light-colored or similar-colored cars in front of the motorcade, and it is recommended to complete the column with dark and bright models.
Decorating with balloons
Perhaps, decoration with balloons is the cheapest and in a simple way. True, recently this option of decorating a car for a wedding has already become boring for the newlyweds. But nevertheless it takes place.
The easiest way would be to inflate bunches of balloons and tie them on the roof, bumper, mirrors or radiator grilles. Simple, but tasteful, the main thing is not to overdo it with quantity. However, this method is not considered reliable in terms of fastening.
Also, all kinds of designs are made from balloons: flowers, bows, hearts, lines, ticks and other unusual compositions. They are tied with threads to dense twine and pulled between two support points on the hood, roof or trunk.
Decoration with fabric
You can use any fabric as a material, but organza or tulle behave best as a decorative element. They are transparent, lightweight and hold their shape well.
There are several options for decorating a car. The fabric can be pulled over the hood with a neat drapery, securing it on the inside, where the engine is, with a regular elastic band.
The unique garlands look beautiful. You need to cut strips measuring 200 by 20 centimeters. Then, every 20 centimeters, the fabric is collected on a needle and thread. Flowers or other decorations are attached to the bends.
You can also make original pom-poms for your wedding car with your own hands. From organza or tulle you need to cut strips 70 by 20 centimeters. Then a thread is laid along the center and pulled together. The resulting pompoms are used as independent elements or additional decor.
Dressing up with ribbons
For decoration, use paper, nylon or satin ribbons. Typically, three different colors are chosen to decorate one side of the hood. The following tones go well with each other: white, blue, red (national flag of Russia); blue, light blue, pink; yellow, red, blue; red, pink, crimson; three shades of pink or any other color.
It is very easy to determine how many centimeters of tape you need. The length of the hood should be multiplied by 1.5, or better yet by 2, so that there is a reserve just in case. One of the ends of the tape is folded in half and a piece of linen elastic is sewn to it. Next, the workpiece is put on the hood. All that remains is to sew the free ends of the tape and elastic to each other. You can do it simpler: do the same thing, only without a needle. The ends of the elastic and ribbon are simply tied to each other.
This is a great way to decorate a car for a wedding. In Yaroslavl, Volgograd and other cities, buying ribbons is not difficult. In addition, you can make roses and bows from them, which will perfectly brighten up antennas, trunk lids, mirrors and handles.
Decoration with flowers
It is best to choose artificial flowers, because live ones will not withstand either frost or heat and will quickly wither. It is recommended to pre-assemble the buds and vegetation into an arrangement before placing it on the machine.
The flowers are fastened together with stems and, if necessary, the resulting bouquet is placed on the hood or roof using an elastic band and ribbon.
It would be safer to take one with suction cups and stick flowers and leaves into it over the entire area. This design will definitely last all day. You can also attach bouquets with magnets, after wrapping them in a soft cloth so as not to damage the paintwork.
But the example of decorating a car for a wedding in the photo above is not entirely successful. Individual flowers placed throughout the car only spoil the overall picture. It is better to attach large bouquets and complement them with ribbons or fabrics.
Decor from wedding rings
Often, large crossed rings are placed on the newlyweds' car, which are a mandatory attribute of any wedding. In specialized salons, such an accessory is not cheap at all, but making it yourself is very simple.
You will need 1.5 meters of gas hose, three AA batteries, a roll of golden satin ribbon and a glue gun. If desired, you can add other decorative elements.
The hose needs to be cut into three parts (60, 50 and 40 centimeters each), and the ends of each part must be fastened using AA batteries. Wrap the resulting rings with tape, simultaneously lubricating them with glue. The middle piece will serve as a stand.
