The best holiday photo booth backdrops match the room first and the theme second: a winter wonderland mural for a bright office, deep velvet for a restaurant, sequin for a ballroom, your brand for a client event. Here are eight holiday backdrop ideas and how to choose between them, all from our photo booth backdrop collection.
Eight holiday photo booth backdrop ideas
1. Winter wonderland
A snowy mountain or pine forest mural turns any room into a ski lodge. It photographs bright and cheerful, suits office parties and family events, and pairs well with an après-ski dress code.
2. Emerald or burgundy velvet
Draped velvet in deep green or wine reads as the holidays without a single ornament. It flatters every skin tone and looks rich in restaurant and hotel light.
3. Gold or silver sequin
Sequin walls catch the booth's studio light and sparkle in every frame. Gold leans classic Christmas; silver leans winter white and carries straight into a New Year's Eve party. See our New Year's Eve photo booth ideas for that night.
4. Winter white
Soft white drapes and white florals give a clean, modern look that suits brand-conscious teams and daytime parties.
5. Classic red
Red velvet or a red seamless backdrop is the fastest route to a festive photo, and it works in black and white as well as color.
6. Your brand, front and center
For a client party or a company celebration, a branded backdrop puts your logo in every photo. Pair it with a custom print design and a branded booth screen, and every image doubles as content. Our holiday party photo booths are built around this.
7. Cozy cabin or candlelight
Warm wood, greenery and candle glow suit an evening dinner party or a family gathering where the mood is relaxed.
8. Florals for a holiday wedding or gala
White roses and greenery against a neutral drape bridge a December wedding and a holiday look. Planning a winter wedding? Start at wedding photo booth rental.
How to choose a holiday backdrop
| Your room | Backdrops that fit |
|---|---|
| Bright office or creative campus | Winter wonderland, winter white, your brand |
| Restaurant or private dining room | Emerald or burgundy velvet, cozy candlelight |
| Hotel ballroom | Gold or silver sequin, florals, your brand |
| Home or backyard party | Winter wonderland, classic red, cozy cabin |
- Match the light. Shimmer and sequin shine in dim rooms; murals and white suit daylight.
- Think about the crowd. The open-air frame fits up to ten people, so a wide backdrop keeps whole teams in the photo.
- Coordinate with the print. The backdrop, the screen and the print share one palette, and you approve the design before the party.
Keepsakes that match the backdrop
Holiday guests love to take something home. A print in the party's colors goes on the fridge; a photo keychain goes on the keys.
