Botanical Curtain Floral Backdrop
Swap vinyl photo backdrops for a living tapestry of layered greenery and fresh blooms. This floor-to-ceiling “curtain” moves gently with every breeze.
Materials Needed
Instructions
Secure chicken wire panels to the frame, overlapping seams for a continuous grid.
Weave ruscus and smilax through the mesh, letting vines hang naturally to create initial coverage (aim for ~70 % opaque).
Insert water-filled picks behind focal blooms; push stems through mesh so heads sit flush with greenery.
Cluster larger blooms in organic “pockets,” then feather accent flowers outward for depth.
Step back every 20 minutes, filling any gaps to ensure the curtain looks full from all angles.
Mist thoroughly, lower room temperature if possible, and photograph test shots to confirm even color distribution.
Helpful Tips
Use hardy greenery first—smilax provides length and movement while hiding mechanics effortlessly.
Stick to a tight palette (e.g., peach + butter yellow) for editorial cohesion; resist the urge to “rainbow”.
Post-ceremony, relocate the backdrop behind the sweetheart table or dessert display for double duty.
