Discreet/attractive wall hooks for hanging decor at venue?

Pom, on August 21, 2018 at 9:23 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 6

Ok, so I'm a little stumped on this. I am only doing a couple of DIYs for my wedding, and one of them is making a floral wall hanging similar to what is pictured here:

https://images.prod.meredith.com/product/34c0ad6cac668aaf32829cfc5624a364/1519101063385/l/loren-garland-floral-wall-hanging-wedding-arch-decor-flower-backdrop-baby-shower-boho-wedding-photo-booth-backdrop-nursery-decor


I'm going to have it hung on the wall behind our entry way table. The venue specified to me that hanging things on the wall is fine, as long as it is hung using a removable Command hook or similar piece of hardware, that will not damage the wall. Our wedding is taking place at a historic venue so I definitely don't want to push it and risk damaging the wall and creating a whole fiasco.


The problem is, Command hooks are super ugly and conspicuous. This type of wall hanging, in my opinion, would look best if it were affixed to the wall using only a small nail, but obviously that's not an option. Most of the hooks that I would be able to use are clunky and either white plastic or a stainless steel finish, neither of which compliment my decor and I think they'd look extremely silly.


One solution I did think about was to spray paint the hook? I'll be using a brass finish metallic spray paint on a frame that is to be placed on the entry way table, so I could paint it to match. Still, it would be so conspicuous looking and distracting. Another option I thought of would be to get the smallest Command hook I could find (my wall hanging will not be very heavy) and cover it with a large flower to match what I already have going on with my hanging?


Help!! I'm struggling. Did anybody else run into a similar issue at their wedding?

    They make silver, black, white, clear command hooks now. And really discrete ones as well. I'd just check out Lowes/Home Depot/Target for some options. Also consider the weight. That's always my biggest worry.

    What about painting the command hooks, and adding some greenery or florals to the long stick part of the hanging feature?

    I dont think you would be able to hid the hooks very well if you did the design exactly like the one pictured.

    Or maybe have more than one stick at the top? so that its larger and will hide the hooks??

    Yeah, maybe a clear one could be my best option. My actual wall hanging won't be as heavy as the one pictured likely is. As of right now I think I'm using a thing dowel instead of an actual stick.

    We are doing a collage on a wall with flowers afixed to gold diamond shaped wires. I am just going to use clear command hooks (the smallest that I KNOW will get the job done) and try to somewhat hide with the flowers. Honestly though, I doubt people will really notice especially from a distance and even if they do they'll never remember once they turn their gaze elsewhere. At least that's my thought, hah.

    If you are using a branch with flat spots that actually touch the wall, or a dowel, you can use Command Hanging strips instead of hooks. One half goes on the wall, the other half in the matching spot on the branch or dowel. No hook is seen at all.

    They have clear command hooks that you won't even notice unless you're staring right at them. They come in different sizes too. Check Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot, and Michaels!
