Hot glue gun + glue (already had the gun) ~ $10 on glue sticksĬrepe paper folds (I used 27 packages for a lot of coverage) $40Īdditional fancy crepe paper (if desired) $50 (you don’t need as much as I bought!) Wooden dowels, in the length you need to cover (we had two 5′ dowels and three 3′ dowels) – $5 We decided to go with a range of colors to give us the overall effect of our color scheme (which was supposed to be teal/turquoise + coral + sunny yellow but got boiled down to blue + pink + yellow in the crepe paper world). Please note, if you have extreme color matching needs, they will not be satisfied by the usual suppliers of cheap crepe paper. I’d seen some pretty photos floating around of ribbon streamers and I was imagining something like that, but with this fringey crepe paper instead. But we liked the idea of the color and movement that the streamer backdrop would give us. We thought about painting a sheet, just as we did the tablecloths, and I still think that would have been a great option. The backdrop would serve to make the ceremony area stand out and would also hide the french doors with their cheap vertical blinds that would otherwise be directly behind us. We knew we needed some kind of backdrop for the ceremony, because the layout of the venue had us getting married in sort of an awkward location. We’re all so excited for this tutorial this morning, aren’t we? Rachel‘s super super cute wedding really came together with her “statement” project… the streamer backdrop.
