Creating Simple Wedding Backdrops: A Step-By-Step Guide

Planning a wedding can be a daunting task, but creating a simple wedding backdrop doesn't have to be. There are many DIY options that can add a unique and personal touch to your special day without breaking the bank. From rustic doors to fairy lights and flowers, the possibilities are endless. Here are some ideas to get you started:

- Chiffon and Fairy Lights: Combine white chiffon with fairy lights to create a simple yet elegant backdrop. You can also add flowers, love balloons, or vintage photo props to enhance the setting.

- Floral Hoop: A floral hoop backdrop is perfect for a garden or boho-themed wedding. Combine different lighting pieces, such as pendant lightbulbs, to create a stunning display that will shine during the day and night.

- Macramé: A macramé backdrop is a must-have for a boho wedding. You can buy pre-made macramé backdrops or make your own using macramé cords. It's a therapeutic project to ease pre-wedding jitters.

- Recycled Fabric Streamers: For an outdoor wedding, hang a clothesline between trees and drape recycled fabric for a billowing backdrop. Get creative by using old curtains, dresses, or picnic blankets.

- Hanging Eucalyptus: Create a natural chandelier by hanging eucalyptus branches from a slab of scrap wood or a fallen branch using twine and hooks. This backdrop can also be dried and repurposed as home decor after the wedding.

- Simple Arch: A simple arch can be easily crafted from thrift store finds or rented items. Look for a tall clothes rack and give it an elegant vintage look by painting it with copper spray paint or using copper foil tape, which can be easily removed afterward.

- Rustic Doors: For a rustic or vintage-themed wedding, use old door panels as a backdrop. Rest them against a wall or secure them in place with L-brackets. The aged look of the doors adds a charming touch to your decor.

Floral wreaths and chiffon

Step 1: Prepare the Floral Arrangements

Start by creating tiny floral arrangements. Hold 2-3 types of greenery horizontally and fold the stems accordingly. Then, wire 2-3 pieces of the main flowers onto the stems. You can use flowers such as roses, peonies, sunflowers, or eucalyptus.

Step 2: Assemble the Floral Hoop Wreaths

Once the tiny floral arrangements are completed, it's time to assemble the floral hoop wreaths. Wire the floral arrangements onto your hoop frame, and use floral tape to secure the flowers firmly. You can also use a hot glue gun for extra security.

There is no right or wrong way to arrange the flowers on the hoop. Get creative and try out different layouts until you find one that you like best! You can put the flowers on only one side of the hoop or cover the entire hoop, depending on the look you want to achieve.

Step 3: Add the Chiffon Ribbon

To finish off the wreaths, cut a chiffon ribbon at your desired length and tie a bow at the bottom of each hoop. You can use a dusty rose-colored ribbon to add a touch of elegance. You can also add hints of pearl beads to the ribbon for a chic look.

Step 4: Hang the Wreaths

These floral hoop wreaths can be hung above a mantel, on a door, or used as a backdrop for your wedding ceremony. They will look gorgeous both indoors and outdoors. After the wedding, you can hang them in your home as a lasting reminder of your special day.

Copper square arch

A copper square arch is a great choice for an indoor wedding ceremony. It is relatively small and can be easily crafted from a tall clothes rack found at a thrift shop.

To achieve the copper look, you can either paint the rack with copper spray paint or use copper foil tape, which can be easily removed after the wedding. This is a good option if you are renting or borrowing the rack.

For a more permanent option, you can purchase a copper arch from Etsy or Amazon, with some options including a geometric design or a copper chuppah kit.

If you're feeling creative, you can also make your own copper arch by using copper pipes and fittings from your local home improvement store. This gives you the flexibility to design the arch to your desired specifications.

The copper square arch is a simple yet elegant choice for your wedding backdrop, and with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can make it a reality.

Wedding flower wall

A wedding flower wall is a large wall full of flowers that is very trendy and popular. It can be used as a backdrop for ceremonies or receptions, and can be customised to fit the style of the wedding.

Planning

Before you start building your flower wall, you need to decide whether you want to use real or fake flowers. Real flowers will need to be added to the wall very close to the wedding day, whereas fake flowers can be added well in advance. You will also need to decide on the types and colours of flowers you want to use, and how large you want the flower wall to be.

Materials

To make a flower wall, you will need:

Two sheets of 80in x 40in plywood
Three 3-5 inch door hinges
1/2-3/4 inch screws
Four 40in x 40in faux boxwood panels
Loose flowers or pre-made swags
A power drill
A staple gun
Scissors
Wire snips

Construction

Lay your plywood boards side by side on the floor with the long sides adjacent, and attach the hinges to connect them.
Flip the structure over so that the hinges are facing the ground, and trim any screw tips that are poking through with wire snips.
Unroll your faux boxwood panels and arrange them to cover the back of the structure.
Use a staple gun to affix the panels to the boards.
Stand the structure up and check for any sagging or peeling places, trimming away any spots where the boxwood sheet overhangs the plywood by more than one inch.
Attach your flowers to the wall. You can do this by leaving the stems long and punching the flowers into the boxwood backing, or by making garlands or chicken wire structures full of flowers and stapling or wiring them onto the backdrop.

Display

To display your flower wall, simply lean the structure against a wall. If you need it to stand upright independently, you can construct some basic triangular trusses to attach to the back outer edge of each board.

Cost

The cost of a DIY flower wall is relatively cheap, with the plywood, staple gun and fake flowers being the main expenses. However, renting a flower wall is much more expensive. The price of a flower wall should reflect the cost of materials, the time and labour put into construction, and the sophistication of the final product.

After the Wedding

After the wedding, you could keep the flower wall and hang it in your home, lend it to a friend, or sell it online. If you used real flowers, you could also compost them or throw the whole thing away.

Recycled paper flower arch

A recycled paper flower arch is a beautiful, sustainable, and cost-effective option for a simple wedding backdrop. Here are some steps and tips to create this DIY backdrop for your special day:

Materials and Preparation:

Source recycled paper: Look for recycled paper from charity shops, freecycle routes, or car boot sales. Old novels, unused maps, or vintage wallpaper can add a unique and eco-friendly touch to your flowers.
Choose your flower style: Decide on the type of flowers you want to create. You can make paper roses, lilies, daisies, or even exotic flowers like gold lilies or rainbow orchids.
Gather additional supplies: You will need a sturdy base for your arch, such as a metal piping arch or wooden beams. Additionally, gather crafting essentials like glue, scissors, paint or coloured paper, floral wire, and ribbon.

Creating the Paper Flowers:

Cut and shape the petals: Use recycled paper to cut out petal shapes in various sizes, depending on the type of flower you are creating. You can add texture and dimension by curling or shaping the petals with scissors.
Assemble the flowers: Layer and glue the petals together to form each flower. You can add details like stamens or leaves using smaller pieces of paper. Create a variety of flowers in different sizes and colours to add interest and depth to your arch.
Add stems and leaves: Use floral wire or thin twine to create stems for your flowers. You can also create leaves by cutting leaf shapes from green paper and attaching them to the stems.

Constructing the Arch:

Build the arch frame: Set up your arch frame at the desired location. Ensure it is stable and secure. If using a metal piping arch, you may need to paint it with copper spray paint or cover it with copper foil tape for a more elegant look.
Attach the flowers: Use floral wire, ribbon, or heavy-duty tape to attach the paper flowers to the arch. You can group the flowers in small clusters or attach them individually. Play around with the arrangement until you achieve the desired look.
Fill in gaps: If there are any gaps in the arch, you can fill them with greenery, such as faux floral garlands or vines. You can also add hanging decorations like lanterns or fairy lights to enhance the overall effect.

Final Touches:

Test and adjust: Step back and view the arch from different angles to ensure it looks balanced and symmetrical. Make any necessary adjustments by moving or adding flowers to create a cohesive design.
Prepare for transportation: If you are assembling the arch off-site, plan how you will transport it to the wedding venue. Consider the size and weight of the arch and whether it can be easily disassembled and reassembled.
Enjoy your eco-friendly backdrop: Congratulations! You now have a beautiful and sustainable backdrop for your wedding. Not only does it look stunning, but it also reduces waste and helps the environment.
