8 Creative 360 Photo booth Ideas for Your Wedding Reception

A very special day like your wedding deserves to be immortalized in every way possible. And while photographers do an awesome job at capturing your wedding glow and the smiles of your loved ones in candid moments or posed portraits, they rarely get to show the wacky or fun side of you and your guests. That’s where a customized photo booth can come in handy.

Nowadays, photo booths aren’t just stationery kiosks where guests can snap a few pictures and bring home with them beautifully designed prints—nope, photo booths have evolved into a more dynamic experience. Not only do your guests have awesome videos, GIFs, boomerangs, flipbooks, or holographic prints to remember your special event, they are also kept entertained. 

360 photo booths were made with this in mind. It gives guests a great time so that they can always look back and remember your wedding as something memorable and fun. You might be wondering what a 360-degree photo booth is and how it differs from standard photo booths. 

What Is A 360 Photo Booth?

A 360-degree photo booth is also known as a slow-motion video photo booth—and that’s exactly what it does. It has a mounted camera that circles and films its subjects in slow-motion, creating videos that are shareworthy, quirky, and super fun. Once filmed, overlays, music, and other effects can then be added to further personalize the results. 

The completed video can then be accessed instantly via QR code scanning or instant AirDrop sharing.

360 Photo Booth Ideas For Your
Wedding Reception

Much like standard photo booths, 360 photo booths can be customized to suit a certain theme. Let’s take a look at eight awesome photo booth ideas that you can incorporate into your wedding reception:

Floral Wall 
Nothing says simple yet elegant than nicely laid out blooms on a wall of greenery. You can go for the real thing by covering a plywood board with natural moss and scattered flowers. For this option, you can also lose the greenery and go for a deconstructed and minimalist vibe with blooms on bare wood. Fair warning though, this route will take a lot of effort to set up and maintain. Plus natural floral walls may just be a little more expensive than going for a faux look.

For the faux floral wall approach, you’ll only need wood and then slap on some craft-store greenery and flowers—et voila! The same lush look without the hassle.   

Glittery Backdrop
Catch the eye of your guests and give them a glamorous experience with a 360 photo booth equipped with a shining and shimmering backdrop. This ups the fun and shareability of your guest’s videos by up to a hundred compared to a basic white or ivory background.

All About Balloons
Balloons are not just for kids, they’re enjoyed by people of all ages! You can go for a balloon backdrop by just filling a wall with balloons of all shapes and sizes. Alternatively, you can also go for a more refined approach by using balloons as frames.

Neon Signs 
What’s better than a glittery backdrop? A glittery backdrop with a neon sign, of course! As for what you’ll light up, the options are endless. You can go for you and your partner’s names, a favorite line from a poem or a song, a catchphrase, an inside joke that only you and your inner circle will understand— absolutely anything under the sun!

Going Green
Perfect for outdoor weddings, a backdrop that features greenery will make the 360 photo booth blend in rather than stick out like a sore thumb. You can go for something as simple as a banner of garland across the top or make it more extravagant yet still in theme by filling up an entire wall with a variety of ferns and leaves.

String Lights
One of the most important aspects of a photo booth is the lighting. Give your guests a whimsical backdrop that will complement their glow with a backdrop of string lights. With this dramatic lighting, your guests will enjoy unique and striking videos.

Customize
The great thing about 360 photo booths or any kind of photo booth for that matter is that they are completely customizable to fit your theme.
You can create backgrounds that pay homage to you and your partner’s union. If you have a crafty friend or if you’re an artist yourself, you can even make a DIY backdrop that’s unique and truly your own. This way, the videos that your guests will create with the 360 photo booth will always remind them of your amazing wedding.

Bring Out The Props
A photo booth is never complete without some funky and eccentric props! Let your guests bring out their silly sides with creative props. You can also personalize this aspect of the photo booth by including props that are reflective of you and your partner’s personality and interests.

How about childhood favorites or destinations you’ve traveled together? Not only will your guests get to know more about you, but they’ll also come home with unique videos to remember you by.

A photo booth is a fun activity that your guests can participate in at your wedding. What a 360-degree photo booth does is take that excitement up a notch. It can easily be personalized according to what you want for your wedding and it’s the perfect way for your guests to remember your special event.
