Making rings on a car for a wedding, creating and installing them

In organizing weddings in keeping with traditions, one of the key roles is assigned to the wedding cortege. In it, the newlyweds with guests will go to the registry office, take a walk through significant places with a photo session, from where they will arrive straight to the venue of the banquet. To make the festive convoy stand out in the general traffic flow on the wedding route, it is decorated with various accessories. At the same time, special attention is paid to the decoration of the car of the bride and groom.

There are many variations in the design of the newlyweds' car, but in many cases it is decorated with wedding rings. - a traditional attribute of the ongoing celebration. Rings for a wedding car can be purchased in a bridal salon, made to order or made by yourself, showing a little imagination and creativity. The following describes the design options for this type of car decor, its self-creation and how to install it on a wedding carriage.

In ancient times, bells flaunted on the carriage of young people, the ringing of which was heard throughout the district, informing about the approach of the newlyweds and scaring away evil spirits. The traditions of the "wedding train", as the Slavs called it, are still alive today, with the only difference that cars are used instead of carts with horses, and bells have changed rings.

Car wedding rings are a classic piece of jewelry that has not lost its relevance for decades. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the symbolism of the accessory itself and its significance for the wedding.

• The intertwining of the rings testifies to the close connection of two people who decided to walk side by side on the road of life, as well as the union of two destinies into one.
• The ring, constituting a closed circle without beginning and end, combines the images of eternity, unity, integrity and infinity. The latter implies the inviolability of love between newly-made spouses, which will live forever.
• The ritual of exchanging rings between newlyweds serves as an unspoken proof of the conclusion of a marriage union.

When decorating a car with rings, there are a few rules to follow.

• Decide in advance on the location of the jewelry installation. When using a rental car, you should ask the owners for restrictions on how to decorate it. The involvement of friends' vehicles also requires discussion of this issue, since a zealous attitude towards their "iron horse" is characteristic of the overwhelming majority of car owners.
• When deciding to place rings on the hood, it is important to take care that the decoration does not cause the driver to have a limited view of the road and objects that interfere with movement. After all, this is a question of the safety of vehicle passengers.
• Ideally, the design of a car should demonstrate one, maximum two accents, focusing the attention of others. Car rings are a vivid example of accent decor that does not need the company of another piece of jewelry that catches your eye.
• The main accessory and accompanying decorations had to be designed in the same style of the celebration. As a result, the design should turn out to be festive, while remaining balanced in shape and color, and not associated with a fairground booth.

This auto decor can be used as an independent decoration or in combination with other accessories in the form of:

• flower arrangements;
• fabric hearts on the radiator grill;
• ribbons that also adorn all auto escorts;
• sticker numbers;
• thematic flags;
• balloons;
• fabrics for decorating the hood, which are twisted and fixed at an angle with a tick, covered with textiles one side of the lid, assembled in a fan, have picturesque folds, etc.;
• colors for door handles;
• ornaments for side mirrors.

Let's take a closer look at the materials that are used by wedding designers to decorate the rings themselves, in order to support the chosen style of celebration and create a truly festive atmosphere.

The use of white swan figurines at weddings is no coincidence. These noble birds, personifying grace, beauty and grace, are inherent in creating pairs for life and raising offspring together. For this reason, they are considered a symbol of marital fidelity. Not to mention how romantic and attractive a swan couple looks, bowing their heads to each other, when a single heart is formed between them, thanks to natural plasticity.

A swan and a swan are an ideal decoration for a car that heads the wedding procession - the cars of the newlyweds. Their figures are used as a separate decoration for the car of the bride and groom or complement the rings with them: such compositions always look very impressive.

The combination of small rings and large swans sitting in the back looks interesting and unusual. In such cases, the design of the nest-stand can be very different in the form of a composition of flowers, a lush wreath of roses or lilies, a single large flower, with / without supplementation with greenery, fabric (satin, chiffon, tulle, organza), bows, ribbons, artificial pearls ...

Another option involves a combination of large rings and small figures of swans, which are placed inside each circle.Such a composition can be mounted not only on the roof, but also on the hood of the vehicle, supplementing, if desired, with other accessories. Instead of a pair of swans on wedding carriages, a dove with a dove often flaunts as a symbol of family happiness.

The combination of rings and colors is a win-win solution that has become a classic for a long time. The budget option involves the use of artificial plants, which are indispensable in the autumn-winter wedding season, since they certainly do not threaten to lose their original attractiveness due to the vagaries of nature. The cost of live compositions is slightly higher, however, the newlyweds' crew, decorated with fresh flowers, acquires an expensive and respectable look.

When choosing a flower assortment, they start from the design of the rings. When satin ribbons were used in their design, the plants are chosen in a similar or, conversely, contrasting color scheme.

If you plan to decorate the cars of young people with fresh flower decorations, then live plants should be present in the design of the rest of the cars of the wedding cortege, at least to a minimum. These can be boutonnieres or single flowers on door handles and mirrors, flower garlands and small compositions on the hood. As a rule, they are made from the same flowers as the bridal bouquet.

In general, flowers for florists are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. They are used to create a variety of types of wedding car decor - figurines, canvases, garlands, letters, which are suitable for decorating classic and original themed weddings. A vivid example is fantastically beautiful rings on a car in the shape of hearts made of fresh flowers and greenery.

Satin bands are good for decorative outer wrapping of rings and for fixing them to the bonnet or roof surface. They also serve as material for creating roses with different assembly densities, which serve as additional decor. Cuts of light flowing fabrics can be an alternative to satin ribbons for attaching rings to the base. Decorative winding can also be made of tulle mesh.

Often, wedding processions are decorated with bows, which make the design more expressive. Such jewelry also looks great as a complement to the main composition of rings and satin ribbons. These can be miniature spectacular bows with an insert from a fine-mesh floristic mesh or large bows made of translucent, matte or shiny tulle.

The arrangement of rings and toys is quite consistent with the wedding atmosphere. A variety of toys are used to decorate the young crew. The most popular option is teddy bears in shades of pink or purple. One of them can wear a top hat, the other a veil: such a pair of teddy bears looks especially touching and cute. No less popular are bride and groom dolls or heart-shaped soft toys.

Consider step by step a master class on creating rings for a wedding car with your own hands.

What materials are required for creativity:

• PVC corrugated pipe 2 m long;
• a piece of foam 230x450 mm;
• a piece of material that is slightly larger than polystyrene;
• needles with thread and a knitting needle;
• a roll of transparent adhesive tape;
• glue gun and scissors;
• ribbons of white, golden or silver color 2 cm wide.

We will decorate the product with artificial flowers and miniature bells.

The order of work.

• The corrugated pipe is cut into two pieces of different lengths to obtain larger and smaller circles. The segments are connected into rings and fixed at the junction with adhesive tape.
• Both products are wrapped around the entire circumference with adhesive tape to hide the corrugated surface.
• The outer winding of the rings is made from the tape. When creating each layer of winding, the ends of the tape are fixed with glue for reliability.

• The products are fastened together: they can be placed side by side or "intertwined" in the classical way, when a ring of a smaller diameter is placed behind the larger one.
• Attach the ring structure to the foam base with a thread through the through punctures made with a knitting needle.
• The lower part of the base is covered with fabric, wrapped around the edges and sewn with threads. They do this in order to avoid damage to the paintwork of the car with floral decorations.
• They decorate the stand with flowers, arranging them to their liking, but not forgetting that they should well mask the fabric around the perimeter of the product.
• To ensure that the plants stay in their places during the movement of the vehicle, they are inserted into the base and fixed with a glue gun.
• As a bequest, they tie a bell on top of each ring.

The finished wedding car decor already has special fasteners in the form of rubber suction cups, neodymium magnets, eyelets for textile decorations (ribbons, twisted fabric). The magnets themselves are quite powerful, so no additional fixtures are required to hold the rings. But when using suction cups, it will be useful to use tapes for safety net, securing them through loops for textiles.

The classic version of ring fixing involves the use of tapes. Products are attached in different places of the vehicle: they can be placed on the roof or hood, attached to the radiator grill or the front bumper. In the last two cases, the accessory is simply tied with satin ribbons, tying them with original knots.

It is easier and safer to fix a homemade wedding accessory with satin ribbons 4-6 cm wide and 0.5-0.6 m long in a suitable color. At least 4 tapes are required. When installed on the roof, they are first wrapped around the rings, making two turns, then pulled through each door and tied to the ceiling rails.

Thanks to such impromptu stretches, the wedding accessory will easily withstand any road shake and will not fall in strong winds. Having decided to install the structure on the hood using tapes, they are successively passed through the rings and under the open hood, and then tied inside. From the remnants of ribbons, bows are often made to decorate door handles and discs.
