Choose the Right Location

One of the most important things to consider when adding a photo backdrop is the location. Choose a spot that faces natural light, as it will create a perfect setting for your photoshoot. You can set up a backdrop in your backyard, at a public park, or even indoors if the lighting is right. It's great to have natural light in the background which would give an ethereal effect to your backdrop. Choose a backdrop that is in contrast to the environment it's in, it should complement and add interest.


Pick a Theme

Next, you’ll want to choose a backdrop that complements the theme of your event. You can opt for a floral backdrop for a garden-themed wedding, a sequin backdrop for a sparkle-inspired bachelorette party, or a pastel backdrop for a Mother's Day lunch. It's essential to choose a theme before choosing the backdrop.

DIY Your Backdrop

You don't have to spend a fortune on your backdrop. With a little bit of creativity, you can create a unique and personalized backdrop that will impress your guests. You can use floral garlands, paper flowers, balloons, fairy lights, bunting flags, tassel garlands, or anything that relates to the theme of your event. You can also use your creativity to set up a DIY backdrop.


Add Props

Another great way to add interest to your backdrop is by using props. Props add personality and style to your photoshoot. You can use large letter props or signs, vintage sofas, bohemian rugs, oversized floral arrangements, fairy light decorations, or anything that matches your theme. Balloons and other decorations can also be part of the props.


Hire a Professional

If you are planning a large-scale event or want a more elaborate backdrop, you might consider hiring a professional. Event planners and photographers have experience in creating stunning backdrops that will make your photos stand out. You could share your ideas and inspiration with them which would tailor the backdrop to your theme and event.


Standing Props

Bringing in standing props like oversized letters and numbers is definitely one way to make sure your guests enjoy themselves. Big letters are always fun for guests to pose with, and you can customize them however you like. You could spell out “2020” or “Happy Birthday” - whatever fits best with your theme! Plus, if it’s an outdoor event, large props like this are easy to spot in pictures from far away.
