Hey bride! You’re here! You must be on a hunt for a peg for your wedding ceremony backdrop. If you’ve chosen a bare venue for your upcoming wedding, then your options are limitless, and your opportunities endless.
We’ve listed 13 ceremony backdrops you can save and show your groom, coordinator, and stylist. We honestly couldn’t choose just one!
- Flower Arch
Lush, fresh flowers in season make for a classic arch-shaped backdrop. This is great in any place – whether you’re having an outdoor or an indoor venue. If you’re going for an elegant ceremony, this is a great option.

2. Rustic
Or maybe you’re more into the rustic aesthetic? How to achieve the rustic look: Flowers in more earthy colors (hello dried flowers!), tree branches, logs, and some candles arranged to make them look like they’ve been there before you.

3. Grounded Floral Arch
This is something new, and cute! Instead of a backdrop that obstructs a gorgeous view, stick to placing your ceremony flowers in an arch on the floor. Perfect for that mountain or by-the-sea wedding.
4. Boho Chic
All the boho chics put your hands up! A trend that we don’t see going anywhere soon, boho chic backdrops bring in a combination of natural and structural elements. In this case, dried flowers and a golden wall. Finish it off with patterned carpets for a complete boho look.
5. Chapel
One of our favorites – the chapel structure. It mimics the shape of a quaint chapel in your mother’s hometown, giving the ceremony a more solemn vibe. Set it up against an indoor white wall, or high in the mountains. It will work. Trust us.

6. Macrame
Maybe a backdrop that you can bring home afterwards? This is such a cute idea, since your backdrop can very well be your remembrance of that very special day. There are now a lot of macrame artists in the Philippines that you can tap for this look, unless you yourself want to dabble on it? Why not?! Even makes it more special.
7. Geometric color blocks
Trendy and bold – the use of geometric color blocks is another trend we so love to photograph. It’s vibrant and fun – something to consider if you and your partner have such personalities. This is quite a way to set the mood.
8. Words
Ah, words. We’re forever fans of beautifully written words. Your favorite lyrics, Bible verse, or your personally written vows will make for a meaningful and gorgeous backdrop. Save to board!
9. Flower wall
Now this is something great for when you’re having an at-home ceremony! Simply attach freshly picked flowers on your white curtain to transform your wall into a ceremony backdrop. Perfect for that dainty, linen-dress-wearing bride. ;)
10. Balloons
Festive and fun can also be romantic! Balloons give so much fun vibes to any place, and there’s just a lot you can do! Balloons come in different colors and sizes, so it would really be exciting to play with them. Just skip the animal-shaped balloon arts and save them for your future baby’s party.
11. Round
Simple and sophisticated – round backdrops give off that vibe of sureness and straightforwardness. It also symbolizes the union of two souls. We’re all for symbolisms and meaningful details.
12. Minimalist
There is a certain level of restraint in achieving elegance. Minimalist backdrops impress us so much, as they achieve and say so much without being so loud and grand. Just a garland of leaves, or a white curtain with sparse flowers already create the perfect space for you and your fiance to say your vows to each other.

- Carlos & Annie foreveryday – A Sunshiny Wedding in Tagaytay
- Eunica & Kyle in Sydney, Australia
- Mike & Kim Tinghun + Wedding
- Liezel & Ramil foreveryday
13. Pastels & Florals
If minimalist is not your cup of tea, then this one might be! Explosions of pinks and blues in various elements – flowers, painted walls, geometric shapes. Toss them all together in pastel dressing et viola! You have this eye candy for a wedding backdrop.
This is a fun list right? There are hundreds of weddings happening week in and week out, but it seems that there’s always something new to discover. Weddings really bring out the creative in us – as we attempt to match in details the beauty of the love that we share with our only one. To that, we say CHEERS!
