The night sky would not be complete without the moon, and any love story created under an ethereal full moon covered in peony blooms is bound to last a lifetime. This swoon-worthy backdrop would make for a stunning display behind the bride and groom as they say their vows and looks equally as gorgeous paired with a cake table as we styled it. Although it's a fairly easy backdrop to create, the result is a beautiful statement piece destined to leave your guests starry-eyed!
Begin creating your backdrop by assembling a DIY Photo Booth Backdrop Board according to directions included. Once assembled, paint the entire surface with blue paint to resemble the midnight sky.
Once the blue paint has dried, add "stars" using a gold paint marker. Press firmly on the point and shake the marker over the top of the backdrop. The paint will splatter at random so be sure to do this in an area that has been covered where you don't mind getting a few splashes of paint.
Next, lay a realistic full moon cut out on top of your freshly painted night sky and adhere together using double sided foam tape.
Now add three layers of peony blooms in a crescent shape on the left side of the moon. Carefully trim the plastic stem part from the backside of each and hot glue directly onto the moon. I used approximately four white peony floral mats for this step.
Fill in any gaps between the peonies with small clusters of white hydrangea blooms. I found it was easiest to do this step once the backdrop was standing up as opposed to laying flat. This better helped to see the spaces that needed filled. A small dab of hot glue will work to keep them in place.
Finally, display your ethereal Dreamy Floral Moon Backdrop in a prominent location during your Starry Night Wedding for everyone to swoon over!
