Most places don't let you tape objects to the walls or make holes in them. By building your own stand on which you fasten the flower boards, you can circumvent this."How Do I Create My Own Wedding Backdrop?" is a question that wedding planner students frequently ask me.

1. USING A PVC PIPE STAND

The flowers can be wired or hot-glued to the pipe itself.

Because they both have loops or a stitched pocket that you can sheer onto the pipe, fabric, sheets, or cheap curtains work well for covering the pipe. Accent displays and floral arrangements on the corners or across the top look great with this.

A fabric flower wall requires canvas or Calico, both of which are offered by the meter at Spotlight or a fabric store.

If the flowers have a wire hanger on the back, you can pin them to the cloth or apply them directly with hot glue.

You can affix them to foam core boards, suspend them from PVC pipe, and cover the pipe itself with tulle, lace, or fabric.

2. BUILDING A PVC PIPE STAND

I've included two do-it-yourself stands that are simple to assemble; all the materials cost around $40 at your neighborhood hardware store. To view precise measurements and schematics, click on the images below. On Flowersarch, however, you can find them already cut and assembled if you're not the constructing kind. The PVC pipe is available at your local Bunnings store; ask them to cut each length of pipe to the precise size you require.

Note: 3′ refers to 3 feet- meaning 91cm.  ( One foot = 30.5 cm)

3. PVC Pipe Supplies List

The measurements can be changed to fit your needs. However, the measurements for the aforementioned example use plumbing PVC piping. Therefore, visit your local hardware store's plumbing department, such as Bunnings.

• 6 x PVC pipe cut to 90cm lengths
• 6 x PVC pipe cut to 30cm  lengths
• 4 x PVC pipe cut to 120cm lengths
• 6 x Female Tee connectors
• 6 x PVC caps ( to put on the end of the legs to cover the exposed PVC end.)
• 2 x Female Elbow connector
• 1 x equal cross connector

4. BUILDING A PLYWOOD CHALKBOARD BACKDROP

Constructing a plywood wall requires a little more expertise and power tools! Apply two to three coats of chalkboard paint to the plywood surface rather than covering it with turf. Use sandbags or weights on the back to support the weight of the flowers.

5. BUILDING WITH POLYSTYRENE SHEETS

A backdrop made of polystyrene is much easier to construct and weighs significantly less. All of the materials and construction instructions are available here.How a Backdrop Is Made Once the board is put together, you can paint it. Sandbags and *weights are essential because polystyrene is significantly lighter than plywood.

Polystyrene sheets are available from foam providers, and they will cut them to your desired size. Simply search for "foam suppliers" in your city on Google.)

6. Attaching The Flowers To Your Backdrop

You can connect your flowers to your backdrop in a few different ways. The following video demonstrates how to use wire to secure paper flowers to a foam board. Next, use Zip Ties to secure the foam board to your backdrop.
