How to Decorate a Kid's Wagon for a Wedding

An old-fashioned wagon is ideal for a western or country theme.

The very young flower girl or ring bearer is pulled down the aisle in a decorated wagon for an adorable touch to a wedding. Another touching option is for the children to pull a wagon that is filled with flowers, the ring bearer's pillow and rings or photos of the couple as children. Decorate a kid's wagon with colors and flowers that match the wedding theme and decor. Keep the materials well away from the wheels of the wagon for the safety of the child.

Things You'll Need

• Tulle
• Clear packing tape
• Ribbon
• Flowers or leaves
• Ribbon bows
• Safety pins
• Wedding bells
• Floral supply doves

Instructions

1. 

   A red metal wagon will work for a wedding transport.

   Drape the tulle across the front and sides of the wagon and secure it with the clear packing tape. The draped effect is formed with U-shaped swags. Keep the draped fabric away from the wheels. If the wagon has slats, tie the swags in place with pieces of ribbon.

2. Wind two different colored ribbons around the handle of the wagon for a colorful effect. Secure the ends of the ribbon to the handle with packing tape.

3. Pin ribbon bows or flowers with safety pins over the tape to cover it. Fresh or silk fall leaves are a nice touch at an autumn wedding.

4. Tie a ribbon bow to the pull handle.

5. Attach wedding bells and artificial floral supply doves to the tulle swags with safety pins or tape.

Tips & Warnings

• Place a cushion inside of the wagon for a soft seat for the child or children to sit on. An infant who is unable to sit up properly should be secured in an infant carrier. The carrier should also be secured to the wagon bed.

• Paint the wagon in a wedding theme color, with child-safe paint, several days before the ceremony.
