Homecoming season is here — book your backdrop

Homecoming photos live forever. The difference between a driveway snapshot and a photo everyone posts is usually one thing: a proper backdrop.

We build organic balloon garlands and photo walls in your school's colors, delivered and installed at your house, the venue, or wherever the group is meeting for pictures.

What parents book for homecoming

  • Photo-wall garlands — the group shot everyone wants, in school colors
  • Balloon arches — frame the front door or the staircase
  • Hoco proposal balloons — a jumbo balloon with their name or the ask, delivered on your timing
  • Dance and gym decor — for schools and booster clubs running the event itself

School colors, done right

Straight primary colors photograph flat. We layer your school's official colors with neutrals — cream, chrome, champagne gold — so it still reads instantly as your school but looks designed instead of store-bought. Gonzaga Prep, Mead, Mt. Spokane, Central Valley, University, Ridgeline, Lewis and Clark, Ferris, Cheney, Coeur d'Alene, Lake City, Post Falls — we have built them all, and we have done work for Gonzaga University itself.

Only two things get photographed

Out of an entire decorated gym, students photograph the entrance and the photo wall. Everything else is atmosphere and disappears the moment the night ends. If your committee's budget is tight, put it there and skip the rest — we would rather tell you that than sell you a ceiling nobody looks up at.

Book early — this is our busiest stretch

Homecoming weekends cluster across the Inland Northwest in late September and early October, which means every school wants the same few evenings. Two to three weeks of lead time gets you your date and your palette. One week out and we are honestly turning some groups away.

Garlands run $15–20 per linear foot, photo backdrops and entrance arches start at $200 installed, and a full gym transformation is quoted after we see the space. See the full pricing menu or tell us your date and colors.

Prefer to hang it yourself and save the install cost? Ask about grab-and-go garlands.

Running the dance itself, or thinking ahead to winter formal and prom? See prom, banquets and school events, and read what to book and when.
