Love brought to life!

When we were approached to create a photo backdrop for a fundraising event, we got to work. Using a 4x8 board with red fabric and a heart cutout, we aligned it with our partner's original vision of a "heart on fire." By incorporating our red pipe and drape kit, we added more dimension, and positioning the lights in front created a heart-beaming, immersive photo setting.

What do you think of this one? 💕

Rent the heart backdrop for:
Engagement Parties
Weddings/Receptions
Valentine's/Galentine's Day
Fundraisers & Galas
