How it's used
Refers specifically to vehicles decorated for celebratory events, most commonly weddings or public parades. While it can describe a wedding car, it is not a generic term for any car used in a wedding; it implies the vehicle has been adorned with ribbons, flowers, or other festive decorations.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a regular car or a limousine unless it is specifically decorated for a wedding or parade. Using it for a standard vehicle will confuse listeners as it implies a festive or ceremonial context.
