Setting the scene and ambiance for a wedding is one of the most important details a bride will have to plan when styling her wedding. It's often hard to find a space that might accommodate your wedding's theme or color palette. That's why we created this stunning DIY backdrop that can be customized to fit your wedding's gorgeous colors. We styled this particular backdrop for our recent red, pink and gold wedding and couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out. Follow these few simple steps to find out how to create one of your own!
Your first step is to paint a DIY photo booth backdrop board. We started with the darkest color. We created a deep reddish pink hue by combining the red and magenta acrylic craft paint. We used to red as the base color and added magenta until we achieved our desired color. Use a wide bristle brush or foam paint roller to paint 1/4 of the backdrop. To create the ombre' affect, add white paint to your first color. Once you've achieved the next shade of pink you would like, paint it onto backdrop. Repeat this step 2 more times until your backdrop is completely painted four varying shades of reddish pink.
Cut a boxwood garland in half and then adhere it to your backdrop using 2 long strips of double-sided foam tape.
Trim your faux flowers including pink English Rose buds, coral Rose blooms, Phaleanopsis Spray so that the stem is just long enough to be talked into the attached boxwood garland. Fill in any necessary spaces with fresh greenery and flowers.
Add a wide bristle brush to add strokes of Mod Podge onto the painted backdrop. Place sheets of gold foil sheets onto the Mod Podge. Allow to dry for a minute or two and then brush away the excess foil with a clean, dry brush . You will be left with hints of glamorous gold details.
Place a gold bar cart displaying the evening's featured cocktails in front of your backdrop for a gorgeous, color coordinating display!
