7 Eye-Catching Backdrops For Your MW Studio!

When it comes to designing our MW Studio for your big day, the options are nearly limitless! The Merrimon-Wynne House has seen so many unique styles in our spaces and we love seeing all that our couples do to make our photo booth a unique and memorable experience for them and their guests! To help you sort through all the photo booth ideas out there, we’ve gathered our favorite backdrops below to inspire you as you plan!

What better way to get people’s attention than colorful balloons?! Balloon walls are such a fun addition to the space that will have your guest remembering your special day forever! This eye-catching backdrop will make everyone want to put their drink down, grab some photo booth props, and take a quick break from the dance floor to capture a picture!

Wondering where the perfect spot is for our rattan chandeliers on your wedding day? Well, a new favorite of ours is right in front of our MW Studio! Whether they’re hanging over one of our lounge sets or standing alone in our pergola space, we guarantee that your guest will want to capture memories with our photo booth under these unique lights!

There are so many spaces throughout our venue that make a perfect backdrop for your MW Studio - these blue doors being one of our favorite! It’s the perfect spot for friends and family to gather after grabbing a drink from the bar during cocktail hour! Whether you want to keep it simple or add some florals to the space, you cannot go wrong with setting up our MW studio here!

Trying to find another way to incorporate your ceremony arbor into the rest of your evening?  Our MW Studio makes for the perfect spot! By using an arch as your photo booth backdrop, it’ll fit perfectly around the boarder of your photo strips and allow guest to capture the most beautiful photos to take home at the end of the night!

Why keep our MW Studio in one space if you don’t have to?! If you’re looking to move our MW Studio throughout your wedding day, a standing backdrop, this one for example, is for you! This minimalist terracotta backdrop can easily be moved so that you can capture as many memories as possible with your guest!6

Whether you’re going for an organic wedding style or just looking for something a little more timeless, greenery makes for an elegant looking backdrop and is another one of our favorites! Our pergola walls make it easy for you or your florist to create a beautiful design on the morning of your wedding day and we love seeing all the ways our couples incorporate this space into their backdrops!   

And our last but certainly not least backdrop - MW Studio’s hot pink LED heart! This one will stop your guest right in their tracks when they round the corner for your reception! Our couples have the opportunity to capture memories in front of this neon sign with our MW Studio Luxe Package and this is just one of the many additional features it comes with! Incorporating this statement decor piece into your reception will have everyone gathering at the photo booth in between songs to capture fun photos!

WHAT. A. NIGHT! In partnership with Band Together and La Fête Planning & Design our annual fundraising event, An Evening to Ignite, was a night to remember! Hundreds of individuals came together in support of our 2024 charity partner, Neighbor To Neighbor , a local non-profit dedicated to reversing the debilitating effects poverty has on the most vulnerable families in Raleigh. They believe in providing long-term, one-on-one mentoring relationships for teens resulting in positive generational leaps in education, employment and personal development. What started as an idea and a dream in 2017 to bring together community members and events industry vendors to make a large-scale impact for one local, grassroots nonprofit has become a reality and grown into an annual event that raises over $150,000 each year! With the amazing support of our sponsors, vendors and local community, we are so proud to announce that we raised $201,933.32 for Neighbor To Neighbor ! Every single dollar that was raised will help bring to life Neighbor to Neighbor’s dream of a state-of-the-art teen tech center that will create more training pathways, mentorships, and employment opportunities for youth in our community. We cannot wait to see this space realized! The success of this event is due in large part to the generosity of our vendor community and their contributions of time, effort, staffing, materials, inventory, and talents. Over 40 local event industry vendors came together to donate over $250,000+ of goods and services to ensure 100% of the proceeds raised during the event went directly to Neighbor to Neighbor. Year after year, our vendor friends continuously raise the bar by outdoing themselves and helping make Evening to Ignite bigger and better than the year before. We are eternally grateful to be in such a collaborative and talented industry!
