Affordable DIY Wedding Decor: Making a Pool Noodle Floral Backdrop

Flowers can liven up weddings, adding colors, textures, and symbolism to the special day. They increase the beauty and appeal of the venue and work with any wedding theme.

You can use faux flowers, like the white silk rose bush 12 heads, for your events if you follow some easy DIY wedding decor tips. One way to create the floral decoration you want is to make a pool noodle floral backdrop, which you will learn here.

There are several reasons why you should use flowers at a wedding. For one, flowers are available in different colors, making it easier to mix and match them with other decorations, such as tablecloths, drapes, chair covers, charger plates, or table napkins.

You can choose colors that complement or contrast each other based on the wedding theme. A DIY floral backdrop will be an exciting combination of colors that will draw people’s eyes to the focal point, which usually includes the newlyweds’ table, photo booth, or dessert table.

The flowers for your DIY wedding decorations do not even need to be real. You can get the same results even if you use foam flowers or those made of silk. If you add artificial greenery and arrange every piece strategically on a pool noodle flower arch, you can have a realistic-looking floral arrangement.

Putting a faux floral arrangement on a backdrop arch

Now that you’ve decided to use a DIY wedding decor using faux flowers and a backdrop arch, here are some tips you can use:

Pick the right flowers

If you plan on using fresh flowers, pick those in season capable of withstanding various weather conditions and the demands of being in a floral arrangement.

Faux flowers are an excellent alternative to the downside of using fresh ones. You can find foam and silk flowers at CV Linens, including peonies and roses, in varied colors. It will make it easier to bring your wedding backdrop ideas to life.

Factor in the arch’s style and size

The floral arrangement should work well with the arch instead of drowning the latter. If you have a small arch, use fewer flowers. If you have a big one, like a wedding geometric arch backdrop frame stand in gold, you can have more freedom to use more flowers for a more elaborate floral arrangement.

Add floral foam

Fresh flowers need water to keep them hydrated so they will not wilt before the wedding ceremony and reception end. A floral foam helps. However, the water supply will not be a problem if you use faux flowers and greenery.

Insert greenery

Add greenery on the arc as a base for the florals and make the arrangement look more textured and realistic. Use ferns, eucalyptus, or ivy to give your floral decoration some dimensions. CV Linens offers artificial eucalyptus and Italian ruscus greenery, for example.

Put a focal point

Use large foam flowers for this, something CV Linens has, at 30 cm in size.

Secure everything

Tie the pool noodle to the arch with zip ties, floral wire, or pipe cleaners. They should be secured enough not to fall or get blown over by the wind.

Why use artificial flowers in your DIY wedding decor

Faux flowers are a great decorative addition to weddings for the following reasons:

They look realistic

You can buy silk and foam flowers at CV Linens that look almost like their real counterparts. It makes them a good option if you want to avoid dealing with the maintenance needs of fresh flowers.

They are more affordable

Artificial flowers come with a price, especially high-quality ones. However, fresh flowers are more expensive and may be at risk of wilting.

They are easy to maintain

There is no need to water faux flowers. Just insert them into floral foam, store them in a cool, dry place, and handle them with extra care to avoid ruining the delicate petals.

Artificial flowers only require careful handling to avoid tearing up the silk or foam petals.

They are long-lasting

Proper handling will allow you to use faux flowers repeatedly, depending on your subsequent events’ themes.

They are allergen-free

There is no pollen that may trigger allergies if you use artificial flowers to make your DIY wedding backdrop.

They are available all year-round

Whenever you have events that call for floral decor, you can quickly turn to your stock of artificial flowers or shop some more.

Upscaling an event with flowers does not need to be costly, high maintenance, and time-consuming when you can have a DIY wedding decor using artificial flowers.
