If you’re not getting married in a church or location with a fabulous view, you may want to DIY a wedding ceremony backdrop to pull together your ceremony space and jazz up your I DO’s, not to mention your photos. Here are 5 great ideas for a wedding ceremony backdrop:
{Backdrop for a DIY Wedding}
Fun, whimsical, and totally DIY, a pinwheel backdrop is perfect for you brides having a DIY wedding with lots of handmade touches.
{Backdrop for the Personal Wedding}
What could be more personal than sharing your wedding vows or a special reading, note, etc. on your wedding ceremony backdrop? This idea includes an aisle runner too, which ties the whole thing together. You’d need very minimal ceremony decor with this jawdropping backdrop.
{Backdrop for the Modern Wedding}
This backdrop of stacked blocks decorated in geometric shapes and cool colors is perfect for a both an outdoor or indoor modern wedding. Add some rugs for the wedding party to stand on and you’re all set.
{Backdrop for the Cool Wedding}
This one is perfect for artists, hipsters, creatives, or the couple that has a lot of hands on help. Because those cranes would take forever, so unless you’re super talented with loads of time on your hands, you’re going to need hired help on this one. But I love the tiny paper cranes against the dark fabric background, don’t you?
{Backdrop for the Classic Wedding}
Are your wedding tastes more of the classic variety, but you still want to add a little touch of personality to your day? A sweet sign, banner, or saying hung above you during the ceremony is the perfect touch.
Which is your ceremony backdrop style? Any ideas you’d like to add to the list?

Oh wow! The vow backdrop is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! I can’t wait to see someone I know do this in person at their wedding.
Love all these ideas!!! But how perfect is that Oh Lovely Day one?!
I love the vows backdrop. The image of the script behind them is beautiful in and of itself but then when you realize it’s their vows…too cute!
I saw a backdrop that was an elaborate chalk drawing on the side of a building recently. It was pretty fantastic.
I’m helping a friend with her wedding and she absolutely loves the backdrop of stacked blocks decorated in geometric shapes and cool colors. What did you guys use for the blocks? Is it cardboard? The geometrical shapes, is it fabric or painted on? I can’t tell. Looks great though. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Hi Nick- We didn’t make all of the backdrops, just collected the ideas to share. Event designer and stylist Jesi Haack made the geometric one – you might want to ask her.
