What is a Flower Backdrop

Flower backdrops are a non-transparent backdrop made from real or artificial flower wall décor. The standard size is 8 feet long by 8 feet tall.

(3) drawbacks to using real flower walls are cost, limitations, & life span. It may cost over $1,000 in time & materials to build a wall with real flowers.

real flower walls are subject to availability based on the time of year

What if the flowers you want for your backdrop are not in season? You may have to make costly substitutions. This is one of the main reasons why clients rent a silk flower wall instead.

Faux flower wall décor is cheap & looks like the real thing! Most are either 3d or 5d flower walls meaning they have 3 – 5 layers of flowers. It is hard to tell the difference between a real and fake flower wall with this amount of depth unless you physically touch the backdrop.

Buy Flower Walls on Sale

You can buy these backdrops from a flower wall design company. You can find them available for purchase from websites like Etsy.

online walls sell priced per panel, you may need to buy 20+ panels

The drawbacks for buying a wall is the cost & time to receive it. They can take months to design & ship your order. If your wall is coming from China it can take another (2) months to arrive!

So how much does a flower wall cost to buy online? We’ve seen 24”x16” panels cost around $40 each. To create an 8′ x 8′ backdrop you would need (20) flower panels costing over $800 (before shipping).

Keep in mind it doesn’t include assembly or the flower wall stand. You need a cloth backing so your flower backdrop is not see-through. This could easily add another $600 to your flower wall cost.

Make a Champagne Wall

Most vendors only build (1) boxwood champagne wall due to limitations

We covered how floral walls are used in pictures but you can also use this as a champagne hedge wall. Why settle for a basic green boxwood champagne wall when you can make one in any flower color?

How to Build a Flower Wall

Do you want to know how to make a flower backdrop? It is simple, all you need:

• hot glue gun (with extra glue sticks)

• artificial flowers (use two or three varieties)

• cloth backing (is better than a wireframe)

The drawback is gluing thousands of flowers into an 8′ x 8′ space. You need space to lay out the design as you work to fill in gaps. This is a tedious process that can take over a week to make.

are you OCD with adjusting ornaments on a tree during holidays?

Expect the satisfaction of knowing you will spend hours… days hot gluing flowers. You attach them, and they fall off, only to re-attach them… Purposely building a random pattern is harder than it sounds.

The video above is an excellent guide on how to attach artificial flowers to a backdrop. If the flower wall isn’t hanging from the wall then use pipe & drape equipment to create a flower wall stand. Create an 8′ x 8′ flower arch frame in under 1 min using (2) base plates, (2) drape uprights, & (1) drape crossbar.

Renting drapery equipment for your flower backdrop frame gives you the ability to connect multiple stands. This allows you to make a much larger flower wall (for example 16′ long x 8′ tall).

make flower walls in 8′ long x 2′ wide sections so it’s not one giant heavy wall hanging from a crossbar

What are the drawbacks to building an 8′ x 8′ flower wall as one continuous section? It’s huge & hard to transport. This backdrop would be the size of a fridge. You may need (2) people to set it up every time because of the weight.

Hang a Neon Sign on Flower Wall

A neon sign on a greenery wall is an excellent way to personalize your wedding reception. There are a variety of fun & unique signs available for rental. They are cheap and look luxurious. DIY Tip: hang it from fishing hire on your flower wall backdrop!

Neon signs give you the ability to brand flower backdrops with logos & names. It will be the focal point of every selfie photo from guests!

use (1) color with flower walls so your neon sign isn’t lost in clutter

The main reason why most couples use a hedge wall for neon signs is for contrast. Green hedges are dark so the neon glows bright making it more noticeable compared to floral.

Also, flowers tend to have more detail & color. Pattern, texture, & color can distract your eyes making it hard to read the logo or name.

Easily hang a neon sign with fishing wire rated for 50 lbs. Hang a sign from your flower wall with fishing wire to the crossbar or over the top & connect it to the back of your floral wall.
