Have group pictures that you want to capture? Select one of our 20′ x 10′ backdrops. Easy as that. Want something different than what you see in our inventory? Let us know and we’ll paint it! It’s that simple. (AND we’ll rent it to you).

4. Renting a backdrop is as easy as 1-2-3.

We’ll help you choose a backdrop, ship you the backdrop with ample time before your event, and include a return shipping label for you to easily send it back to us! It really couldn’t be easier. We’ll provide hanging instructions and will recommend pipe and base companies! In Southern California, we even provide installations!

5. Once you backdrop, you’ll never go back.

You have NO idea how many customers we have that tell us once they’ve used a backdrop, they’ve never found an excuse not to use a backdrop! No mater where your event is located, showcasing a backdrop can instantly change the mood, theme, and atmosphere of your occasion.

We’re excited to showcase our new backdrops for the month of March! Our in-house designers and talented artists have been busy creating beautiful backdrops to add to our rental inventory. Check out these amazing additions below!

New Backdrops - Pop Art 1 Ducks

This Pop Art Duck backdrop is a prime example of our Custom Rental service. Catering by Design from Denver, CO wanted to a fun backdrop to enhance their duck-themed menu. We discussed their vision for the event, complete with rubber duckies and vibrant signs to replace standard menus. Our designers created this image and Catering by Design absolutely loved it. The pop art theme worked perfectly with the colorful ducks. This backdrop enhanced their event and is now in our inventory ready to be rented for your next occasion!

New Backdrops - Military Ship1

Our Military Ship backdrop demonstrates the dynamic, larger than life presence of the military in the open ocean. The deep blue sea is depicted with mountainous islands in the background and a prominent military ship in the center. The ripples of the waves from the ship are lining the vessel as it speeds ahead. Ideal for a military event, show, or production.

New Backdrops - Diamond 2 Color

Shine bright like this diamond backdrop! This hand-painted backdrop is fifty feet wide! That’s a whole lot of diamond. The perspective in which this backdrop is painted makes the diamond appear through the galaxies far, far away. The distant stars in the night are complemented by an array of rainbow colors. This vibrant, shiny backdrop is perfect for your next bling-loving client or event!

Garden Party Backdrop TSE 2016

#TSE2016 was one for the books! The Special Event Show is ALWAYS one of our favorites & this year was no different! The Exhibit Hall was so vibrant, the events so exciting, and the people were so passionate about the events industry! We had such an amazing time connecting with other exhibitors, discussing new design trends in the events industry, and meeting fantastic people!

Garden Party TSE 2016 Backdrop

We were so excited to showcase our Garden Party backdrop at our booth! No matter what the event is, Alice in Wonderland is always a good idea. This backdrop makes it effortless to bring the theme to life. It makes us want to throw an Alice-inspired tea party in an enchanted forest. The stacked teapots, decadent desserts, and unique collection of chairs all add to the scenic charm. The vibrant colors of this backdrop are sure to brighten your day and your event.

Our lovely partners helped enhance our booth to the next level! Our pipe & drape was provided by Quest Drape, our furniture (I mean, look at that loveseat!) was provided by AFR, and our realistic turf was provided by American Turf & Carpet. Thank you all for helping to make our booth outstanding! We are so grateful to have such well respected and esteemed partners in this industry.

Umbrellas Backdrop TSE 2016

We couldn’t just bring one backdrop to #TSE2016! As a premier sponsor, we provided the backdrop for the TSE Live Performance Stage. We featured our newly painted Umbrellas backdrop. It is full of colorful umbrellas in a perfectly cloudy sky. It’s such a perfect scene to liven up any venue. The contrast between the different colors of the umbrellas and the beautiful blue sky creates a perfect scenic background.

Twilight Forest Backdrop TSE 2016_Closing Night Party

As we all know, the parties are one of the highlights of the Special Events Show! We were honored to feature our Twilight forest backdrop behind the amazing entertainment at the Closing Night Party! It is truly remarkable how the perception of the backdrop can change with adjusting the color and intensity of the front lighting!

This way, you can see what our designers and artists have been up to all month!

Garden 2 Panel - New BackdropOur Garden Backdrop with a Gazebo and Fountain is one of our favorite new backdrops! This new backdrop is full of vibrancy, contrast, and a beautiful garden scene. The light emanates  from the fountain on the left, overflowing with streaming water. The floral-lined walkway is perfect for a long stroll in the park.

Havana Streets 1 - New BackdropThis Cuban inspired Havana Streets backdrop is the ideal, vivid background that will instantly transform your event. The vibrant color of each building creates a distinct, but collaborative look as the buildings seamlessly go into the next. The cobblestone ground adds texture to the bottom of the backdrop, which complements the tables and chairs on the sidewalk.

Mystic Forest 5 - New Backdrop

Our new Mystic Forest Backdrop is an exciting addition to our ever-growing forest series. The light peering into the backdrop adds a warmth and brightness to this backdrop. The small details, including the delicate bridge, the colorful mushrooms, and the unique flowers, create a depth the backdrop that separates it from the rest.

Newly Painted Backdrops – December!

December 11th, 2015

How is it already December? Our artists have been working hard to create new hand-painted backdrops and they have outdone themselves. These backdrops are seriously creative, amazingly vibrant, and definitively unique.

Bridge 2 backdrop

This Brooklyn bridge inspired backdrop speaks volumes about the vibrancy of the city and it’s unique architectural structures. Our interpretation of the Brooklyn Bridge was inspired by our trip to New York for a trade show. This angled take on the bridge has the viewer tangled in the web of the infamous cords of the Brooklyn Bridge. The sunset behind the bridge sets the scene for a vibrant and exciting night ahead. If this isn’t one of your favorite bridges in New York City, it should be. Take a walk across from Manhattan to Brooklyn and eat at one of the most famous pizza joints New York has to offer. It will change your perspective on New York City, this beautiful bridge, and what the city has to offer. We love creating new backdrops that represent the heartbeat of major cities.

whale1 - 40x20 i copy

What’s not to love about a whale and it’s loving offspring? Our whale backdrop is the definition of a realistic depiction of a whale and it’s calf spending time together. Nothing jerks at my heart more than seeing these two together. It amazes me that it looks like a picture, but it’s actually a painted backdrop! Our artists are seriously talented. As the light shines from the top of the ocean, it glimmers down onto the whales. A beautiful blue depiction of a serene moment between two majestic marine mammals.

courtyard 2 backdrop

Our Courtyard 2 Backdrop was designed as a part of our unique custom rental process! That means our client shared with us their exact vision, wants, and needs and we painted this beautiful backdrop as a result! We rented this out to our esteemed customer and now we have it in our inventory! We couldn’t be more excited about it. Read below to learn a little bit more about our custom rental service!

Our custom rental option is a unique service whereby we create new or existing designs in a variety of sizes. This is not only an excellent alternative to purchasing a custom or in-stock backdrop, but also enables you to make that ‘one-of-a-kind impression’ at an affordable rate without the need to compromise. Our designers and artists will work directly with you to produce the backdrop of your dreams!

mystic sky 4 backdrop

Our Mystic Sky 4 Backdrop details a magical night sky with a bright star as the focal point. The mountainous scenery among the star-filled night creates a majestic feeling. This backdrop can effortlessly transform any space into an ethereal affair. We’re so excited to see what new backdrops next month will bring!

Dance is your Art, Backdrops is ours!

September 2nd, 2015

Dance 17 Urban Backdrop!

We had such a great time over the last few months traveling all over the states for one of our favorite industries: DANCE! We met so many ambitious, creative, and amiable dance teachers and studio owners during our travels. Our first stop along the Dance wave was Dance Teacher Summit in Long Beach, CA. What a fun vibe to be around so many people that are passionate about dance and are eager to learn about the next best thing in the industry.

Our next stop was DanceLife Teacher Conference in Scottsdale, AZ where we escaped the heat and enjoyed the conference and expo by talking to new and familiar faces in the industry. It was wonderful getting a chance to bond with fellow vendors and those excited about learning how to make their recitals the most memorable ones yet.

Dance Teacher Web Conference & Expo!

We then travelled to Dance Teacher Web Live Conference at the beautiful Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, CT. Surrounded by a beautiful, lush forest – this resort is one of a kind. We featured our Dance Radio backdrop, which has become one of our more popular dance themed backdrops. We loved meeting with so many dance teachers and studio owners from the East Coast. Our favorite discussions were hearing all of the different recital theme ideas and were so inspired by all of the professionals that dare to be different! We’re always welcoming new suggestions and ideas on new backdrops that we can paint to better accommodate all of the trendsetters in the dance industry.

We can’t wait to see you all at the UDMA Shows in Atlanta, New Jersey, and Chicago! Let us know if you’ll be there and be sure to stop by our booth to say hi and receive our latest specials! I have a feeling that we will be offering something special in our raffle and we would love for the winner to be you!

Bring an element of fantasy to your affair by showcasing this newly hand-painted backdrop or any of our other fantasy backdrops!

Museum 2B backdrop

Our Museum 2b backdrop feels as if you have just stepped into a world renowned museum. It is complete with intricate bronze statues, hand-painted portraits along the wall, and a glimpse into the past with skeletal artifacts in the room on the left. This backdrop features great depth perception as the hallway appears long and inviting. The skylight in the middle of the hall illuminates the statue and brings the attention to the marble floor.

Train 5 Winter backdrop

Our Train 5 Winter backdrop is one of our newest additions as we are preparing for winter recitals and events. This is the ultimate winter backdrop, accentuating the fast pace of the train amid a snowy day. The beaming lights of the train showcase the essence of witnessing light within the darkness. This backdrop is perfect for any winter occasion. It will definitely change the atmosphere of your affair immediately.

Backdrops at the LOVE Benefit!

June 19th, 2015

0380Love_Benefit

We had the honor of being involved in the Love Benefit on June 2nd at the Morgan Run Resort and Club in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. It’s always a pleasure for us to give back to the community, especially when it affects someone so near and dear to the Backdrops Beautiful family. We were among 150 companies that came together to show our love and support for Aaron Feldman, CEO and Founder of True Photography. Aaron is a true visionary and has made a strong impact on our industry and our community, which was evident by the attendance and support at this amazing event.

0426Love_Benefit

We had such an incredible night being apart of this event, full of libations, delectable cuisine, a silent auction, opportunity drawings, games and live entertainment. It was so special for us to witness our Beatles 7 backdrop as a main element to the night’s festivities and it was so wonderful to see so many people that care so much about Aaron. 

0366Love_Benefit

Everything really came full circle for us as our Director of Sales and Marketing, Jonathan Goldstone, used True Photography to document one of the most important days in his life – his wedding. We jumped at the chance to be apart of this event as we viewed it as an opportunity to truly thank and give back to Aaron and his company for all that they did in capturing Jonathan’s wedding. It is incredible how connected all of us are and using our community as a place to give back is essential in facilitating a loving and supportive network.

All proceeds from the event went towards Aaron Feldman’s recovery and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Follow his journey at http://howibeatmycancer.com/. Thank you Aaron for letting us be apart of this meaningful event and thank you to True Photography for these gorgeous photos.

Disney Cars Birthday Party

April 29th, 2014

CDR Collage

It’s true what all my friends that are parents say, kids definitely grow up lightning fast! My son recently turned one and I have no clue how this happened!  My friends and family gathered to celebrate my son Christian’s birthday in a small hall in Southern California earlier in the month.  We decided on Disney Cars for his birthday theme because of his liking for Lightning McQueen.  And yes, just like his daddy he’s already a Disney fan!

I am a proud new dad and I decided to share my sons event.  I made sure there was no detail left out; from the personalized water bottles, hand made goody bags, custom cake to all the labels for the food and beverages.  Aside from all the little details I also incorporated 2 backdrops to make everything cohesive, but also fun and exciting for all the kids.

IMG_9079I learned that it’s a lot of hard work and time consuming putting a themed party together.  And I now understand why some parents rather take their children on a vacation or have it at Chuck E. Cheese’s.  Regardless of all the stress, I personally would do it all over again next year!  My son is worth it!
