How To Set Up a DIY Wedding Backdrop

STEP 1:  SET UP STANDS

Open the frame of the backdrop stands so the tripod function is stable. Lock in place.

STEP 2:  ATTACH CROSSBAR

Once both tripod stands are set up, attach the included crossbar to each stand to make the frame.

STEP 3:  ADD DRAPES

From there, add the drapes and scrunch it along the crossbar until it is evenly distributed between the stands.

STEP 4:  RAISE STANDS

Next, raise the stands to your desired height. It's best if you have two people to do this at the same time!

STEP 5:  ADD FINISHES

Finally, drag your fabric drapes along the length of your backdrop to make sure it's evenly spread. Add extra finishes like garlands or other decor to suit your style!

Setting up these simple backdrops can help transform your event space with placement in a few key areas like behind your cake table, behind the sweetheart table, or even at your wedding altar during your ceremony.
