Bringing Back Old Traditions

Filed Under Decorations, Planning Tips

Remember back in the good old days when the decorations on the couple’s getaway car was so simple as a string of cans and maybe a sweet “Just Married!” note? I miss those days. Eventually, it seems that people took it to such an extreme that now people are told not to decorate the car at all. Wouldn’t it be cute though to have some adorable cans like these decorating the back of your car?

The above cans – along with a LOT of other fabulous finds – are for sale at Wedding So Sweet on Etsy (home of all things wonderful!), but thanks to Design Sponge’s DIY tips, you could make a set that is all your own! How fabulous would it be to coordinate them with your wedding colors? And the painted cans just seem to elevate it all to a whole new level. So fabulous!

I love the bikes and other items decorated with these cute items – perfect for a romantic destination wedding where your retreat might not be in the usual car!

Here is to bringing back old traditions and seeing lots more cans announcing newlyweds in the future!

    I love cans and the whole idea of ribbons or something special as a getaway. Awesome!

    Kelly you are so right. I miss those days too. It seems like today – The BIGGER the BETTER and sometimes there just isn’t the budget for that. When I got married 29+ years ago we did it on a $3000 budget and had a GREAT wedding. Family & friends brought food, drinks, desserts and homemade candy. I even had my Uncle who worked at a bakery bring 2-6′ loaves of bread for sandwiches.
