Riding into
the Sunset in Style
Details, details, details. Paying
attention to details, that’s what makes a good wedding great.
As the maid of honor of best man, a lovely send off for the newlyweds
is a tastefully decorated car—announcing to the world "Here
comes Mr. & Mrs. Happy Couple"!

Big Splurge
If you’re the best man and you have deep pockets, a wonderful
wedding treat is splurging for a vintage or customized car for
your pal. Match the car to the personality of the couple. Are
they sporty and nuts about the outdoors? Rent a custom Hummer
H-2. Are they refined Anglophiles? Find a Bentley Azure convertible
to take them to their honeymoon in style. In Chicago, a Hummer
goes for $399 per day with 100 free miles from rentexoticcars.com.
Exotic Rentals has locations in many major cities and offers
a wide selection. Contact the luxury rental car office in your
area to find out about inventory.
Flowers
Think romance when deciding on car wedding decorations. Soaped
up windows with "Donna and James Forever" and cans
trailing off the back leaves a bit to be desired.
Contact the florist that was
hired for the wedding and inquire about purchasing additional
flowers to decorate the car. An antique car looks splendid with
carefully placed ivy woven around the chrome details. |

Ribbon & Bells
You don’t have to take all the fun out of car decoration.
Bells and ribbons can be attached to the car calling attention
to all who drive by. Try to pick ribbon in complimentary colors
to the car. Tulle is another option. Purchase tulle by the yard
and adorn the hood with a pretty bow.
For the most meager budget, a
hand painted sign can be affixed to the trunk of the car spelling
out the joyous news.
Balloons
Customize your balloons at a local party store. Have the bride
and groom’s name and wedding date printed on colored balloons.
Hide wedding car decorations during the reception and sneak out
to affix the balloons to the car, be careful no to obstruct the
driver’s vision!
Writing
If you must write on the car, be sure to select a glass marker
for any personalize messages you transcribe as car wedding decorations.
Soap other non-specialized markers can damage paint and ruin
a perfectly good honeymoon! Glass markers were uniquely designed
to be applied to glass. The paint dries quickly and is removable
with a damp cloth.
Execution
Step up to the plate and deliver an elegant departure for the
happy couple. Scatter rose petals along the walkway to the car
for the bride and groom. Have a chilled bottle of champagne waiting
for them inside the backseat and perhaps a few nibbles of chocolate--the
newlyweds were probably too busy dancing and greeting their guests
to enjoy much of their own catering.
Take these suggestions for car
wedding decorations and have fun. My most valuable tip is this,
HIRE A DRIVER for your friends. They will be exhausted and perhaps
under the influence of too many champagne toasts. Get them to
their honeymoon safely and in style. |
