Why choose our styled backdrops?

A styled backdrop is the heart of the room: the spot behind the cake, the first thing guests see and the background to every photo. We build it around a personalised arch or round panel with your names and message, then style it with a balloon garland, florals and props to match your theme.

From an all-white cloud display for a christening to an elegant gold and ivory 60th, every backdrop is designed with you. Add light-up numbers or letters, a cake plinth or a neon sign to complete the look.

Styled backdrops FAQs

Tell us your colour scheme and we’ll design your backdrop around it, from classic white and ivory to pastels and bold colours.

How much space does a styled backdrop need?

Most need a few metres of wall or floor space, plus room in front for photos. Tell us your venue and room and we’ll make sure it fits.

Can I add light-up numbers or letters?

Yes, and they’re one of the most popular additions. See our milestone birthday sets for ideas.
