There’s something undeniably romantic about a classic car. Whether it’s whisking you away just after you say “I do” or sitting pretty as a backdrop in your wedding photos, a vintage ride adds charm, nostalgia, and personality to your big day.
But how do you style a classic car so it fits seamlessly into your wedding vision—without overdoing it? Here’s your go-to guide for decorating with intention, beauty, and a touch of vintage flair.
1. Let the Flowers Do the Talking
Florals and classic cars are a match made in wedding heaven.
Garlands & Greenery: Drape them across the hood, trunk, or roof for a natural, romantic look.
Mini Arrangements: Attach small bundles of florals to the mirrors or handles using floral wire or ribbon.
Florals Inside the Car: Place a bouquet on the dashboard or lay stems along the back seat for detail shots.
2. Match Your Wedding Colors
Even a timeless ride deserves to dress the part.
Use ribbons, flowers, signage, or even a styled picnic basket to pull in your wedding colors.
Keep the car’s existing vibe in mind—some colors pop beautifully against neutral tones or metallic finishes, while others work better with bright, bold paint jobs.
3. Add Personal Touches
Your getaway car should feel like yours—even if it’s borrowed.
"Just Married" Signs: Find rustic wood to sleek acrylic, pick one that suits your vibe.
License Plate Details: Custom or vintage plates with your initials, wedding date, or a cheeky saying can make for a sweet surprise.
Props & Accents: Think picnic baskets, vintage suitcases, champagne glasses, disco balls, or a cozy throw blanket in the back seat.
4. Create a Photo Moment
Whether it’s driving away or parked for photos, your classic car can steal the show.
Build a mini scene around it—rugs, lanterns, vintage furniture, or even a lounge area.
Ask your photographer to capture detail shots (steering wheel, bouquet on the dash, a kiss through the window).
Consider lighting: golden hour + chrome = magic.
Final Thoughts
A classic car doesn’t just get you from Point A to Point “Happily Ever After”—it becomes part of the story. With thoughtful styling, it’ll reflect your personality, elevate your aesthetic, and help create the kind of moments you'll remember long after the drive is over.
