7 Most Inspiring Ceremony Backdrops

#1:  Something Blue

Ah, something blue:  a cooling, calming color to soothe your wedding day nerves.  This particular backdrop is reminiscent of the ocean and is a welcome change of pace from the traditional neutral color palette. The birds are a whimsical addition.

This is one of my all-time favorite ceremony backdrops.  It was designed by the lovely Jesi Haack FOR THE COUPLE.  Incredible, right?  We love Jesi’s photography and her mad design skills. Take a peek…

#5:  Curtains + Wood Molding

This is one of those ceremony backdrops that reminds me of home interior design dubbed wedding decor.  It is created with a pair of curtain panels each pulled to the side and tied; it is displayed along with wood molding crafted to form almost a window-frame appearance.  Love.
