Words to take to your supplier

An ivory canopy that softens the whole room
Light passes through broad fabric sweeps while the windows and stone walls remain part of the room.

What I want to borrow: An overhead treatment brings the visual focus closer to the tables. It suits a brief in which softness matters more than hiding every existing surface.
Adaptation to discuss: Keep the gentle curves but compare fewer bands with a fuller canopy in a supplier drawing. Test the actual fabric against daylight and ask the venue and installer to review the complete overhead proposal.

Questions for our supplier:
• Which approved support system can this room accommodate?
• How will this change daylight and the existing lighting?
• What access, installation and removal time is included?

Scope to confirm: A ceiling canopy with measured fabric spans, fixing plan and installation labor.
Responsible people: Venue service lead and styling supplier; one owner for installation and collection.
Before confirming: The venue and installer must approve supports, material requirements, clearance and access equipment before ordering.
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.
