DIY Photobooth Ideas for Outdoor Weddings

It can be quite a challenge to set up a photo booth especially if the wedding reception is held outdoors, such as in a garden, ranch or beach. Still, I see it as a great opportunity to be even more creative and unique! Check out these examples of photo booth backdrop / setup, which are mostly DIY. They're practical and one-of-a-kind. 

1. Tie a burlap or an off-white canvas cloth between trees or stands, and don't forget to hang mini flags for some character. To make it unique, you can also try hang polaroids of you and your fiance!


2. Hang ribbons to for your backdrop. They will look like drapes. For texture, make sure you cut the ribbons in different lengths and hang beads or strings. Of course, use colored ribbons that match the theme of your wedding.


3. This will need a little bit more effort to pull of. You will need a couch, a small table, some pillows and cloths. Throw in some books, a camera, old chest or any items that match your wedding theme. This one is my favorite!


4. It's the cutest one, to hang a frame that looks like a polaroid frame. Very easy to pull off!

Ryan + Janeth

A beautiful yet simple and solemn church wedding made Ryan and Janeth's wedding very inspiring for me and for many other brides out there. The church was a good choice--it was right beside the Marikina River with open air terraces, allowing natural light to brighten the venue. The photographers must have had a great time capturing moments! My favorite part? The boarding pass-themed wedding invitations!

Church: San Antonio De Padua, Calumpang, Marikina City (Philippines)
Reception: CVJ Clubhouse
Catering: CVJ Catering
Photobooth: Playwithme Photobooth

Crafty Wedding Favors: Soap, CD or Playing Cards

I think it's every couple's challenge to think of what to give their guests as wedding favors. If you are one of those crafty brides who want to give guests something that looks eco-friendly. Try out these items. A soap bar with crafty decors printed with words and quotes. Or give them away a CD with your favorite songs. It would also be fun to give away playing cards. Of course, packaging here is the key--make sure you pack the favors in a way that it blends well with your entire wedding theme. Here are some inspirations:
