Backdrops!

Have you ever wished you could just see all the backdrops we have done in one easy place? We have created so many backdrops in so many different variations that it would take ages to go through our entire blog searching for them. Here are some of our very favorite backdrops for your viewing pleasure!


The Pipe and Drape Backdrop: In it's most basic form this is a 20ft wide by 8ft tall frame on which we hang white sheer curtains and a drape of color across the top and down the sides. Lighting can be in the form of white string lights or up-lighting.

To make it a bit more fancy we can add pillars and additional drapery:

 We can also use do a paneled version using a 10 ft section and hang panels of fabric rather than the sheer curtains. This is more of a statement piece.

The Jen Backdrop: I created this for my little sister who asked for a new "flowy" backdrop. It has since become one of our most popular and uses 4 pillars with sheer fabric draping between the pillars and a "frame" of colored drape across the top and down the sides. This backdrop is usually between 12 and 15ft wide. 

Sometimes we create smaller, "condensed" versions to place behind the cake.

Wrought Iron Arch Backdrop: This is a simple 8ft tall wrought iron arch that looks lovely when wrapped in fabric.

Hanging Flower Backdrops: Using our 10ft x 8ft pipe frame, we have hung flowers in mason jars from twine to create a romantic, vintage vibe.

For a recent youth fashion show, we added vintage sewing patterns in frames along with baby's breath in mason jars.

Rustic and Vintage Backdrop Variations: We also are able to create new backdrops from various pieces we are able to acquire such as antique doors, fencing and pallet wood.

This past weekend we were able to decorate a gorgeous wedding for a lovely couple. They had a 2-day celebration so we were able to create 2 lovely backdrops for them, one for the wedding day and one for the reception the following day. Additionally, we created 45 centerpieces for the reception and the end result was nothing short of stunning.

Wedding Day:

The couple requested a pipe and drape paneled backdrop for their wedding with two short pillars. I believe the bride put vases with lit candles on top of the pillars but I wasn't there to get a picture of that. The colors on the wedding day were magenta pink, gold, and green.

Reception Day:

By the time we finished setting up the decor on the day of the reception, the lights had been dimmed and the pink uplights (which were amazing!) were turned on so our pictures are not as clear as they may have been had the regular room lights been on. We did manage to get a couple of pictures of the backdrop the next day before we took it down, so that helps.

The reception colors were silver and baby pink, however, at the last minute the napkins arrived and were magenta so we added a magenta ribbon to the backdrop to tie it all together.

With the pink lights:

The next day in the sunshine: (don't mind some of the mussed up fabric as people were cleaning up around it)

Centerpieces: There were two centerpieces, a tall one (with natural branches and hanging crystals in a tall vase with waterbeads and a pink LED light) and a short one (with 3 vases of varying heights, with two of the vases holding twigs and floating candles and the third vase had a pink snapdragon and a white LED light in waterbeads. They looked gorgeous!

This weekend we were privileged to put together a gorgeous backdrop for this snowy weekend. The bride's colors were a very classy red and white with a bit of crystal bling. The wedding was held at the lovely Ritz Charles in Overland Park, KS.

We used the pipe and drape backdrop with a white valence and white lights throughout. I loved how clean and elegant it looked with the white drape. Additionally, we hung crystal strands with small red roses on them. In front oft he backdrop we put two small pillars topped with flower balls made of red roses with crystal beading, sitting atop an Eiffel tower vase. We also placed two more of these arrangements on either side of the pillars. The end result was nothing short of stunning and the pictures really don't do it justice.

Santa's Toyland

We had so much fun decorating a Santa's Toyland for the Waterstone Apartment complex this past weekend! It was honestly one of the most fun decorating jobs we've done. I'm not ashamed to say that as we got to work, we turned up the Christmas music loud and sang along as we hung lights, ribbon and fabric.

We hear that Santa was delighted when he came to meet with the kids of the community, so we are pretty sure that will land us on the "Nice" list this year. Maybe we will get that new silver and gold draping we've been wanting. ;)

We decorated the room with wrapped presents, small Christmas trees and large stuffed animals. From the ceiling we hung white lights and polka-dotted ribbon. The doors were guarded by two large nutcrackers along a candy-cane path. We were thrilled with the results but we would love to hear what you think!
