wedding inspiration: boho wedding reception details including a number of diy ideas | Creative Bag

When planning a wedding or party it is often the tiny details that end up being the most remembered part of the day. In this last post about our boho inspired wedding, we are going to share what we consider the most memorable details from our inspirational styled shoot.

1. Make them smile.

This stunning stand alone 8'x8' handmade paper flower backdrop created by Confetti and Bows just makes you want to smile. 

A single chair, a hand lettered sign and a few photo props set off to one side of the floral backdrop invite guests to hang out and snap a few photos. The hand lettering on the mirror and the sweet Posecards were by Love Lettering. A couple of flasks and mini paper flowers make fun photo props as well.

2. Best favours ever.

If you have the time, what could be more personal than creating or wrapping your wedding favours yourself? 

You can find the DIY tutorial for these mini mason jar favours in this post

Simple (and inexpensive) white gift boxes look amazing when you place real, silk or paper flowers on top. Keep the flowers in place using satin ribbon. Alicia's Infinity designed the custom sticker to match her wedding stationery.

3. Family matters.

We added personal touches to the gift table by displaying "something old (photo of the groom's grandparents), something new (acrylic wishing well), something borrowed (vintage cake topper from bride's grandparents) and something blue (ribbon tied around the photo)". The acrylic wishing well was personalized by Doris from Love Lettering with a hand lettered message and floral design.

4. Add a little gold. 

The white hobnail vases were given a modern boho "dipped in gold" effect by masking off the bottom of each vase with torn edge painters tape before spraying on the gold metallic paint. Periwinkle Flowers was inspired by the watercolour flowers, succulents and foliage in the wedding invitations. 

Gold was added to the "best day ever" cake topper on the wedding cake. You can find the DIY tutorial for how to add the gold in this post.

We placed gold and white paper lanterns, watermelon round paper lanterns, balloons, and tissue & mylar tassels around the venue to highlight the different stations at the reception.

Photo booth supplies for weddings and parties!

photo booth supplies from Creative Bag | creativebagwedding.com

Photo booths are still a popular choice for weddings and parties. They are a wonderful idea to keep guests of all ages entertained. All you really need is a backdrop and a few fun props. If you are thinking of adding one to an event that you are planning we have lots of photo booth supplies that will help you to get the party started! Here's some of my favourites ....

I recently created some props for a photo booth using our wood chalkboards on sticks. I wanted the chalkboards to match the gold and black colour theme of the party so I painted the chalkboards (pictured above) with metallic gold paint. 


2. Tissue paper tassel garland backdrop.

Tissue paper tassel garlands make an cool diy backdrop. I love this one that I spotted at the WedLux Wedding Show in January. If you are thinking about creating one of these, we carry tissue paper in lots of different colours. You can find my tutorial for making tissue paper tassel garlands here.

3. Custom photo booth backdrops.

Here's a quick look at the design options:

Tip: Mount the backdrops to a wall surface using "removable" poster tape or suspend from a wood dowel or light weight curtain rod.

Create your own photo booth with our personalized photo booth backdrops

Wednesday, 17 April 2013


Photo booths are a fun idea for weddings, graduations, birthday parties or any special event. It's a great way to entertain your guests and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money to create one yourself. All you need to do is set up an area that will serve as a backdrop and provide a few props to allow people to "dress up" if they want to. 
We have a variety of different personalized photo booth backdrops available to order on line at Creative Bag Wedding. Every design option comes in a variety of different colours. The backdrops are very durable and measure 4' wide by 10' long.
Here's some tips on how to create your own photo booth:

1. Find an area that is suitable for a photo shoot. You want to have enough space for group shots and so that people can hang out and watch the fun. 

2. Set up up a small table or group of large baskets/container to organize "props" that guests can use if they want to "dress up" a bit. This is a perfect way to tie in a theme if you have one. 

3. Large empty picture frames and chalkboards also make excellent props. Remember to leave a container of chalk and a chalkboard eraser so that guests can write their own messages on the chalkboards. 

3. Don't want to hire a professional photographer for the photo booth? Ask a family member or friend that is handy with a camera if they would be interested in helping you out by taking photos for an hour or so. Or invite guests to take their own pictures using disposable cameras that are left on each table. 

4. Most guests will have cell phones with a camera and I guarantee that the photo booth area will be a busy area. You may want to leave a sign near the photo booth asking your guests to email you their pictures. You can load the photos onto a photo sharing website and share them with everyone after the event.
