beribbon

Decorate with streamers

To beribbon is to decorate or adorn with ribbons.

The verb appears almost exclusively in its past participle form, beribboned, describing something festively or elaborately decorated: a beribboned gift box, beribboned military uniforms heavy with medals.

The be- prefix intensifies the action, suggesting thorough or generous application of ribbons rather than a single modest bow.
