The backdrop does more work than most people realize. It sets the colour of every photo, ties the booth into your décor, and decides whether your pictures look like a party or a magazine spread. We carry a wide range of backdrops so you can match your palette. Here’s how to choose.
Start with your palette
Look at your invitation, your linens or your brand guide and pick one colour to echo. Your backdrop doesn’t have to match everything, but it should feel like it belongs in the room.
Warm metallics
(gold, champagne, rose gold) flatter every skin tone and photograph warmly under evening light.
Cool metallics
(silver, iridescent silver, iridescent blue) feel modern and crisp, and are great for winter and corporate events.
Bold colour
(hot pink, fuchsia, red, purple, turquoise) brings energy to birthdays, sangeets and dance parties.
Soft neutrals
(white, off-white, matte white, beige, light peach) keep the focus on faces and outfits, which suits weddings and showers.
Our backdrop styles
Shimmer walls
Shimmer walls are made of hundreds of small reflective panels that catch the light and move slightly as people pass, so they sparkle in every shot. Colours include gold, rose gold, silver, iridescent silver, iridescent blue, black, red, pink, hot pink, purple and turquoise blue.
Best for: galas, milestone birthdays, New Year’s parties, brand events.
Sequin backdrops
Sequin backdrops are a softer, fabric-style sparkle with a rich texture. Colours include gold, champagne, silver, black, white, matte white, red, pink, fuchsia, sparkly fuchsia, purple, lavender, blue, baby blue, green and iridescent aqua.
Best for: weddings, sweet 16s, holiday parties.
Floral walls with lights
Floral walls with lights are lush, romantic walls lit with warm fairy lights. Colours include white, off-white, beige, light peach, dark peach, hot pink, red, purple, green and baby blue.
Best for: weddings, engagements, bridal and baby showers, Eid and Diwali celebrations.
Greenery
Our artificial green hedge wall is fresh and natural and suits almost any theme. It pairs beautifully with the Wooden Mirror Photo Booth.
Best for: garden parties, rustic weddings, corporate events with a natural brand.
Balloon backdrops
Choose a shimmer wall with a balloon garland, or a pink or peach backdrop with balloons and lights. They’re playful and full of colour, and easy to coordinate with party décor.
Best for: birthdays, baby showers, gender reveals, kids’ parties.
Black with lights
A black backdrop with lights is moody and elegant, and lets the subjects and outfits pop.
Best for: evening galas, 30th-to-50th birthday parties, award nights.
Custom and branded backdrops
For a corporate event, a step & repeat printed with your logo turns every photo into brand content. Ask us about other custom options when you request your quote.

Backdrop questions
Is a backdrop included with my booth?
Every booking includes a backdrop of your choice. Some premium backdrops may be quoted as an upgrade, and your quote will show exactly what’s included.
Can I see the backdrop in person before my event?
We’re happy to send photos and videos of any backdrop so you can see it before your event.
How much space does a backdrop take?
Plan the backdrop into the booth’s space: about 8 x 10 ft covers most of our booths, the backdrop and room for guests to pose. The 360 Video Booth needs about 10 x 10 ft for the small platform, or ideally 15 x 15 ft for the large one. We’ll confirm the exact layout with you or your venue.
