Savvy Wedding/Party Idea: IKEA Ung Drill Baroque Frame for your photo booth

September 20, 2012

The husband and I like to think we started the photo booth trend when we had a small one for our wedding in 2009.  Ok, we didn’t actually start the trend, but we do love an excuse to wear ridiculous wigs and hats on top of our formal attire!

I saw the vintage, ornate Ung drill from IKEA and loved the shape and size.  I knew it would be perfect as a prop for our pseudo vintage wedding photo booth!

Ung Drill, IKEA, $29.99

Our friends definitely had fun with it!  These crazy kids are married now.  Was it moments like this one with a random frame for a photo booth shot that pushed them over the edge?  Obviously!

Here are some decor ideas for this frame:

  • Use to post a collage of significant pictures
  • Paint over with chalkboard paint and use as a chalkboard
  • Utilize as part of a gallery wall of fun images
  • Replace with glass and use as a mirror

How else would you use this frame?

    Stunning picture, so precious. I have a frame like that too, the last thing I bought before I stopped shopping at Ikea. Still haven’t put anything in it! Have a super day doll x

    Yes, we definitely used this frame for the photobooth at our wedding! I put some cute, pink striped fabric in the frame and hung it in our split bath over the toilet, but I may need to reuse it for the photobooth we are planning for our upcoming Halloween party 🙂

    Photo booths are so much fun! I love that IKEA frame, and what a great price, too!

    That is so cute! I love that idea. I saw some more examples on Etsy the other day. It really spices up the picture.

    This product has been on my wish list for a while now. I want to turn it into a chalk board. Great for collage, recipe or mood / inspiration board too. I love the photo booth idea. Beautiful couple pic! 🙂

    Ha, love a good photo booth! Such a great idea to use this fun frame for it, and am LOVING the idea of converting it into a chalkboard too – may have to steal that one from you!
