About this collection
We construct our backdrops using stable 10ft by 8ft metal frames, ensuring safety and visual balance in any venue. Our process includes integrated lighting setups, specifically using LED PAR cans to highlight the floral texture without glare, so your engagement photos come out crisp. We recommend finalizing your design at least two weeks before the event to ensure we can source the specific flower varieties for your chosen theme.
Designing Your Backdrop
The backdrop serves as the architectural foundation of your engagement stage. We avoid generic drapes by focusing on layered structures, including circular floral arches, geometric frames, and personalized monograms. Every design is built to frame the couple, not just fill the wall.
Our Process
- Structural Planning: Whether you choose a garden-themed green wall or a fabric-heavy backdrop, we ensure the framework is secure and centered.
- Lighting Design: We use a combination of profile lights to focus on the couple and back-lighting to provide depth to the floral or fabric backdrop.
- Floral Integrity: We use a mix of local marigolds for traditional aesthetics and roses or carnations for contemporary styles. The flowers are arranged to provide full coverage, hiding the frame structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you set up in a home venue? Yes, we adapt our 10ft x 8ft standard frame to fit residential spaces. We often use minimalist corner designs or floral walls that do not require massive stage clearance.
What is included in the setup time? We typically allocate 3 to 4 hours for on-site setup. This includes assembly, flower pinning, lighting adjustment, and a final check to ensure everything is aligned. We also handle the dismantling process once the event concludes.
