I don't know if I like them

Hi Sabrina, in the Western World, white has traditionally symbolised purity and the wedding gown and ribbons date back to the middle ages to signify that a bride was about to be married. Whilst most couples adhere to this tradition, it is strictly a matter of personal choice..

If you prefer not to have ribbons, just let your provider know in advance so that the ribbons are removed before arrival

Best wishes on your day Sabrina

White ribbions are fitted to wedding cars to signify to members of the public that there is a special person in this car and to allow the wedding vehicles to travel together

i think it dates to middle ages to signify purity of the bride

Of course the may be removed upon request or other colours may be used

You dont have to have them! it is a symbol of a wedding to have them on the car. We even personalise our wedding ribbons with the bride and grooms name on them and the date of ther wedding. Then yours to keep after the day. A good way for husband to rememeber the dateif they are displayed somewhere at home!!

Hi Sabrina, white ribbons on a wedding car/limousine is a tradition to let other people know that we have a married couple on board, the colour does not have to be white. If you prefer not to advertise that you are getting married or just married you can ask the company not to supply any ribbon as this is optional & does not change the price

Hi Sabrina, its a historical thing and it's your day, you can ask for whatever you want. In my experience we've been asked to have no ribbons, different colored ribbons and even recently ribbons but no tule in the back window. You're the customer, it's really up to you.
