Words to take to your supplier

Olive pleats become the room’s quiet backdrop
A long run of tailored folds changes the room’s perimeter while leaving the ceiling and doorway visible.

What I want to borrow: A lined wall creates a continuous color field behind tables and photographs. The repeated vertical folds feel more tailored than swags or gathered curtains.
Adaptation to discuss: Request a drawing with the actual run, returns and support footprint. Use a fabric sample beside the linen and flowers. Ask the venue to identify every fixture, opening and feature that must remain clear.

Questions for our supplier:
• What usable floor area changes after the supports and fabric are installed?
• Is the back and each exposed end finished for the views guests will see?
• Who signs off the layout, fabric specification and removal schedule?

Scope to confirm: Olive pleats with a measured wall span, hem and agreed attachment route.
Responsible people: Venue service lead and styling supplier; one owner for installation and collection.
Before confirming: Confirm protection of the venue’s surfaces, full installation access and who removes and returns every component.
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.
