Decorating Mini for wedding

[bensidewalker]

Hi everyone,

I am getting married in November, and I'm taking my car to the wedding venue (I have a Cooper Convertible Sidewalk). I would like to decorate the car for the occasion and wondered if anyone has done this before or just has suggestions of things I could do, and if possible where to buy these things!

Thanks

Congratulations on your wedding

No Idea about decorating your MINI

But - Why 2 threads on the same subject created within minutes of each other??

[I love MINI, Laura]

I used 3 of our families MINIs on our wedding day, one for the groom, one for the bridesmaids and one for me and Dad. We decorated them with white florist ribbon, not silk ribbon which cost £1.99 from Hobbycraft. We did the front bonnet with threading the ribbon through the centre slat then up to the inner windscreen posts with the windows pulling these tight. Then put a big bow on the front grille where the ribbon comes together. We put bows on the door handles and then a long trail of ribbon off the ariel (which is at the back on a tin top). They looked brilliant but glad we had a dress rehursal first.

I've got pics which I'll need to scan in for you if you want to see.

Good Luck and congratulations.

Best of luck with the wedding - white ribbons and bows seem the obvious choice.

Happened to get to John Lewis in the Harlequin Centre, Watford yesterday and they didn't have a clue about it in the haberdashery department! Never mind, I've found plenty others online. I'll also check out their webite to make sure.

Also managed to scratch one of my alloys a bit on the bloody tight bends in the car park!! Grr!

It can be tricky if you have a non slatted aero grille, we used the driving lamps on ours to keep the front ribbon in place

Rakey, I got the kit from the Oxford Street branch for £14
