10 simple and pretty wedding backdrops you can make yourself!

Paper scrolls

1/10

Whether you hang them from a wooden arch or against a wall, exude old-fashioned charms with calligraphy paper scrolls.

There are plenty of tutorials on how you can create your own scrolls; otherwise you can always buy them online.

So lit

2/10

Neon signs are now a thing at weddings, especially at lit ones. We love how the soft draperies contrast with the neon sign and how complete the set-up looks.

Just get a ton of fabric of your choice, knot them around a standing structure and complete it with a custom sign! It could be anything from a laser-cut wooden sign or a neon one as pictured.

Clear acrylic

3/10

For a modern and chic styling, consider including clear acrylic touches like this seating chart at your wedding. 

Get it professionally done and place it however and whereever you'd like for a backdrop or photo corner.

Crates and flowers

8/10

A backdrop does not always have to come in the form of an actual wall or standing structure.

This photo corner of flowers and crates is a cute and fun idea for your guests to take pictures at too.
