Four Unique Floral Ceremony Backdrops That'll Make You Swoon
So you're planning your dream wedding, and you've probably already spent countless hours scrolling through Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration. But so many ceremonies have the same, stale look, and you want yours to feel artful and unique. One way to do that is to have a show-stopping floral backdrop for your ceremony. Not only will it make your ceremony photos pop, but it's also a great way to add an eye-catching and personal touch to your big day. Whether you're someone who loves an elegant, monochromatic look or someone who loves all the colors and wildflower whimsy, there's a perfect floral backdrop out there for every couple. Don’t settle for a basic altar or plain backdrop when you could have something that truly expresses your creative style. Lucky for you, creating artful floral pieces is our specialty! Let's dive into some cool examples of unique floral backdrops for your wedding:
1) A deconstructed arch.
We love this asymmetrical, deconstructed arch we made at Firehouse Chicago for Alexa and Mike. The pampas grass and palm leaves added so much fun texture to their backdrop. It framed their first kiss as a married couple perfectly - don’t ya think?! We love the photos Nikki Kate Photography took that day.

Here’s an example of a more simple, monochromatic deconstructed arch. We made this elegant baby’s breath ceremony backdrop for Dana and Ryan’s wedding at The Carter.
2) A statement floral piece mounted on the wall or hanging from the ceiling.
We’re OBSESSED with this floral wall hanging we made for Allie and Doug at The Joinery. The dahlias, roses, and greenery really popped against the white exposed brick wall. Their wedding photos by Wes Craft Photography turned out SO amazing, and we like to think this floral statement piece had something to do with it.
3) A cool shape like a hexagon or triangle.

Why have an arch when you can have something more fun and geometric? We love a hexagon ceremony backdrop adorned with tropical leaves and cheerful flowers. We loved how this backdrop turned out for Emily and Jake at The Arbory.

Triangles are another fun shape to have as your backdrop. Just look how cool and boho it looks behind Cristien and Matt at City View Loft!
4) Whimsical hanging flowers.
Does this give off Alice in Wonderland whimsical vibes or what?! These hanging flowers we made for Chelsea and Tilo’s wedding at Salvage One are so dreamy and lighthearted. They add so much character to the eclectic nature of the venue. Thanks to their photographer, Sarah Larson Photo, for capturing their flowers so beautifully.
Besides having a stunning backdrop for your ceremony, another perk of having a cool backdrop is that we can repurpose the floral piece somewhere else after your vows. Typically, we like to frame the sweetheart or head table with the ceremony backdrop, so that it can be the center of attention all wedding day AND night.
