Backdrops That Wow

How to Pick the Right Backdrop for Your Event

Backdrops can completely transform a space and add that wow-factor your guests will remember. Whether you’re planning a birthday party, bridal shower, baby celebration or a corporate event, picking the right style of backdrop can help bring your theme together beautifully.

Here’s a quick guide to some of our favourite backdrop options, what they’re perfect for, and a few things to consider before hiring one.

Floral Walls

Floral walls are a timeless option that suits pretty much every occasion – from weddings to baby showers, birthday parties to brand launches. They’re incredibly versatile and can be customised in colours to match your theme.

There are a few different styles:

  • Floating Flowers on a Stand: This gives the illusion of flowers floating in the air, perfect for creating a dreamy, modern vibe. You can also add a white cloth to the stand for a cleaner, more cohesive look.

  • Floral Wall: A floral wall is a large board fully covered with flowers, designed to match your event's colour scheme and can even include a personalised phrase. It’s the perfect photo backdrop, a focal point for behind a cake or head table, for example.

Best for: romantic themes, and events where you want an elegant, soft feel.

Best for: weddings, proposals, baby showers and luxury picnics.

Backdrop Considerations Before You Choose

Before you settle on your perfect backdrop, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Venue Access

Some venues have restrictions around what can be hung from ceilings, how early we can access the space, or height limits.

Backdrop Size & Space

If you’re working with a smaller room, oversized arches or hanging installations might overwhelm the space. Best picks for small spaces: Floating flower stands, compact balloon arches, or a slim floral wall.

Purpose

Think about how the backdrop will be used — is it just for photos, or the main focal point?

Weather

Wind, rain, and uneven ground can make certain installations tricky.

Budget

Some styles require more labour and materials, which can bump up the cost. More budget-friendly options include balloon arches, floral walls, or floating flowers on a stand. Higher-impact options include ceiling garlands, hanging flowers, ceiling installations, or large floral arches.

Set-Up Time

Some installs need more time, tools, or crew to put together. If your venue has tight timeframes or access rules, opt for something quicker to install.
