Words to take to your supplier

Burgundy folds put the cake in the spotlight
One rich fabric surface makes a pale cake stand out while the surrounding walls remain uncovered.

What I want to borrow: Choose a focal backdrop when you want the cake, a ceremony moment or a musician to have a distinct setting. Its visual impact depends on the camera angle as well as the room view.
Adaptation to discuss: Keep the contrast and simplify the top swags for a quieter version. Decide the backdrop width with the actual table and people in place. Agree light, floor footprint and any planned move with the relevant suppliers.

Questions for our supplier:
• Does the backdrop fill the photographs we want without crowding the table?
• Where will the people stand for this moment?
• Does any reuse require a staffed move and a second approved layout?

Scope to confirm: A burgundy cake backdrop with its full base footprint and safe distance from the display.
Responsible people: Venue service lead and styling supplier; one owner for installation and collection.
Before confirming: Confirm support, material requirements and light placement with the installer and venue; do not attach to the cake table by assumption.
Working example (replace with actuals): Mock up one complete table with the service lead. Multiply only the tested arrangement by the number of tables using it, then list any agreed spares.
