Hanging Tiles

Fab Fans
A fan backdrop is a fun alternative to the traditional wedding backdrop. It adds flair and playfulness to your wedding venue and is an idea that not many people choose to execute which makes it unique.

This popping backdrop will make for gorgeous photos that you and your kids and your kid’s kids will look back on for generation.
Paper Circles
