Set the perfect tone at your wedding by creating a beautiful table backdrop filled with inspiring words and letters of love. Add your names, wedding date, favorite quotes and even your wedding vows. This rustic backdrop will provide a simple, gorgeous background for your head wedding table.

Step
1

Cut three 6-foot sections out of two Kraft Paper Rolls. Decide what words or phrases you want on your wedding backdrop and write the phrases onto the kraft paper with a pencil so you can lay it all out. You will have three separate sections; a middle, and two side sections. TIP: Don't have perfect handwriting? Print out your sayings and design, color the back of the paper with chalk, then trace the lettering on the front of the paper with a pencil. The chalk will leave fine lines for you to then trace with perfect accuracy.

Trace over the pencil words with a White Chalk Marker. Go over some of the words two times if needed to make the letters really stand out.

Using Mavalus Tape, hang the middle section of your kraft paper roll onto a door, large piece of plywood or other hard surface of your choice. I used a three-panel room divider.

Display your wedding backdrop behind the head table where the bride and groom sit. You could accent the front center of the backdrop with a Gold Wreath with Silver Dollar Eucalyptus if desired.
