19 Pretty Wedding Getaway Cars to Inspire You

As your wedding day comes to an end, make the night even more memorable by ensuring your reception departure is one to remember. How? With an epic wedding getaway car. After all, your guests will be there to cheer and wave as you and your spouse embark on the next chapter of your lives together, so you'll want to make sure your reception exit stands out. Not to mention, it will give your photographer a chance to capture some truly cinematic shots of the end of the festivities. One of our favorite ideas? Riding off into the sunset, or towards an inky sky full of stars, in a really cool car—we can't help but love vintage vehicles for this impactful moment, especially when they are adorned with beautiful decorations for a picture-perfect departure.

While wedding protocol traditionally delegates the decorating duties to the groomsmen or wedding party as a whole, many modern couples tend to have their planner take on the task or even see to the details personally. We also adore the idea of having artistic nieces and nephews, or other little ones, lend a hand in outfitting the vehicle and getting involved in the wedding décor. Regardless of who is doing the decorating, it's important to ensure the outfitting takes place as far in advance as possible so that it doesn't interfere with any big-day events or contribute to an ill-timed, awkward moment. And, while most floral accouterments are good for use on vehicles, keep in mind that certain materials may be corrosive to the paint job or ruin the car. For example, products with sugar (think, whipped cream) can damage the paint and strong tapes and adhesives can strip it upon removal. With that said, the world is your oyster when it comes to getaway car décor ideas from garlands of greenery to painted signs to floaty balloons.
