What are some good decorations for a photo booth?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

Good photo booth decorations include props like hats, glasses and signs, plus fairy lights, greenery, and a themed frame. Keep the backdrop simple so faces stand out, and add personal touches like your initials or wedding date.

For a photo booth, focus on props and layers that add fun without overwhelming the backdrop. A basket of props is essential: think feather boas, novelty glasses, moustaches on sticks, hats, and speech bubbles with phrases like 'Just married' or 'Best day ever'. These encourage guests to play and create lively photos. For a more elegant feel, use a vintage suitcase filled with silk flowers, or a wooden crate with chalkboard signs.

Decorations around the backdrop can include a garland of greenery or flowers, either fresh or artificial, draped along the top or sides. Fairy lights or a string of warm bulbs add a soft glow, especially for evening photos. A large wooden or acrylic frame, like a circle or arch, gives guests a natural way to pose. You can also hang a personalised banner with your names and wedding date above the backdrop. Avoid too many busy patterns, as they can distract from people's faces. Keep the main backdrop plain or lightly textured, and let the props and surrounding decorations do the talking.
