Forgo expensive picture frames by using doilies to display photos at your wedding. Set up this DIY photo display as a wedding backdrop behind your card and gift table. You can create this look to coordinate with any wedding color palette using simple spray paint, paper doilies, and printed photos. Along with photos of your dating life together, mix in some images of your parents' weddings and grandparents' weddings. A lovely (and easy) way to display photos at your wedding!

Step
1

Lay down each doily on a piece of cardboard or a drop cloth. Spray paint with the color of your choice. Here I used a matte finish blush pink.

Use the glue dots to attach the doilies to the wall at your venue. Chose coordinating flowers and props to style your table. Pretty ranunculus and orchids are displayed in a frosted glass bottle. Black votive candles add a moody, romantic look to the table.
