Modern Ceremony Backdrops We're Actually Obsessed With

This couple exchanged vows in front of a 12-foot wall of marble that served as the ceremony backdrop. To help soften the overall look, they added soft, mocha-colored draping, planter boxes filled with lush wildflowers on both sides, as well as chandeliers of greenery hanging overhead. Transparent ghost chairs were the perfect seating choice to complement the modern ceremony setting.

If you're not the wedding-arch type, then check out this couple's incredibly unique backdrop: a modern, circular structure adorned with greenery and white blossoms. Your guests will be dazzled by it the moment they set foot in your ceremony space.

The groom, who works as a set designer, fashioned this amazing wooden sunburst to complement the couple's midcentury-modern wedding venue—the Hotel Lautner, located near Palm Springs.

If you're tying the knot in a modern space like a loft, keep your ceremony backdrop simple to complement the airy setting. This couple used gauzy chiffon to soften up the wall behind them; they also hung a few different-sized wreaths as decoration (keep the greenery on the sparse side for a more modern look).

A stunning desert landscape like this one needs very little extra adornment. A simple, geometric structure is a modern way to create a focal point in the ceremony space without detracting from the natural scenery.

This simple-yet-striking ceremony backdrop would make an easy DIY project. Simply hang several strands of string lights vertically to create a glowing wall behind the space where you and your groom will exchange vows; then, add Mylar balloons spelling out a word of your choice to frame the space (make sure each balloon has a small weight attached to the string).
