Instead of having a guest book at our reception, we will have a photo booth where guests can leave a photo instead of a note. Well, actually, ours isn’t a photo booth…it’s a fauxtobooth! Our guests will pose in front of a DIY-ed backdrop, rather than inside an actual booth.
There is a great deal of beautiful fauxtobooth inspiration on wedding blogs. Some involve cute props made out of felt or paper:
Some involve beautiful vintage frames:
Some are unique to the wedding’s theme:
Ours will be what I like to call “thrift store chic.” Mama Lioness is a master thrift shopper and has been collecting funky fauxtobooth props for over a year now. After we threw in a few of our own contributions, here’s our collection thus far:
A light up magic wand
Lots of fabulous hats
Florida Gators stuff!
A fancy fan
An old, distressed shawl
Two Marie Antoinette wigs
All kinds of awesome eye gear
UCF Knights gear
And finally, a faux-gold Cadillac chain. Be jealous.
Remember that old mailbox that I found? If not, here it is with our last two props.
The rest of our props just so happen to fit perfectly inside the mailbox.
And here’s the painted front of the mailbox! Prop set-up complete!
Bee tee dubs, this is what my wedding guest room looks like right now:
Gasp!
Are you doing a fauxtobooth? What are you doing for your props?
Your mailbox has inspired me to hunt down one for our cardbox too! We are having a “real” photobooth and I can’t wait to go lots of garage sales to look for perfect props! I already have an inflatable heart on clearance from valentine’s day and I’ll be making mustaches and lips on sticks too. Your props are great!
Love all your props! I especially love the Marie Antoinette wigs, sunglass collection, and the Mickey and Minnie bride and groom ears.
AHHHH! Love the Up mailbox with the bride and groom ears! Are those the top hat groom ears? How did you get your hands on those - they’re so hard to find!
Awesome. I have to look for my own props. The company I’m using says they have props but I’m not sure if they will be that fab after seeing yours 
“And finally, a faux-gold Cadillac chain. Be jealous.”
I really can’t even express to you how amazing this is. Obsessed.
Ooh, I’ve been thinking of getting the Ikea Ung Drill frame (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00091967) for a while. Now you’ve convinced me–I’ll buy it for the photo booth, then after the wedding we’ll put a mirror in it and hang it up.
We’re doing a photobooth but not sold on props yet. This shall take some digging to find good ones.
I’m SO digging the mailbox!!! The mouse ears are high on the cuteness scale. And y’all are Gator fans, too??? (Sometimes I think Mr. Crown’s man-cave threw up orange and blue…)
You just gave me fabulous inspiration!!! My brother and I are both gator fans. But sadly, I live in Tennessee.
However, I think it would be great to have some gator gear in the fauxto booth!!!
Thanks!
Your props look like so much fun! I’d plunk a Marie Antoinette wig on my head along with some of that fab eye wear!
Looks like fun! I’m doing a 50s living room style photobooth. So I’m getting those 50s glasses frames (the thick black rimmed nerd glasses), 2 seater vintage couch, old newspaper, mustaches, 50s styled hats, etc.
My son and I totally hit garage sales and the Dollar Tree hard this last year and we have a very large assortment of props for our fauxtobooth stored up and ready to go I am in envy of the wigs…seriously.
We are going the things on sticks route like your first picture.Well, those and chalkboard speech bubbles!
I will gladly take all of your props off your hands after the wedding! tee hee. . .but seriously
Adorable! Those Mickey and Minnie Mouse hats are just too much! I want them so bad!
