A photo zone is a small area specially designated for holiday photography. For a wedding, it is organized indoors or outdoors. The first option is suitable in the cold season, and the second will be relevant in the warm months and for. You can read about off-site registration in this article.

This place is decorated with all kinds of attributes and accessories (plates, backgrounds, frames, balls, flowers). With its help, you can entertain guests and take original pictures of the newlyweds. It also underlines the high status of the event. A photo zone is especially necessary for a European-style wedding.

Where to organize an area for a photo shoot at a wedding

We offer two main options.

Outdoor decoration

The idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bdesigning a photo zone for a wedding in nature

If the wedding takes place near a beautiful garden, park or forest, you can arrange everything there. This is a great idea for summer when it's warm outside. In this case, the photo zone should be located under shady trees that shelter guests and young people from the heat. Between them, you can pull the flags in the shape of a heart with the names of the bride and groom.

If you plan to arrange such a zone in spring or autumn, you need to take care of awnings. They will come in handy in case of rain.

Picturesque shots can be made on the shore of the reservoir. If it is sandy, paths should be spread over it. This will prevent sand getting into the shoes of visitors to the photo shoot.

In autumn or at other times of the year, it will be enough to set aside a 5x6 m area for a photo zone in nature. The best option for its placement is near the candy bar. So the newlyweds and guests, tired of the photo session, will be able to quickly regain their strength. They will immediately have the opportunity to take vivid pictures while waiting for their sweet treat. So that they can navigate in space, you need to take care of installing special pointers for them.

How to arrange in a restaurant

In a cafe or restaurant, the best option would be to organize a photo zone closer to the wall. It can be used as a background. Thanks to this, it will turn out save on the purchase of special boards.

This option is not suitable if there will be more than 30-50 guests at the wedding. Thus, they, constantly moving around the hall, will not allow to properly capture the young. Carefully it should be chosen in the warm season - the room can be stuffy. In this case, the sweating bride and groom will not turn out very beautifully in the pictures.

It is also very important to place the attributes for the photo zone away from the entrance doors and windows. This will allow the photographer not to photograph bystanders and avoid bright glare in photographs. To avoid the latter, you must also monitor the lighting design of the hall. The light should not be too bright or too dim.

This is what a candy bar might look like

What decor is needed to create a photo zone

Creating a photo zone is a real flight of imagination. To do this, you can use the following materials:

1. Photo frame. For an indoor area, you can simply invite guests to hold this props in their hands. If the celebration takes place outdoors, it will be beautiful to fix the frames on the trees. More on how to become, smile and sit down is collected in another article. It tells about various

When decorating a zone with them, you can experiment and use paper honeycomb balls, stars and pompons as decorations. They will be beautifully placed in vases or attached to the ceiling.
3. Fence. It is ideal for creating a photo zone for off-site registration. It can be used to separate it from the banquet venue. Fresh flowers and speech clouds are suitable for decorating the fence. In the fall, you can use dahlias and peonies. The fence itself can be made of cardboard or wood.
4. Ribbon decorations. They can be used like this: fix a horizontal bar at a height of 2 meters and glue beautiful multi-colored ribbons to it. It would be logical to use trees as a basis. This option is only suitable for nature.
5. Helium balloons. Using this extraordinary decoration, you can create fountains from balls. Then guests can take photos in which they seem to be drowning in them. Do not use too bright balls for decoration. So those invited and newlyweds in smart clothes will simply get lost against their background.

6. Natural flowers. They can cover the entire space of the photo zone or decorate selective elements. These can be walls, swings, benches, tables. It is best if the flowers match the theme of the wedding, match the color of the bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere.
7. Thematic banner. This accessory looks beautiful both indoors and outdoors. You can decorate such a banner with the first letters in the names of the bride and groom to emphasize the spirit of the wedding.
8. Slate. To create it, you can use a metal or wooden base. It needs to be shaped into a rectangle measuring 2x2.5 m. The main condition is that it must be taller than the bride and groom. Such a background will be beautifully painted black. On it you should write in chalk: the names of the newlyweds, declarations of love, wishes of guests and draw hearts.

Ideas for a wedding photo zone

There are several interesting options for decorating a photo zone at a wedding.

Here is an interesting photo zone with a simple design.

In nautical style

In order for the zone to match the main idea of ​​the event as much as possible, it is worth preparing:

• ropes;
• painted or toy seagulls with fish;
• large steering wheel;
• dummies of boats;
• seashells;
• sail;
• binoculars;
• captain's caps.

The entire photo zone should be made in marine colors - blue and white. If the celebration takes place in a marine theme, it is more logical to use an anchor or a pirate chest filled to the brim with treasures to decorate the fish.

Eco-style

For such a photo zone, you will need the following decorative elements:

• Natural flowers;
• hay;
• trees;
• straw;
• wicker baskets;
• clay products (cups, saucers, vases);
• wooden furniture;
• pots with ornamental plants.

The most popular is a wedding photo zone with a swing, which can be fixed on a tree. It will be beautiful to scatter rose petals and leaves on the ground. We suggest covering the wall (background) with natural fabric, linen or silk. Fresh flowers should be hung to it. Nearby you can put a bicycle and a column with a sign of the names of the newlyweds. This photo zone should take shape in nature.

Red and white

Here is a photo zone with flags, a sign, a table and a background.

As a base, you can use a red banner or shield with the names of the bride and groom. It can be completely covered with rose and tulip petals. It will be nice to place candles on the tables and white wooden frames next to it.

A snow-white armchair, which should be placed on the left side of the banner, will help to complement the overall picture. An openwork arch can be located on the right. This option is especially suitable for brides who decide to buy. You can read how to choose it in another article on the site. In this article, we have collected useful tips on what to look for, which model is right for whom, and much more.

Thematic

If the celebration is in Russian folk style, you can decorate the area with hay, spinning wheels and birch bark products. At a pirate wedding, guests can be invited to take a picture against the background of pirate treasures, and as an additional attribute, give each of them a black eye patch.

Autumn

The autumn photo zone in the fall is successfully complemented by such thematic accessories as:

• warm tweed blankets;
• a small wicker basket with apples;
• stylish umbrellas;
• antique bicycles;
• yellowed leaves scattered underfoot.

An area for photographing in the fall would be appropriate to organize in a garden or park. As a background, you can use two or three old doors with shabby paint. They must be arranged so that they are, as it were, ajar. You can hang old paintings on them, and put a wicker table with two rocking chairs next to it. It will be appropriate to put a stack of books on them. At a distance of 1-2 meters from the wall, it is worth placing retro bicycles.

How much will it cost to create a do-it-yourself photo zone

And this is a beautiful flower photo zone

Minimum cost will be only a few hundred rubles. Maximum the same can reach up to 10,000-20,000 rubles. This will happen if you need to purchase large decorative items. This can be a chair, arches, pirate chests, furniture, haystacks.

You can save money on decorations made of paper, wood and cardboard - flags, artificial colors, dummies of furniture items, backgrounds. All this can be done by yourself.

Here are the approximate prices in rubles for some of the necessary attributes:

• set of clouds (7 pcs.) - 220;
• plates - 150;
• stars on sticks - 50;
• comic points - 100;
• props - 160;
• letters - 100;
• garland - 120;
• latex balloons (100 pcs.) - 530.

When using fabric to decorate the background, do not economize. It is better to immediately purchase beautiful textiles, and a meter of atlas will cost about 500-700 rubles. So, on average, it may take about 1,500 rubles to decorate an entire photo zone.

Here is a video showing a ready-made photo zone in nature. Pay attention to the original attributes, umbrellas and props!

Creative inspiration to you!

Many people are tired of everyday photos at the table, near the Christmas tree, or just wherever it is. Photo zones come to replace - dedicated places for photographing. This beautifully designed space will make your photos brighter and more beautiful. Moreover, you can make such a photo zone with your own hands, even at home. Of course, you will have to make every effort to create a beautiful photo zone, stock up on time and spend a certain amount of money, but the result will be worth it.

One of the most beautiful and delicate designs is considered to be a photo zone made of voluminous paper flowers. This is also an inexpensive option, since office paper can be used. If you want to get lush buds, then you can use corrugated paper. It remains only to decide on the color and style of our zone. This usually depends on the event being held. For a children's party, brighter colors are chosen, for a wedding - gentle and pastel colors, for an anniversary or birthday - at will.

Types of photo zones

Photo zones made of paper can be of many different types. In order to determine the most acceptable option, check out some of the design options.

1. Press ox or banner. This is a type of zone when a canvas with a pattern, image or just a colored background is pulled onto a structure of pipes or wooden beams. Then this stand is decorated with paper flowers, ribbons or other decor.

   
   

2. In order not to bother with the background, many designers recommend attaching flowers to the entire area of ​​the banner. If done with a gradient transition, then the decoration will turn out to be stylish and beautiful. But solid color photo zones look impressive too.

   

   
   

3. Half-and-half. This means that in the design you can use both paper flowers and some kind of fabric. Choose ones that are easy to drape. The advantage of such a photo zone is that it looks softer, more airy and more romantic. This design is perfect for a wedding celebration.

   
   

4. Growth flowers. Large, voluminous flowers in full human growth will appeal to your guests and help to imagine themselves as small children in a large magical garden. If you will make such flowers yourself, try to give them volume, it will be more realistic, and the photos will be more creative. Special attention should be paid to the stems so that they can withstand the weight of the paper bud. The decoration looks very beautiful if the shades of the colors are in harmony with each other.

   
   

5. Paper flowers as an accessory to the guests' hands. Any thing in a person's hand allows him to relax and look more relaxed in the photo. It is not necessary to make growth flowers, a few small flowers or a small bouquet will be enough.
6. Photozone in the form of a screen. This design option is ideal because it is easy to assemble, disassemble and transport. In the unfolded state, the screen can stand independently without stops and creates 3D volume.

   

Choice of shades

When planning the decoration in a floral version and choosing the necessary shade of colors, focus on the planned event and the material from which you will make flowers. Crepe paper is difficult to paint, but its advantage is that it easily takes the desired shape, and you can also find a wide variety of shades on sale.

White paper is universal, but then each leaf must be painted separately. It is quite time consuming work, but the result is worth it. If possible and at will, the petals can be dyed even in gold and silver.

Growth flowers from foamiran

Large voluminous flowers will become a reality of the fairy tale "Alice Through the Looking Glass", and your guests will feel like little children. Such flowers can be made from foamiran, a special material for needlework, which, under the influence of an iron, perfectly changes its shape and retains it after cooling. The advantage of this material is precisely its ability to keep its shape well and not be afraid of moisture. They make beautiful flowers that look like real ones. Detailed MK and color templates can be found on the Internet.

The background for such a zone can be a wall, a banner of any color or fabric. If your decor contains such growth flowers, then very few people pay attention to the background, the main thing is that it should be.

Isolon flowers

Another type of material that allows you to make large, beautiful flowers that keep their shape well. The petals are soft and pleasant to the touch. Place the composition symmetrically on the sides, and place a chair or stool in the center so that the subjects can sit comfortably. Perhaps you will find some kind of props in the hands of the invitees so that they can relax in front of the camera.

The advantage of such a composition is that it will look fresh and bright throughout the holiday and will not fade after a while. Moreover, it can be used for the next holiday.

Photo zone in gold color

Such a photo zone stands out for its luxury and wealth due to the use of foil elements. But the flowers do not have to be made gold, as it will look too pretentious. The rich yellow color will be an excellent solution for the wall of the golden photo zone. Be sure to combine several shades and preferably a tone lighter or a few tones darker.

Photo zone in blue

The thematic photo zone is focused on blue, so it should be installed at those events where blue is combined or is a common style.

Photo zone in red

A bright and juicy red color symbolizes love, therefore it can be set for Valentine's Day or for a wedding. Guests' dresses will be clearly visible against the red background. If you do not want to mount only red flowers on the wall, you can dilute them with pink ones or make a gradient. The latter option is good because by decorating the bottom with white flowers, then pink and finally red, you can get a completely unique wall for photographing.

Photo zone of fresh flowers

The delicacy of the flower is preserved thanks to the special impregnation of the base, where the stem is inserted. These photo zones look very luxurious, but they cost a lot. Most often, an arch is made of natural flowers, under which newlyweds or guests can take pictures.

Corrugated paper photo zone

Corrugated paper will help make the flowers look lusher and more attractive. A large banner made entirely of corrugated flowers will become a favorite spot for all guests. Small bouquets for the guests will make the evening more pleasant and unforgettable.

The video shows 2 parts of the MK for a corrugated paper photo zone.

Photozone is a fairly new phenomenon in the field of wedding decor. However, those who have tried to use it in business will tell you that they would never return to standard wedding photos, when random photos of guests on the dance floor or at tables turn out to be boring, ugly, blurry.

What you need to consider before making a photo zone for a wedding?

Dimensions. It's not that simple here. The minimum photo zone should not be less than 2x2 meters in order to look beautiful. However, the size of the room where the wedding will take place does not always allow it to be placed comfortably. This is important to consider.

Attributes. To make the wedding photo session truly original, fun and cheer up, use a variety of attributes: mustaches, glasses, hats, suits, flashlights, objects, stickers, balloons, umbrellas, message boards, masks, comic signs and much more. However, make sure that the fun does not turn into bad taste and the attributes do not go beyond the wedding style.

Season. Photo zones decorated according to the season will look most successful. In winter, these are dry branches, snow and snowflakes, dry plants and cones, candles and lanterns, garlands, red apples. In spring, pay attention to flower arrangements, butterflies, birds, pussy willow branches, fresh and delicate colors, lightness. Summer is a time of bright and rich colors, and against the backdrop of greenery of nature, playing up the landscape will look good, for example, a photo zone in the form of a decorated tree or a swing on a tree, hanging ribbons, flower curtains or a curtain made of small lamps, translucent fabrics fluttering in the wind, etc. .d. In autumn, the decor will look better in brown-gold, burgundy tones and their variants, you can add a samovar, gifts of nature in the form of grapes, apples, pumpkins, autumn flowers.

Ideas for decorating a photo zone for a wedding with a photo

Presswall or banner

A universal, fast and fairly economical solution. You can implement anything on the printed canvas, indicate the names of all guests, the date of the wedding, a landscape, a collage or fragments of a love story, and much more. In addition, the press wall is lightweight and mobile, there is no need to specially install anything and figure out where to put the decorations later. Frames for such banner stands can be rented, which will cost significantly less.

Photo frames "Polaroid"

An original solution that does not require extra costs. They can be made to order, or you can make yourself by signing the names and date of the event.

Slate

A universal attribute on which you can embody a variety of ideas, from drawings to inscriptions. Monochromatic background, chalk inscriptions, drawings perfectly emphasize the outfits of the couple and guests, because the board is black or dark brown.

Flower wall

This is an expensive solution if you want to decorate it with fresh flowers and moss. But no less impressive is the background of paper flowers, and the larger they are, the more fabulous the photos from the wedding will look. You can make such flowers with your own hands!

Floral curtains

These are flower heads strung on a thread or decorative rope. They very gently emphasize the image of the bride and, like a flower wall, will look most advantageous against the background of wildlife, which will complement the atmosphere.

Ribbons and flags

Long ribbons to the floor, with which a frame, wall, stand or tree branches can be hung, looks very delicate and unusual, especially if it develops in the wind. Combine different textures, fringes, colors, you can add garlands, flowers, in general, do not limit your imagination.

Openwork screens

You are unlikely to be able to make them with your own hands. But it's easy to rent or buy ready-made ones. A screen for a wedding can be not only a decoration for a photo zone, but also a decoration for a banquet hall, for example, behind the backs of newlyweds.

Frames

Antique and modern, large and small, different shapes of frames can be beaten by hanging them, placing them on the floor or on furniture, combining them with flowers, mirrors and other decorations for a wedding.

Wall that mimics the interior of the living room

Such a stand will become an excellent background for the first joint photos of a new young family, their relatives and friends.

Antique furniture

It can be placed against the background of a decorative wall or just outdoors. Most often, this technique is used when decorating photo zones for vintage-style weddings. Old and antique furniture will look no less successful in a wedding photo in a classic and royal style.

Paper decor

Paper of all kinds of colors and textures allows you to create light and romantic decorations. These can be paper flowers, cranes, turntables, pom-poms, garlands, confetti curtains and much more.

Wood

Natural materials look simple and sophisticated, gentle and rude at the same time, emphasize the ease of the environment and make photos more lively and stylish. It can be just a tree in the garden or in the yard, decorated with wedding decor, it can be wooden arches (carved and from untreated trunks and branches), a wall made of wooden pallets, wooden boxes, round wood cuts, fences and fences, just planks, a wooden wall houses, as well as empty wooden window frames and even halves of old doors!

Fences braided with flowers

They are suitable for floral decorations and for classic and eco-style weddings. Looks good against the background of wildlife, in greenery.

All kinds of lamps

Large and small lamps, in a simple or decorative shade or without it at all, stands with lamps, garlands or whole curtains of lights look very touching and romantic, give the photographs tenderness, some kind of additional intimacy, intimacy and warmth, romance. Usually used for a photo at the end of the holiday, when it was already dark. And in nature, on trees or in the form of glowing arches, they look just fabulous!

For the wedding, the halls decided to make a photo zone of large flowers! I took over this work, then my relatives joined in))) the photos were lost somewhere in the process.

Different techniques were used, almost all flowers are made differently.

The frame was welded from iron rods, the base was sandwich sheets (as for the slopes on the windows), we bought 2 sheets of 3 * 1.5 meters. Cut off, and the final size came out 3 * 2 meters. How much paper was bought already can not be counted))) but about 1 roll of crepe paper went to 1 middle flower. The last row in each flower was made of corrugated paper. (It's already been in the apartment for a year - the flowers are in the same condition, they haven't sagged)

The basis for flowers - papier-mâché from a balloon (the Internet is full of microns)

In advance, holes were made from papier mache in each hemisphere and a rope was threaded, then the petals were glued into it (they sometimes forgot to do this point and then they had to fix the finished flower somehow))

And at the end, when all the flowers were done, they laid out on the floor how everything should look, and photographed. Then they fixed the sandwich to the frame, and fastened the flowers according to the photo, or almost according to the photo)) making holes in the sandwich and inserting the same strings on the flowers. Tied a knot at the back - and you're done! If someone is interested in the photos in the process, I can try to search, write))

A special place in the wedding decor is occupied by a photo zone. Photo zones decorated with paper flowers, in whole or in part, are a special, new word in the design of wedding photo zones in Brest.

5. Finally paper flowers for photo shoot can be added to the hands of guests - then the whole image will become harmonious and holistic.

Choice of colors

The choice of color with such a decor depends on what material the photo zone is made of.

It is difficult to color paper flowers made of crepe or with silence, you will have to choose from ready-made options, but I will please, the color palette is very wide.

But paper flowers made of white paper are painted separately, by hand, each flower in its own way. Therefore, the choice of colors is wider here, you can take into account any wishes of the customer, today we can paint flowers in any range, even in gold and silver colors.
