Your first car ride as newlyweds is an exciting and priceless moment. Decking out your set of wheels can help make the moment even more special, which is why we’re sharing some of our favorite unique wedding car decoration ideas to spark your imagination.
Whether it takes place after your ceremony on the way to your reception, or at the end of the night as you bid your guests adieu and make your grand exit, the car ride is likely to be one of the first (and few) opportunities for uninterrupted time with your spouse on the big day — so make it count!
Traditionally, it’s the responsibility of the wedding party (specifically the groomsmen) to decorate the getaway car, but you can consider leaving it up to your wedding planner, a style-conscious friend, or even handling it yourself.
Keep in mind that if you’re renting a car, you’ll need to get permission from your wedding transportation vendor before adding any embellishments. Now, get ready for that “Just Married” photo op!
