Ceremony Backdrop for Unique Layout Issue

Moriah, on January 25, 2021 at 7:35 PM Posted in Style and Décor 1 5

This seemed like the right place to ask for ideas regarding a backdrop for our ceremony. Our site has these beautiful Grecian-style pillars covered in foliage, but sadly there is a parking lot behind the rows of pillars. I plan to put cones out the night before to keep anyone from parking in the line of vision, but I suspect we’ll also want something else between us and the parking lot. Personally I love the look of a soft opaque curtain, but the one available for rent seems a bit short and lacks a romantic drape to it (first photo). I think the white lattice is a nice look, but not quite the style and ambiance I’m going for. Any ideas? Including ideas of how to hang a longer curtain in a way that is draped and romantic (without the pole in the bottom to weight it against the wind)? We’re getting married in June in central Michigan, so I don’t expect a lot of wind unless there’s a storm blowing in.

    Beautiful spot!! Perhaps a flower wall and drapes on either side would be pretty and hide the parking lot nicely. 🌸🌿💐Ceremony Backdrop for Unique Layout Issue 3

    A flower wall would be gorgeous!! 🌺

    You could also just use longer drapery that touches the ground! Here are a few inspo pics I found on Pinterest:

    These are gorgeous! I'll have to explore this idea more and see about DIYing it. We're trying to keep things as affordable as possible, and this looks pretty doable.

    This could be a lovely option! I want something that will let light through, and also be relatively affordable, but this definitely gives me some ideas.
