Decor Inspiration: Backdrop Beauty

Wedding backdrops have become huge! Whether you choose to have one at your ceremony or behind the head table, backdrops are one of the top trending focus elements moving into 2013.

 

We are currently designing some amazing backdrops for an upcoming wedding, which was the inspiration behind this post.   We can't tell you how much we love that by adding this element to the party, it allows us to infuse an enormous amount of style.  Backdrops can transform your decor and truly set the stage for your wedding.

We have always been a fan of backdrops here at SoCo Events and love how they create the ceremony focal point, turn a dessert table into a confectionary centerpiece or provide color and style for the background of photos.  Here are a few of our favorite background beauties...

Our paper flower wall was inspired by a Chanel runway show, and Amaryllis was amazing in making it come to life!

Isn't this ceremony backdrop dreamy?!?!?

I love the texture and dimension!

Like a love letter from years past, this backdrop is ultra romantic!

The color blocking would be great as a photo booth backdrop

We loved seeing our name in lights!  

As you are planning the decor for your event, don't forget the power of the backdrop.  You will thank yourself later when looking at all of your photos!

Summer Weddings: Chill Out!

As the temperatures approach triple digits today, we wanted to provide you with some tips to keep your guests cool during your outdoor summer ceremony.  When making the decision to say your "I do's" outdoors, always take into account rising temperatures and blistering sun.  Aim to not have your ceremony during the hours were the sun is the strongest and choose a spot that provides shade.  It is also a great idea to include the following:

Greet guests with a refreshing cold non alcoholic beverage

These misters will provide great scented relief

Because no one wants unprotected guests!

How amazing would chilled towels feel after a hot ceremony?!?

Stay cool today!!!
