All purpose wall decor

Yesterday it was my birthday. Man, I had so much fun celebrating! We had a lovely family only lunch and headed to Day of Taco celebrations later on! I mean you can not skip city wide celebration and 5 peso tacos on main square just because you have a birthday. I'd even say it feels like the whole city is celebrating my birthday with cheap tacos, lucha libre, mariachis and smiles. And while it provided me with lots of opportunities to make photos and capture the moment, it wasn't all that well. Crowded place are not ideal to make photos and I actually snapped my own outfit a little bit prior the celebration on a more quite (and quant) street. I personally find it very important to snap a picture or two to capture the moment and keep it with you. While I am personally hyper happy to take photos of my taco right before I eat it (and I literally need a second to me it), my own photography and especially photography with my family is not that fast and happy experience. I think most of parents to younger kids (below 1 you mind me) agree that kids tend to be more responsive and happier to take photos in familiar and quite grounds of home. I will share with you my report on that memorable event later on next week. Today though I want to give you some inspiration (because inspiration during the weekends is the best, right?) and share some tricks on how to achieve better looking photos on your special occasions. For example for a birthday.

If you are (unlike me) celebrating it with friends and family at home, you might want to organize a spot to make a memorable photo. It can be anything and definitely can DIY it with things you already have a at hand. Plants, chair and paintings are wonderful props. Also don't forget about 'happy birthday' strings, silly hats and balloons. Everything is easily accessible and cheap at any dollar store or supermarket. And while it definitely looks cute and is budget friendly I would like to offer you a more advanced option you might want to consider investing in. I am talking about backdrops in general and shimmer walls in particular. SO handy and easy to incorporate in your decor. I do think it is a must have. It doesn't ask for much time, easy to redecorate to achieve a different look, it's expandable and easy to store. Today I want to show you more of it on the example of Iridescent Blue Shimmer Wall. I do believe it is a great option to accommodate each and every need.

This set up looks super pretty and very professional too! They added some light on the floor, neon letters to match the occasion and some balloons of matching colors. Looks fantastic right?

Same backdrop, different occasion. No artificail light (which is great for outdoors), different colors od balloons and there you have it! This fancybackdrops.com shimmer wall looks perfect for Easter! Did I convince you yet? If not check out below

Same wall different mood and purpose. Endless possibilities to utilize and create decorations for your special moments. The only limit if your own fantasy really. The most awesome part is that such a wall is very easy to store. Each part is independent so it literally doesn't ask for space to store. Yes, even if you are living in tiny rental, you can afford investment in such a decor piece, no need for a huge attic here.

Do you own a similar piece? Let me know what you think and point out what I have missed!

 

Have a nice day,
