Need Help Coming Up With Your Prom Car Decorations Ideas? We’ve Got You Covered.

Your prom celebration is certain to be one of the most exciting and memorable moments of your adolescence, and you’re going to want every detail of the night to be exactly as you imagined it in your dreams, including your prom cars. One easy way to make your prom car worthy of such an important celebration is to decorate it, but figuring out how to do so is no easy task; with so many car and decoration options to choose from, the process of curating the perfect prom car can feel unnecessarily overwhelming. 

However, this need not be the case. In this blog, we’ll provide a step-by-step process to help you come up with prom car decoration ideas, in the hope that this will ensure that the Phantom Hire team help to create the prom car hire of your dreams. 

1. Think About Which Prom Car Best Suits You

Before we think about decorations, we need to think about the car itself, so take a moment to look through Phantom Hire’s luxury fleet and see which of our incredible vehicles most appeals to you. This is your big day, after all, and it’s critical that the car you choose best reflects both your needs and desires. 

Certain vehicles within our fleet lend themselves more readily to customisation, most notably the Rolls-Royce Dawn, as it is available in a range of stunning colours that make it better suited to matching the colour of your attire, including Miami Blue, Tuscan Sun and Ensign Red. On top of that, our white Rolls-Royce models, such as the Phantom and the Ghost, are also excellent for decorating, given that white is the colour that most readily goes with everything.

2. Take The Vibe Of Your Prom Into Account

It is also essential to think about whether your prom car decorations match the vibe of your prom celebration. One of the easiest ways to do this is once again through the use of colour, in this case the colour of your decorative ribbons. For example, if your prom were taking place in Brighton at the stunning Pangdean Old Barn, you’d want a colour that best matches the rustic, naturalistic backdrop of the venue’s incredible country surroundings – we’d recommend a nice warm brown or a rich, earthy green. 

With this in mind, picking a coloured ribbon that matches your prom venue is an excellent place to start when thinking about your prom car decorations – for more information on matching wedding decorations to a particular car, consider checking out our blog which provides suggestions for which colour best suits a selection of our luxurious vehicles.

3. Think About You – What Best Reflects Your Tastes?

This is your prom night, and given the weight and grandiosity of the event, your prom car should absolutely reflect what you want to look like, not what others tell you it should look like. With this in mind, take a moment to think about what you want your prom car to look like. Do you want red ribbons or blue ribbons? Will you go for the Turchese Blue or the Ensign Red Rolls-Royce Dawn? How about a custom licence plate that reads you and your special someone? Whatever you choose, make sure that your prom car decorations reflect what YOU want; it’s your special night, and you deserve to enjoy it exactly as you imagined.

4. Try To Match Your Prom Attire

Another easy way to appropriately decorate your wedding car is to think about whether it matches your prom attire. As with the vibe of the prom itself, a straightforward way to do this is to find decorations that match your outfit in terms of colour. These can either be exact matches (i.e. choosing red ribbons to match your red dress) or complementary colours that will provide an aesthetically pleasing blend (e.g. pairing white ribbons with a prom party dressed in blue tuxedos). 

5. Try To Emulate Something You Like

If after all this, you’re still having trouble figuring out how you want your car to be decorated, why not try modelling your prom car decoration ideas in the style of a famous person that you like; they could be a celebrity, athlete, actor or even a movie character. This gives you a base on which you can then tailor and expand to better fit your personality. 

For example, if you were a huge James Bond fan, you could select a pristine white Rolls-Royce Phantom and decorate it with a personalised licence plate that reads ‘007’, allowing you to replicate the suave, effortlessly cool aura of the famous superspy. Conversely, if you wanted your prom car to replicate the bubbly tone of the Barbie movie, you could have a Pink Hummer decorated in neon pink ribbons and snow-white ribbons. Whatever tone you’re going for, basing your prom car decoration ideas on something in popular culture that resonates with you is a great place to get started.
