Glossary term

Photo backdrop (photo corner)

A corner dressed with flowers or foliage where guests have their photos taken; sometimes paired with a flower bar.

A photo backdrop, often called a photo corner in Italy, is a spot at the reception with a decorated background for guests' photos. It can be a flower wall, a floral arch reused from the ceremony, or a frame of foliage. It often sits next to the flower bar, a station where guests make a small posy to take home, or to the confettata.

One rich corner gets seen and photographed more than ten scattered bud vases, so it is a good place to focus the budget. It needs light in the evening too, and room for a queue. The guide on floral corners covers photo corners, flower bars and the confettata; the one on the flower wall covers walls of flowers; the one on flowers for birthdays and anniversaries shows how it works at private parties.

What to ask: what the background will be, how it will be lit, and whether it is reused from the ceremony.
