Say aloha to this gorgeous, flowing display that serves double duty as both a photo booth and a beautiful backdrop! We created this setup for a Tropical Bridal Shower that we hosted, and it instantly helped transform our party space into a tropical oasis! Guests love snapping fun photos with the bride-to-be at her bridal shower, and the printed pics make a really cool memento to include in thank you notes after the shower is over.
To begin, tie the loose end of Natural Jute Cording around the end of a Faux Wisteria Floral Stem. Add a dab of hot glue on top of the jute knot to secure it in place on the stem.
Tie the stem onto a thin rod (we used an inexpensive curtain rod from our local department store), then cut off the excess cording. Repeat this process with additional stems, alternating the cord length so that some stems hang lower than others. Add dabs of hot glue on top of the knots on the rod to help secure them in place.
Wrap Tropical Fern Leaf Polyester Leis around the rod to create a base of greenery, then tie or hot glue them into place.
Cut leaves from Faux Tropical Palm Garland and Bamboo Garland, then secure them randomly on top of the fern leis until the rod greenery looks nice and plush.
Next, snip the flowers from Plumeria Garland and secure them on top of the lush greenery.
Snip a few flowers from the wisteria and use them to add a finishing touch to the rod arrangement.
Clip a few more wisteria blooms and use hot glue to attach them to the exposed jute cording that is hanging from the rod.
If your photo booth will be against a wall, add some wall-safe hooks to your wall and hang the rod from them to create your backdrop. Otherwise, you can secure your hooks to wood posts like we did here, then hang your rod from those. Now all that's left to do is strike a pose and enjoy!
