With a few simple steps, you can add a natural and beautiful element to your event that will be sure to impress your guests.
Where to Buy or Rent Grass Wall Backdrop
Since grass wall backdrops are a very common staple when decorating for events, they are pretty easy to find if they are not already being rented by someone else. Renting from your favorite event design company is probably going to be your ideal choice. Why is that you say? Well, you don't have to worry about equipment, you can trust the stability of your wall, and you save time by not having to assemble or break down the grass wall when the party is over. All you have to do is make an appointment with your event design company, set up your date and time of delivery, and wait. You can use Google to find event decor rentals in your area and schedule it for the date you need.
How Many Panels Do You Need for Your Grass Wall?
If you have decided to purchase your own grass wall to create a backdrop, then hooray, you're hired! You can purchase artificial boxwood grass wall panels from my favorite spot, Amazon.com. Now I must warn you to pay close attention to the dimensions of the squares and make sure that you measure your desired area for where you want to set up your wall correctly. For most event design companies grass walls are rented in sizes of 7x7 sq. ft, 8x8 sq.ft., and 10x10 sq. ft. You will need to purchase several boxes of artificial boxwood panels to create a large grass wall. One box of 12- 20x20 boxwood grass wall panels will create a 5ft x7 ft grass wall. I good rule of thumb is to buy 2 boxes of 12 pieces of boxwood grass wall panels if you are wanting to create a 10ft x 10ft or larger grass wall backdrop. If you are not into measuring or just want to plan a beautiful party without having to look for a place to store your wall after your event is over, you can easily rent a grass wall backdrop from an event design company.

How To Build A Grass Wall Backdrop

Step 1: Measure the area you want to cover with the wall.
Step 2: Gather supplies: grass wall panels, zip ties, and a photography backdrop stand.
Step 3: Layout grass wall panels and use zip ties to combine them together until you have built a large enough square to cover your backdrop area.
Step 4: Use scissors to cut the grass mats to fit the measurements. (ex: if you are making a circle backdrop grass wall).
Step 5: Attach a large boxwood grass wall to the top pole of the photography backdrop stand with zip ties.
Step 6: Secure the top pole on the end poles of the photography backdrop stand.
Step 7: Trim any excess grass and edges to the side poles. That's it; enjoy your new grass wall backdrop! Here's a video for my visual learners.
You can also use velcro or other adhesive tapes if you would like to attach your grass wall panels to create an actual wall. This is a more permanent approach suitable for offices, backdrops for videos, or selfie walls.
You can also purchase artificial turf to create a grass wall. This is purchased in rolls similar to carpet. You will follow the same steps to measure the length and width of your desired wall. Then will also need to build a frame with wood to adhere to the artificial turf. This is a more in-depth way of creating a wall. You will need to know how to measure and cut wood to build a frame. Good luck with this project. I am not that mechanical. Here is a link to where you can watch how a simple frame is made.
