You can decorate it with scrap paper or any other beautiful paper, fabric, rhinestones, flowers, satin ribbons and floral arrangements.
The main thing is not to forget to make a slot into which an envelope or postcard can easily fit!

Decorations for the wedding procession
Proper decoration of wedding cars plays an important role, because a spectacular wedding procession initially sets the festive mood for the celebration. Flowers, rings, swans and doves, rings, soft toys, dolls, balls, bells, original inscriptions and signs - we use everything!
Let's start with the traditional decoration on the newlyweds' car - decorative rings. You can rent them, buy them, or make them yourself.
If you rented rings, then usually the rented decoration has a special magnet, due to which the decoration is attached to the roof. But at the same time it is necessary to provide a backing in the form of fabric or paper, because The magnet can scratch the surface of the car.
Katerina Surikova tells how to make rings for a car in her master class:
Decorative hearts are also popular in decorating the roofs and radiators of young cars. The blank for them can be made from cardboard, polystyrene foam or wire, and then you can start decorating it: with flowers from ribbons or paper, satin or chiffon ribbons.
Marine DIY Guloyan shows in his master class how you can make a delicate heart decoration from an old metal hanger, dish sponges and other elements:
Swans and doves will perfectly decorate your car.
They can be cut out of foam plastic, and the side part can be covered with white satin ribbon. You can cut feathers directly onto the foam, or it is better to cover the workpiece with artificial feathers or feathers cut from cotton pads. Don't forget to highlight the bright beak and eyes.
Or look at these cute doves:
If you decide to decorate the wedding procession yourself and make it yourself or purchase decorations, then you need to take into account that the hood has different lengths for different cars. Therefore, it is better to measure everything first!
You can attach decorations to the hood using special stretchers, Velcro, double-sided tape, satin ribbons, bright threads, elastic bands, magnets sewn into fabric bags. The cortege will look more impressive if it is designed in the same style and color scheme.
The main attention, of course, is paid to the newlyweds’ car. For the rest of the motorcade cars, door handles, mirrors, hoods and cars are decorated with decorative elements.
It is also customary to decorate the cortege with balloons; for this case it is better to choose balloons made of durable latex; they will withstand all the trials of this day.
Outdoor photography
The area for a photo shoot in nature can also be selected in advance.
If the wedding is planned outside, you can decorate the place not only with traditional balloons, textiles or flowers. Sets for a photo shoot for an outdoor wedding may include voluminous elements, for example, in the shape of a large heart. These can also be letters displaying the initials of the young people, or entire inscriptions, for example: “Love”, “Wedding”, made in a color contrasting with the outfits of the young people, almost full-length or taller. They are made from plywood, plastic and even foam and painted in white, red or other bright colors. Photo of plastic inscriptions love
Large rings, figurines of swans, and stars will look original. An unusual idea could be a huge barn lock with the inscription “Happiness” and a separate key for it, which the young people can hold in their hands. Such voluminous blanks can be arranged in any order, choosing different landscapes - the compositions will look very exclusive, especially against the backdrop of emerald grass. And in the evening, you can add extravagance with garlands or LED illumination of letters in the counter-openwork style.
Decorations for the newlyweds' table
Wedding glasses
