It would seem that decorate a car for a holiday - Just. But if you want everyone to admire your car and make it look stylish and modern, you will have to experiment a little.
Some may say that using balloons to decorate a car is boring. But today there are a huge number of car design options that look fresh and correspond to fashion trends.
Some select balls in accordance with the color palette of the car, while others create fantasy compositions on the hood. Modern manufacturers offer a wide selection of decorative elements that can be used to decorate a car. These can be foil balls, various shapes, bouquets or flowers made from small balls.
Basic recommendations
- It is necessary to take into account the model and body type of the car. Thus, retro cars do not need excessive decoration, the same applies to limousines and other status cars.
- The decoration of all cars should be made in the same style, but be sure to contrast with the color of the car. So, for dark cars you should use light decor, for light cars – bright ones. For themed weddings, it is appropriate to choose appropriate details; for example, for a celebration in a nautical style, it is ideal to use blue colors, shells, decorative nets, etc.
- When thinking through a design, you need to be guided not only by aesthetics, but also by practicality. Decoration must not interfere with the driver's view! The optimal places for attaching its elements are the hood (only if we are not talking about lush compositions), roof, handles, and trunk.
- The fixation of the parts must be extremely strong so that none of them comes off during movement.
- A motorcade consisting of cars of the same color and/or brand looks elegant. If the cars are of several colors, then it is advisable to start the white, black, and silver ones first, and concentrate the bright ones at the end.
If cars for the motorcade are rented, when signing the contract, you need to find out whether decor is included in the price (companies often offer such a service). Otherwise, you should get permission to decorate. It may happen that the car is covered with an expensive paint coating, to which it is prohibited to attach even ordinary tapes.

The garland can be replaced with a composition of balls. The most popular option is a heart made of balloons. You can also place balloons in the shape of wedding rings on the bumper. To do this, use gold or yellow ones. Manufacturers also offer foil balloons that imitate pigeons. This decor looks very romantic and beautiful.
You can also decorate cars in retro style. Naturally, the cars themselves must comply. To style, tie pink ribbons and white balloons. If the car itself looks bright, you should not overload it with additional elements.
Ribbons

When choosing balls, as a rule, preference is given to two standard colors. Blue for a boy, pink for a girl. To make the decoration look delicate, combine colored balls with white ones. You can also complement the composition with silver foil balloons.
Decorate the roof of the car with figures or bouquets of balloons. For example, make something like a wicker basket from small balls or oblong ones. Tie a foil figure of a stork to it. Instead of a bird, you can “put” a toy baby doll in the basket. To decorate a car bumper, foil balloons in the shape of a stroller, bottle, baby, or pacifier are suitable.
Fabric
Decorating a car for a wedding with fabric is somewhat similar to ribbon decor, but it looks much more stylish and elegant.
The simplest, but at the same time beautiful way is to cover the hood with tulle or tulle; beads, flowers, etc. can be sewn onto them. And if you sew several thin sections to the fabric, then they will develop interestingly while moving.

How to make a ribbon for a wedding car with your own hands - master class
Often newlyweds do not want to spend money on wedding decorations for their cars, because such decorations will only be needed once, and then they will gather dust.
Now this is no longer such a difficulty for newlyweds, because you can rent ribbon harnesses - wedding agencies have quite a wide choice. The only drawback is that this decoration has been at many weddings, and even if the appearance remains good, it certainly cannot be called unique.
Therefore, if the bride, groom or event organizers want to get an inexpensive but exclusive decoration for the wedding procession, then you can create it with your own hands. To make decorative elements from ribbons, you need to know what kind of car the newlyweds will drive. After all, the size of the hood and body varies from model to model.
If the exact parameters are not known, then you will have to make extra ribbons, and cut off the excess on the day of decoration.
First, you need to attach an elastic band to the main ribbon, which will hold the decoration on the hood, as in the photo.
To do this, apply 1–2 cm of stretch to the end of the fabric and pass it back and forth with a sewing machine several times.
On the decorative tape you need to mark the middle. To do this, fold it in half, and if possible, carefully draw it with a pen.
A decorative ribbon is placed on the fastener, which will run along the entire length of the decoration, and it is also sewn on.
When all the preparatory stages are ready, the waves begin to form.
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.
Flowers
Decorating with flowers always looks elegant and attractive. Ikebana by car will also cause genuine delight among those around you and will emphasize the original taste of the bride and groom.
Both fresh and artificial flowers can be used for decoration. In the first case, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive roses, orchids or lilies; daisies, gerberas, and chrysanthemums will do (by the way, such specimens are much more durable). It’s easy to create a complex bouquet of them and install it on the hood, adding beads and fabric. It would also be appropriate on the roof. Also, using suction fasteners, it is easy to secure single copies throughout the body. The mesh on the hood, richly strewn with flowers, looks most attractive.
Artificial specimens are cheaper than living representatives of the flora, but this is not their main advantage. They are not afraid of precipitation, retain an attractive appearance for a long time, and are also easily and securely attached. In addition, it is worth decorating door handles/mirrors with mini bouquets.
Birthday surprise on the bus/tram
Yes, yes, don't be surprised! Some friends and family make such surprises for the birthday boy. They order a tram or bus and arrange a trip around the city at night for the hero of the occasion. If you like this idea and you decide to bring it to life, do not forget about the registration of transport.
Place garlands of balloons around the perimeter of the roof. Use them to decorate the entrance to the passenger compartment. Place one garland at the top or bottom of the windshield.
Take care of decorating the vehicle interior. Decorate the handrails with multi-colored balls. Fill the interior with helium balloons to the ceiling. Attach children's photographs of the birthday boy to the ribbons hanging from them.
Balls
It’s easy to decorate a car for a wedding in an original way using balloons, making simple compositions out of them. To transform your car, it is advisable to prepare balloons filled with helium; they are stronger than ordinary ones.
You can make a heart out of balloons and attach it to the hood. A garland of multi-colored specimens will also look interesting. The main thing is not to forget to firmly fix the decor, otherwise the balls may burst or come off at speed.
How to decorate a car as a gift?
The lucky person who receives a car as a gift should receive it in a beautiful package. Just like any other gift. Finding a real box or other type of packaging for a gift of such dimensions is impossible. But balls help solve this problem.
To make your car look more colorful, choose balls of a contrasting color. The decor in blue and red looks impressive. Additionally, you can use white balls. They combine favorably with the main one. You should not use only white balloons, otherwise the car will look like a wedding car.
With the help of garlands of balloons you can create something like a bow. You can decorate the car like a box. To do this, you need to select balls of the same color. It’s logical, because the ribbons are mostly the same color. A long ribbon must be stretched from the front bumper to the rear. If you want to drive a decorated car, you need to fix the ribbon of balloons exclusively on the roof so that it does not block your view. The second tape must be stretched perpendicularly. At the intersection you need to place an additional bow, which is also made of balls. The minimum amount of effort and money, while the holiday car wrapping is ready.
Another option for festive car decoration is to fill the interior with small helium balloons. You don’t have to limit yourself in terms of color. Then, when you hand over the car, ask someone to open all the doors at the same time. It looks very impressive when the balls fly out of the cabin.
Stickers
Shops for organizing holidays today offer stickers for car decoration, including wedding-themed ones. Such stickers are easily washed off with plain water, so there is no need to be afraid that they will damage the paintwork. If young people want an individual design, then it will not be difficult to order stickers from a printing company with the desired picture/text.
License plates with funny inscriptions are also popular. We do not recommend using these to avoid problems with traffic police officers.
Decoration of the hood of the newlyweds' car
The hood of the newlyweds' car is usually covered with organza or tulle and/or decorated with various flowers and bows. This article provides information on how to make a composition in the form of two hearts.
Required material:
2. Their thickness should be 8 centimeters. Using the first template, we cut out two more shapes from hearts. All three combinations of cardboard must be placed on top of each other and rewound with tape and a satin ribbon on top of it. Moreover, each turn of the latter must be secured with glue so that the edges do not diverge and the cardboard is not visible.
Decorations made of light fabric and ribbon
The use of lightweight fabrics in car decoration is also quite popular. Typically, tulle or other weightless and translucent materials are used for decoration.
Bows look the most impressive, but when choosing such decoration you should take into account their size. For example, small jewelry looks best in a few pieces. But massive and voluminous bows prefer solitude.
Often fabrics also play the role of voluminous ribbons; they are decorated with ribbons of contrasting colors, which makes the decoration very unusual and original.
