PHANTOM HIRE'S BLOG

Wedding car decoration is an essential part of the preparation process for your luxury wedding vehicle. Everyone has a unique vision of what they want their dream wedding car to look like, and the addition of a wedding car ribbon, custom license plate, or decorative flowers is a simple but extremely effective way of transforming an already luxurious wedding car into a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind experience. In this article, we aim to highlight three easy ways in which Phantom Hire’s clients can have their luxury vehicle of choice retrofitted with some bespoke decorations in order to have the wedding car of their dreams.

Wedding Car Ribbons

Wedding car ribbons may seem like an extremely simple idea for decoration, but the addition of a few ribbons adorning the wedding car’s bonnet and/or doors is a magnificent way to emphasise the luxury of the vehicle. What makes ribbons especially appealing is their ability to add elegance without overwhelming the car’s design. They strike the perfect balance between subtlety and sophistication and are ideal for those looking for something classy and cost-effective. Better yet, they’re easy to remove post-ceremony, making the transition from “wedding car” to “honeymoon ride” seamless.

Traditionally, wedding car ribbons would be stretched from either side of the windshield as they loop around the front of the vehicle, made even easier on a Rolls-Royce thanks to the addition of the Spirit of Ecstasy attachment at the front of the car. However, in 2025, couples are getting more creative; some opt for crisscrossing ribbons, custom colours that match the wedding theme, or satin finishes that shimmer in the light. At Phantom Hire, our expert team can help you choose ribbons that complement the design and colour of your chosen luxury vehicle—whether it’s a gleaming Rolls-Royce Phantom 8, the imposing Rolls-Royce Cullinan or the all-electric Rolls-Royce Spectre. 

Custom License Plates

For couples looking to add a more personal touch to their wedding vehicle, a custom license plate is a fantastic option. Whether it displays the couple’s initials, wedding date, or a fun phrase like “JUST MARRIED” or “MR & MRS,” a custom plate transforms the car into a truly bespoke experience.

In 2025, Phantom Hire will offer temporary personalised plates that comply with UK regulations while still adding that ‘wow’ factor. These plates can be designed in a variety of fonts, colours, and materials, giving you full control over how they look in photos and videos.

They also double as great keepsakes after the big day. Some couples choose to frame their custom plate as a memento or use it as part of their home décor, serving as a lasting reminder of one of the most joyful moments of their lives.

Flowers

Nothing says romance like flowers, and incorporating them into your wedding car decoration is a timeless tradition that continues to evolve. In 2025, floral car décor ranges from subtle touches to extravagant displays, depending on your vision and budget.

A small bouquet attached to the door handles or a floral arrangement on the rear parcel shelf can elevate the visual appeal of the vehicle. The key is coordination—selecting flowers that match or complement your wedding colour scheme and bouquet.

Phantom Hire works closely with local florists to provide high-quality arrangements that are securely fastened to your chosen vehicle without damaging the finish. Popular floral choices include roses, orchids, eucalyptus, and seasonal blooms, all tailored to the theme of your wedding.
