Getting Creative With Photo Booth Props (Maya & Sean’s Wedding Recap)

We’re so happy to say that props are back! Props are a great way to get creative with your photo booth rental at a wedding or corporate event. Guests love holding signs, wearing hats, or accessorizing with boas. 

For any guests who may feel a little stiff in the booth, a prop is amazing for loosening them up so they can let their hair down! Plus, you can also customize your props to match your event and make your booth rental even more memorable.

Maya and Sean’s guests had a blast with props at their wedding at Two Wishes Ranch in Lockhart, Texas! The couple went with a classic black-and-white photo booth and guests of all ages joined in on the fun.

The couple had the perfect Texas fall wedding; we’re obsessed with the flower arch at the altar! The cocktail hour was complete with a gorgeous crostini bar and a drink donkey. We love when couples include fun interactive elements in their wedding.

Inside the beautiful reception hall at Two Wishes Ranch, the couples served assorted desserts instead of a traditional wedding cake. Couples that swat from tradition for something unique are my favorite!

The wedding was planned by XO Moreau, an Austin-based creative that we love working with! The Teagues Photo was the amazing photography team - scroll down to see the gorgeous photos!

How to Incorporate Your Dog Into Your Wedding (With or Without Them There)

For most couples getting married today, their pets are like their children, and it doesn’t feel right to celebrate the big day without them involved. Some couples want their four-legged friends physically involved in the wedding, like walking down the aisle with their dog, while others want to include them without them actually being there.

There are so many creative ways that you incorporate your dog into your wedding with or without them there. Keep reading for our best tips!

Doggy Ring Bearer

If you want your dog to be super involved (and maybe even steal the show), you can make them the honorary ring bearer at your ceremony. There are so many adorable dog tux options that will have your guests swooning. Some couples even wrap their leases in greenery or pearls to match the wedding decor.

Once they reach the end of the aisle they can either exit out the side or sit with a family member. For this idea to work flawlessly, you need a dog who’s well-behaved and isn’t afraid of crowds. 

Maybe don’t line your aisle with flowers that they’ll get distracted sniffing or peeing on! It’s also best to have an outdoor ceremony in case they need to make a quick exit to do their business or they start barking and interrupt the ceremony.

If you’re going to bring your pup to your wedding, we recommend appointing a doggy babysitter for the day so that you don’t have to watch over them yourselves. After the ceremony, let the babysitter take them home so they can rest after their big performance!

Plan a Family Photo Shoot

Another fun way to include your pup on the big day is to pose with them during your couple portraits. Trust us, these are the photos that you’ll frame and look at forever because they captured your full little family on the best day ever.

Again, we recommend taking the photos outdoors and having a babysitter nearby. If your pup gets tired, misbehaves, or has to do their business, the babysitter can escort them out of the photo shoot so that you and your partner can keep snapping photos and stay on schedule. 

This option is great if you want to have your pup with you on the big day but they aren’t huge fans of crowds so walking down the aisle is a no-go. Plus, they can hang out in the bridal suite and pop into getting ready photos too!

Create Custom Photo Booth Templates With Your Dog’s Photo

Think your dog would rather stay home on the big day? You can still honor them by incorporating their photo into your wedding details. For example, we love creating custom photo booth templates for our couples, and sometimes they ask to use a photo of their pet. 

These templates are adorable, personal, and memorable. Your guests have a great time snapping photos in the photo booth and then get to take a piece of your family home with them to remember the wedding by.

At Oh Happy Day Booth, our luxury photo booths come with endless customization options. From the template to the backdrop, you can rent the photo booth of your dreams for your wedding.

Incorporate Your Dog’s Picture in Other Areas of Your Wedding

Why stop at the photo booth template? Here are other areas you could incorporate your dog’s picture into your wedding:

• On the cocktail napkins

• On the party favors

• On matchboxes

• In a slideshow

• On table number cards

• On custom wooden drink stirrers

• On the bar menu

• Framed on tables

The options are endless! You can find great customizable products on Etsy, and all you have to do is give the creator a photo of your pup.

Have a Dog-Themed Cake

We love grooms’ cakes in Texas! Since the bride’s cake is usually formal and pretty, the groom’s cake is a great way to show off your personality or something that’s special to you as a couple. 

You can find a local baker who can create a gorgeous cake in the shape of your dog, or you can include their name somewhere on the cake. Some couples opt for a cake shaped like their bone or collar. You could also go for a standard round or rectangular cake with your dog’s photo printed on it or created with icing.

If a dog cake isn’t your thing, you can still incorporate your furry friend by ordering a cake topper that looks like your dog. Some bakers will even create a mini version of your dog and have it poke out from the bottom tier of the wedding cake.

Print Photo Booth Props of Their Face

Just because they aren’t there physically doesn’t mean that they aren’t there in spirit! One fun idea is to print paper cutouts of your dog to use as props in the photo booth. A paper version is a lot less work than actually having your dog there on the wedding day, but they’re still included in the festivities!

Guests love photo booth props because it gives them an opportunity to let loose and get goofy. What’s more perfect for that than a huge photo of your dog’s face?

All of these ideas for ways to incorporate your dog into your wedding without them actually being there are also great ways to honor pets that have passed.

Incorporate Your Dog Into Your Wedding With Oh Happy Day Booth

Whether your dog goes to your wedding or you include them with photos, they are an important part of your new little family. It’s fun to pull them into the celebration and honor what they mean to you and your partner. And hey, it’s really cute!

Ready to incorporate your dog into your wedding photo booth? At Oh Happy Day Booth, the customization options are endless. Contact us to start dreaming up your photo booth for your Austin-area wedding today!

Top Spring Wedding Color Ideas in 2023

The new year is right around the corner, so it’s time to think about spring weddings! We love springtime weddings because the color options are so fun. 

In the last few years, we’ve seen a massive shift in wedding style when it comes to color. Gone are the days of minimalist and muted wedding aesthetics. Bold and bright is in! 

For spring weddings, that means you get to have fun with your decor, springtime blooms, stationery, and whatever else you want to add a splash of color to at your wedding. Keep reading for our top spring wedding color ideas in 2023.

Lavender

Purple has been having a major moment lately, and in the spring of 2023, lavender will be all the rage. Here are a few fun ways to use this color:

• Add real lavender sprigs to your bouquet, floral arrangements, and boutonnieres

• Dress your bridesmaids in hues of pastel purple

• Wear an amazing pair of lavender heels

• Use lavender toss bags for your getaway

• Cover your cake in gorgeous purple flowers

Whether or not you actually incorporate real lavender flowers, there are tons of ways to use lavender in your color scheme. And since lavender is also a hot flavor right now, you can use it in your catering to really amp up the theme! Everyone loves lavender lemonade, lemon-lavender pastries, or a great lavender cocktail.

Bright Pink, Dusty Rose, and Blush

Orange might be competing with pink, but that doesn’t mean that pink is going anywhere! There are more popular pink shades than ever. In fact, in the last year, we’ve seen some gorgeous all-pink weddings!

Pink hues can up the romance and whimsy at your wedding. There are tons of ways to pull in more pink, from your flowers to your decor. Getting married around Valentine’s Day? Mixing pink and red has been a huge trend lately too, so why not go all out?

If you love softer pink shades, hues like dusty rose and blush are also here to stay in 2023. They’ll be a top choice for brides who want to ditch all white and go for an unconventional wedding dress. Delicate pink colors are also perfect for spring because they’re gorgeous with sage green and other seasonal shades!

Bright Orange

Despite what Elle Woods thinks, orange might actually be the new pink. Seriously, this color has had an amazing rise in popularity. Everyone loves deep orange hues for fall weddings, but brighter oranges will also make a huge splash in spring weddings next year!

Bright orange is so cheerful, and it fits in perfectly with the wedding trends we’ve seen lately. From disco balls to feathers to neon signs, the trends are all about turning your wedding into a party that no one will forget. Bold color choices are part of that, which is where bright orange comes in!

If a bright burst of color isn’t your thing, coral, rust orange, and gold will also be popular options that are in the same family. Another fun way to add more orange to your wedding is to use vintage amber glasses in your table settings.

Dusty Blue

Move over, navy! Dusty blue is the new favorite blue shade for weddings. While blue isn’t traditionally a spring color, it will pop up in tons of springtime weddings this year. From bridesmaid dresses to table linens, dusty blue is a gorgeous pop of color that still feels delicate.

Dusty blue is also a versatile color that blends well into so many pallets. It works well with silver, darker blues, green, pink, and cream.

Bright Yellow

Just like bright orange, bright yellow has had a huge resurgence in wedding trends lately. In fact, mixing orange and yellow is on trend too! 

However, we’re not talking about the pale canary yellow shade that was popular a few years ago. This time around, couples are going bolder with sunflower yellow. If you’re going for a rustic look, go warmer with honey yellow. For a minimalist look, daffodil yellow is a paler option that still invokes the springtime vibe.

Customize Your Wedding Photo Booth for Spring

Are you planning on having a photo booth at your wedding? We might be biased, but we think they’re a must-have! Photo booths offer a fun activity for your guests to do at your reception, and they get to go home with a custom keepsake from the big day.

There are tons of ways to customize your photo booth to match the spring trends in 2023. Here are a few ideas that work with Oh Happy Day photo booths:

• Choose a photo booth backdrop that matches your spring colors, like lavender, pink watercolor, or rose gold

• Dress up your backdrop with bright streamers or balloons

• Add a custom neon sign to your backdrop

• Go with the flower wall or boxwood wall to bring in more spring elements - you can even add more flowers to the boxwood wall!

• Instead of a backdrop, request a custom streamer wall and use bold colors

One of the best things about throwing a springtime wedding is the endless color options, and you can pull them into your photo booth too! From streamers to blooms, you can create a custom photo booth backdrop that brings your springtime dreams to life.

Classy Black and White Photo Booth for Shannon and Will's Wedding in Austin, TX

Is there anything more classic than a black-and-white photo? When Shannon and Will said they wanted a black and white glam photo booth for their gorgeous wedding, we were so game. 

As their photos prove, going classic doesn’t mean you have to be boring! The guests had an absolute blast in our photo booth at this wedding, and it shows. 

Here’s why we love photo booths at weddings:

• It’s an activity that all ages love to participate in

• Your guests get to take home a personal souvenir from your big day

• It’s a GREAT way for guests or the bridal party to get in time with the bride and groom that feels special, but it doesn’t overwhelm the couple

• With the professional photos taken care of, photos in the booth can be more relaxed and playful

• The couple can take a moment to themselves to snap photos in the booth

We’re in love with Shannon and Will’s elegant wedding. From the plush purple velvet chairs to the rocking live band, they added so many details that made it even more memorable! 

Huge shout out to Wedding Day Girl for killer day-of coordination. Whether you plan your wedding by yourself or use an event planning team, we always recommend a day of coordinator to help things go off without a hitch!

Gold Shimmer Photo Booth for Erin and Alan’s Springdale Station Wedding Reception in Austin, Texas

Can a wedding have too much greenery? We think the answer is no, and we’re so glad that Erin and Alan agree. Their beautiful Springdale Station wedding was dripping in greenery, from the heart-shaped alter to the hanging greenery and rose chandeliers. It was breathtaking!

Lovelily Flowers killed it with the amazing florals for this wedding! Check out the gorgeous wreaths that the bridesmaids held as they walked down the aisle. They are such a unique touch, and we love that they reused them as decor for the reception.

We added to the night with our gold shimmer photo booth, which perfectly matched the couple’s color scheme. The photo booth was a great place for guests to escape when they needed a break from the dance floor but still wanted to have fun. Plus, the booth gives the bride and groom a moment alone together during the business of the day.

You can even spot the booth shimmering in the background of some of the dancing photos. We’ve said it all along: our luxury backdrops make your event look better! 

From the amazing photos from Nikk Nguyen Photo, you can tell that Erin and Alan’s guests had a great time. They danced the night away, played cornhole, and enjoyed some delicious gin and tonics.

Best wishes to the bride and groom! Looking for a custom photo booth for your next Austin area event? Let’s chat!

Roaming Photography For Rachel and Garrison’s Wedding at Horseshoe Bay Resort Near Austin, Texas

Did you know that we offer roaming photography? That’s right, we can take our photo booth on the move! 

With roaming photography, one of our attendants captures photos of your guests throughout your event. Instead of your guests going to the photo booth, the photo booth goes to them. After our attendant snaps a photo, your guests can instantly email it from the tablet to their phones and post it to social media! 

Roaming photography is great for corporate events to increase guest engagement and brand visibility. However, Rachel and Garrison’s big day at Horseshoe Bay Resort near Austin, Texas shows how well it works for weddings too!

At weddings, we’ve found that guests love the ease of roaming photography, and they’re always excited to smile for a photo. Plus, you get amazing photos that show off your venue and your guests enjoying your wedding. 

We love how candid roaming photography feels at weddings! It reminds us of when couples used to leave disposable cameras on tables so that guests could capture the wedding from their eyes. Seeing your wedding from your guest's perspective adds a really fresh element to event photography. Plus, you can see the photos instantly and relive the whole experience!

Rachel and Garrison’s wedding was perfect for roaming photography because the venue already offered a gorgeous backdrop for photos. We’re obsessed with all the floral details, like the hanging greenery and initial wreath. 

Congrats to the happy couple! Want to book roaming photography for your next event? Contact us today.

Luxurious Black Photo Booth for Meredith and Zach’s Wedding at the Historic Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas

Meredith and Zach became Mr. and Mrs. Rehmert on August 14, 2021, at the historic Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas! We love historic venues because they add so much character and charm to wedding receptions. 

When it came time to choose their photo booth options, our black sequin backdrop was a no-brainer to match the upscale and classy setting at the Driskill. It’s the perfect backdrop for a black-tie affair!

Meredith and Zach’s wedding had so many jaw-dropping elements. From the romantic three-tier cake to the absolutely stunning floral arrangements, it was breathtaking. The bouquets and one-of-a-kind floral arrangements were courtesy of Bouquets of Austin, who always create impactful masterpieces.

The bride and groom put together the sweetest personalized gifts to welcome their guests to Austin. We love when the couple goes the extra mile to take care of their people! The gifts were complete with personalized Driskill Hotel cozies, custom cookies, and of course, bottles of Topo Chico and Tito’s. Nothing says welcome to the capital of Texas better than that.

Jenny DeMarco, an Austin photographer we love to work with, captured all of the details of the wedding beautifully. Take a look below and be prepared for your jaw to drop!

Congratulations to the happy couple - it was an honor to be part of your wedding! Looking for a luxury photo booth for your upcoming event? Contact us today so we can chat!

Jaron and Amber’s Timeless and Intimate Wedding at Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas

We love an elegant affair, and that’s exactly how Jaron and Amber’s wedding at Prospect House in Dripping Springs, Texas felt. From the champagne flute seating chart to the natural wood tableware, this wedding had a timelessness that never goes out of style.

With long light-wood tables decorated with naturalistic elements like greenery and neutral chiffon runners, the reception felt like an intimate family dinner. The family style pizza dinner by Fire and Slice added a cozy touch, and you can tell from the gorgeous photos by Nikk Nguyen that Jaron and Amber’s guests were immediately at ease and having fun. 

For the photo booth, the couple opted to skip a backdrop and use the clean white shiplap wall instead. We personally love this choice because all of the photos match the aesthetic of the reception venue perfectly. 

Offering flexible and customizable options is one of the things we do best at Oh Happy Day Booth. If your venue already has a great spot for a photo booth without a backdrop, we say go for it! We think it was the perfect choice for Jaron and Amber’s timeless wedding.

However, just because a wedding is timeless and elegant doesn’t mean it’s not a party. Thanks to DJ Byrne Rock, the happy couple and their guests ruled the dance floor for hours.

We wish Jaron and Amber all the best! To customize a perfect photo booth for your wedding, party, or corporate event, get in touch today!
