Everything in This Slideshow

Before the processional begins, all of your guests will be staring at one thing: the altar, or whatever else you've put in front of them. To prevent boredom, make sure that this space stands out. Not every venue comes with breathtaking views, and even fewer are festooned with built-in décor. If your ceremony location is simply decorated, consider bringing in your own installation. That option is also great for couples looking to cover up an eyesore or fixture that they don't like. Plus, a pretty background will look great in the pictures your photographer captures while you're exchanging vows.
Wedding ceremony backdrops don't have to be complicated to be stunning. To help you pick one that's foolproof, eye-catching, and appropriate for your venue and theme, we've compiled some of our favorite ideas, many of which can be DIYed (or easily tackled by an event designer and/or floral designer). If you're a flower lover, you'll find a range of beautiful ways to use blooms to decorate the end of your aisle. If artistic canvases are more your style, we've provided a couple of ways to design one. Perhaps you fancy sharing special lyrics or quotes—we've got a number of ways you can do that, too. In the mix are outdoor and indoor options, seasonal selections, and inspiration that runs the gamut from classic to rustic to modern. If that latter idea speaks to you, take a good look at this Inessa Nichols Design backdrop. The pro created a colorful environment with bright bougainvillea, tropical leaves and palms, graphic birds of paradise, and a selection of painted flowers and dried leaves.
Click through to find the right scene for you. No matter which type of background you choose, know that these wedding backdrop ideas are all editor-approved.
Celestial Charm
A crescent moon made from pampas grass? Out of this world! The Twelve Events devised this intergalactic way to frame a couple for this waterfront ceremony. The feathery structure flutters in the wind, as air and water merge in the distance. Talk about celebrating the elements.
Take a Dip
Spark + Sparkle Events, Scout Rentals, and Lori Boe Floral Design put this modern backdrop together by hanging gauzy dip-dyed fabric from an industrial copper structure, then framed the entire space with asymmetrical floral arrangements. If you're up for embracing a bold color palette but want to soften it up a bit, this could be the way to do it.
On the Mantel
This ceremony broughout the indoors out thanks to a freestanding fireplace surround decorated with bountiful blooms and greenery. Lovelyfest and Adornments Flowers are to credit for this setting, which was further enhanced with a coordinating rug for the couple to stand on as they get married.
Industrial Tropical
Mix fresh elements in to your industrial setting to make a style all your own. This couple (who tied the knot at Brick San Diego) tapped Francine Ribeau Events and Blooms by Breeze Lee to bring their dream backdrop—a wall of tropical greenery and pink-and-white blooms—to life. This look would also work for a photo booth backdrop during the reception!
Up in the Air
How fun is this wedding ceremony backdrop by Jesi Haack Design? The balloons gave the wedding a youthful vibe, but the golden mylar exteriors ensured it all looked modern. If you're not into a word like "Love," your new joint initial in an oversize inflatable would work, too.
Flower Power
Kiana Underwood of Tulipina turned this rustic ceremony venue into a floral fantasy, with a large wreath at the center. The lined-aisle drew everyone's eyes to the stage and the round statement piece, which was eight-feet in diameter so it surrounded the couple entirely as an all-natural flower backdrop.
Taking Shape
Brightly Ever After specializes in wedding backdrop rentals and custom installations, and this geometric latticed number was one for the books. We love that it had a presence without blocking the views in the distance.
