DIY IDEAS: 10 BACKDROP FAVORITES

Sometimes you want to direct the focus of your guests onto a certain area - a perfect example being the wedding ceremony altar, the wedding couple's seats in the reception venue or a dessert table - and adding a backdrop can be a great way. If you're looking for a little diy inspiration, check out the ideas we collected from around the web.




Easier than paper poms and they don't wrinkle when you store or transport them: yarn poms. We spotted this aweseome backdrop idea on the Three Nations Blog






We're loving this ceremony backdrop of this styled shoot featured on Ruffled. Striped fabric curtains and giant paper flowers - so cool!






Helium filled balloons make for a great backdrop. Whether you use only one color of balloons or several, or you layer different types of balloons as Bando are doing here - it's always a fun element.






Alright, in this case, the tree really does its part in creating the perfect wedding ceremony backdrop. But the flowing ribbon garlands would also look pretty in other environments - we're sure of it!






More ribbons - and a lovely example of how you don't need that giant, awesome tree (above) to make this kind of backdrop work. Layer ribbons of one color scheme in different lengths to create this effect. So pretty! We spotted this one in this wedding featured on Ruffled.
