Event Backdrops - Not Just a Square Design

Backdrops can be used in many different event designs. For an upcoming event planning article on backdrop rentals, I considered what tasks and requirements event planners have when decorating an event. We are very fortunate to know many planners that have warehouses full of unique decorations that complement events and we are amazed with how they creatively use backdrops as one aspect of the decor. Whether the venue has a stage or just an unsightly wall that hinders the ambiance of the event, planners have been using backdrops as room sets successfully.

For example, I think of Progressive Events and how they utilized just a section of the black and white abstract backdrop. Before seeing many pictures of how event planners utilize backdrops, I imagined that backdrops were used in a square space, like a stage. With sharp corners, I considered a backdrop as a very large, square frame. Progressive Events' creative use of the abstract backdrop, encouraged me to expand my scope of backdrops and design. They used a portion of the backdrop to create a circular design with white columns to shape the view of the backdrop and to satisfy a clients desire for a more unique look. This created not only a visual space, but also a practical space for attendees to sit. And though I am not surprised by the creativity trait in event planners, I am often amazed by the impact of a creative design. What unique ways have you implemented backdrops in your events? How have you utilized decor in small venues?
