Decorating the wedding car is a fun way for the family and friends of the bride and groom to get involved in the wedding.

Traditionally decorating the wedding car is down to the best man (with lots of help!), but often this has resulted in decorated cars that are distasteful to the bride and groom. It’s therefore much more likely that the happy couple themselves will have some input in how their wedding car is to be decorated.

Of course at this stage wedding car needs to be defined, as their are two distinct wedding cars at most weddings. There are the wedding cars that take the groom and his best man to the venue, one to take the bridesmaids, and of course one for the bride and her father. These are usually decorated with tasteful ribbons and can be matched to the wedding decor theme.

You also have the wedding car that is going to be used for the bride and groom to leave their reception and make their way to start their married life – this is the one that can get a little o.t.t. if not supervised closely!

The drive away wedding car will traditionally be decorated with things that make a noise, for instance, beer cans are tied to the back bumper, large ‘just married’ signs can be put on the back window, or in some cases painted on the car widow. This wedding car can be plastered in streamers, ribbons, stickers and basically any type of decoration you can think of.

From a safety point of view, you need to make sure that the drivers view is not obstructed. Also anything that is used to decorate the honeymoon car should be made of material that is easy to clean off without causing damage to the vehicle.

It is really easy to find things to decorate the honeymoon car, and one of the most popular things is liquid chalk – this will not come off with the rain, but can be easily wiped off when no longer needed. Take a look at some craft stores where you will be able to pick up magnets which you can use on the car instead of using stickers. The magnets are easy to remove and they do not do any damage.

Don’t forget to decorate the car aerial so that it is easily visible and will attract lots of attention as the bride and groom drive away.

If it is your wedding, and you are concerned that the grooms friends may go a little overboard with the decorating of your wedding car, then get one of your bridesmaids to be part of the car decorating group, this should ease your mind.

A wedding car tastefully decorated is sure to be one of the great memories of the day

Your centerpieces should always fit seamlessly with all your other fall wedding decorations.  You will have to consider the amount of space you have, how big the tables are, the theme of the wedding, the colors chosen for the wedding and the budget.  You want them to be the correct size.  Having them either too small or too big just won’t look right.

Here are some wonderful autumn wedding centerpieces that are a big part of your fall wedding decorations.  These will be essential to spicing up your reception.

*Flowers are the most popular of choices for centerpieces and autumn offers some really good choices.  Mums are very colorful and they will allow you to match your wedding colors to your fall wedding decorations.  Other good autumn flowers are sunflower and hydrangea.

*Pumpkins!  There are a lot of things that you can do with pumpkins and they make excellent fall wedding decorations.  You can opt for jack-o-lanterns on each table or carve the table number right into the pumpkin.  You can also use the pumpkins as vases and put the flowers in them.

*If you are having wine at your reception you can use the wine bottles as part of your fall wedding decorations.  Just incorporate them with the pumpkins and flowers or use these as vases.  You can also use an over-sized wine glass to hold the flowers.

*Apples would look lovely in the flower arrangements.  Also, candy apples are a great way to mix your centerpieces with the wedding favors.

*Another autumn item is pears.  You can add them to your flower arrangements or use large bowls on pedestals to hold the fall fruit.

*Candles make wonderful fall wedding decorations.  Just fill hurricane vases about half full with coffee beans that surround a pillar candle.

*You can’t have a fall wedding without leaves.  Use brightly colored leaves that fall off the trees to decorate the centerpieces and tables.  These are excellent and cheap fall wedding decorations.

Use this list as your starting point.  Just have fun with it and be creative, in the end you will know which of these centerpieces is right for you.

We have already looked at how you can manage do all your wedding decorating on a budget, by stepping outside the box a little, and by shopping wisely.

So staying with the idea of candles for your wedding decorations, you could use an attractive bowl in a color to suit your overall wedding theme, then fill it with water and float candles in it as a super table decoration for your wedding tables.  Alternatively go for a clear or pale color for the bowl and use brighter colors for the candles that you float in it.  Candles are so versatile, they can be used very creatively just by having holders that are different heights.  You could also incorporate many types and sizes of candles in various candleholders for a very eye catching display.

Another option to keep your wedding decorating on a budget is to make some of the wedding decorations yourself.  For instance you could make centerpieces and decorations for the reception by using fabrics, candles and other pretty decorations.  How about using flowers?  If you are getting married when flowers are growing everywhere in abundance, you could use these in colors that match your theme.  If you do not have any flowers growing you could use, how about your family and friends?  With just a little bit of creativity and flare you can make some really great looking centerpieces and table decorations with flowers and leaves.  Even putting petals on the table can look attractive.

If you plan to hold your wedding outside, then you can use the natural greenery and color of the flowers around you to make your wedding decorating on a budget really work well.

All wedding planning has to be done to a budget, but you can really save money on your wedding decorating by following these suggestions and by making your own wedding favors, centerpieces and floral decorations.

Don’t only look for your wedding decorations in the traditional wedding stores, look further afield – this way not only will you be potentially saving lots of money, but your wedding decorations will be truly unique.  Keep a look out for clearance sales, or discount prices on the online wedding stores (try this one for great bargains). You could also keep your eyes open for end of season clear outs, as you will be sure to find some bargains there. If you are getting married in the winter you could try and stock up with decorations that are in the shops during the Christmas sales – this way you will save money.

Try to create your own wedding reception centerpieces by using a votice candle inside small lanterns. If the fire hazard side of this worries you, you can actually purchase battery operated candles which are just as beautiful as the real thing. The light given off by candles is not only flattering, but it also creates a great atmosphere, so will enhance your wedding reception. You could have one candle centerpiece per table, or you could go for a group of them together. If you use soft colors and metallics for your lanterns or votive holders they will be beautiful. What about placing them onto a runner made with metallic fabric? This will reflect the candlelight well, and look gorgeous.

These are a few of the types of wedding cake toppers that you could look at:

Bride and Groom Cake Topper
The traditional bride and groom topper has the groom in a tux, and the bride in a white gown.  You do not have to stick with this, unless you want to.  You could have the happy couple in hiking gear, in military gear, in scuba gear, wearing beachwear, or in whatever attire suits your own particular interests.  You can even find comical bride and groom wedding cake toppers, or go for a Disney topper?  You can stick with elegant if that is what you prefer.  You are certainly not going to be limited in choice for a bride and groom wedding cake topper.  

Flowers
You can choose whatever you want with regards to flowers, and can certainly create a memorable topper with them.   You can more or less choose the colors to match in with your wedding theme, and if you like they could trail down the sides of your wedding cake.  You can go the route of real flowers (perhaps preserved with sugar water), or have your decorator make you icing flowers.  If the flowers are edible (this also applies to the real flowers), then no-one will have to remove them – unless of course you want to preserve them with your other keepsakes.  If you decide to go with real flowers, make sure someone is specifically in charge of getting the flowers from the florist in time for them to be placed decoratively on the cake. 

A Themed Topper
You can of course go for a wedding cake topper that will match your particular wedding theme.  As an example if you have a beach themed wedding you could pick beautiful sea shells for the topper.   Whatever your chosen wedding theme, you are going to be able to find a topper that will match.  In fact, there are wedding cake toppers available for almost anything that interests you both – golfers, firefighters, The Simpsons, dolphins, bears, horses, frogs, trees, knights and damsels, rednecks (really!), Harley Davidson motorcycles, cars, chariots, baseball, doves, butterflies, etc.

Crystal Wedding Cake Topper
If your wedding is going to be an elegant affair you may want to have an intricate crystal piece as the topper on your wedding cake.   You could choose the traditional bride and groom, or you could go for monogrammed initials, a pair of graceful swans, roses, lilies, bells, or even hearts.  Some pieces of crystal  can be engraved with your initials or the date of your wedding.  This would be a lovely keepsake for you. 

The variety of wedding cake toppers is immense so once you have decided on the style of topper you want, you can then concentrate on choosing the right design for your special day.

One of the many decisions you will need to make as you are planning your wedding, is what to put on the top of your wedding cake. Here are a couple of wedding cake topper ideas for you to think about:

* Is your wedding cake going to be a traditional 3 tiers, or are you going to have something different? Have you decided on what shape your wedding cake will be? You can have your wedding cake made to any design you want, so have a good think about it.

* Are you planning on having a themed wedding? If you are, then you are going to want your wedding cake topper to match in with your chosen theme.

* Do you want a cake topper that you can keep forever, or are you looking for something that is not so permanent?

* Do you both like to be a bit different, or are you more traditional?

* Are you looking for a topper that is eco-friendly and can be eaten or put into the compost (e.g  flowers)? Would you prefer to have a plastic molded token that you can then save as a fun memento of your special day? Would you prefer to have a crystal topper that can be put on display in your home afterwards?

Hopefully these questions will help you to focus on the type of wedding cake topper you really want, and help you to narrow your search on what you both truly want for your cake.

As the plans for your wedding day evolve, you may well find that your original thoughts on a cake topper will change. This will not cause a problem so long as you are able to pick out the final topper in plenty of time for the caterer or the cake decorator to add it on to the wedding cake.

In the next post we will go through some of the cake topper designs that are available for you to choose from.
