Yes, we set up that backdrop. The couple was having a black-and-white wedding, and as soon as I found out, I knew we needed to find a fabric backdrop to match. I was picturing vintage style with a bold floral pattern. It turned out that the bride chose this fabric for one of her table linens, so we just rented an extra one for the photo booth. It worked out pretty perfectly. Thanks, Melissa. Yes, we set up that backdrop.

What about two coat racks? Vintage would be cute! Setting up outside or with abundant natural light will help lots. Most people do receptions in the evening, so lighting is very, very tricky for a diy photo booth situation. Hmm … What about two coat racks? Vintage would be cute!

What is the best way to hang up fabric, especially in a venue that doesn't allow stapling/taping/tacking things to their walls? Any tips on how to set up the self portrait station?

They are Japanese Biodegradable paper lanterns that float into the sky as you ignite them. A totally rad spectacle and safer alternative to sparklers (have a few scars to prove it) and good for the bride who can't afford an entire fireworks display :) skylanterns.bigfireworks.com Yes, my fave is setting off some sky lanterns with your guests.
