Use Your Tulles – Decorate With Tulle For A Wedding

One way to feel like a fairy princess on your big day is to decorate with tulle for your wedding. The fabric lends an airy look to anything you put it on and is great for layering, especially if you are just looking for a hint of color. Use tulle in multiple places for your wedding to make the most of this lovely and simple way to make your wedding decor elegant and sophisticated.


Bows

Tulle when made into a bow keeps its shape remarkable well. You won’t have to worry about droopy bows like you might get with satin or other flimsy ribbons. Use them to decorate pews, doors and tables. Add a single flower to the center for an extra punch of color. You can even use satin over the tulle to keep its shape and give the satin a more ethereal feel. For added sparkle spray canned adhesive lightly over the bow and sprinkle on some very fine glitter.


Chairs and tables

If you want just a hint of color to accent your tables or chairs, consider using a tulle overlay. You can cut the tulle into just about any size and shape you would need easily. If you decorate with tulle for a wedding reception, you can use it in several locations without it being overwhelming.

If you would like, use a colored tulle overlay on your tables, bows on the chairs and swags over windows all in the same color. It will soften the look of your reception area and can even make the Elk’s lodge look elegant. This works especially well if you are using white table cloths or chair covers.


As plant coverings

Use the existing topiary, shrubs and trees at your ceremony or reception location. Dress them up by swathing them in tulle and securing it with a bow, or use a large tulle bow to dress up the ordinary greens.

This works especially well outside of churches that have sculpted greenery at the entrance or at the reception hall on some of the trees near the entrance. Somehow decorating with tulle for a wedding makes even the most ordinary oak tree or topiary seem like it stepped out of a magazine.


Arches and favors

Tulle drapes well and can be gathered easily and secured with ribbons, wires and flowers. This is why it works especially well for arches. It looks great draped or twisted around an archway, but looks even more spectacular when you add a few sprigs of you wedding flower or some trailing ribbons. Carry the theme to your wedding favors.

Tulle secured with ribbons or small flowers attached to wrapped wire can make even a simple candle look like a special token. Adding a cute note to the package will further endear your guests, and may save you quite a bit of time and money.

Small candles, chocolates, candies, frames and seed packets all look even more distinctive when wrapped with a piece of gauzy tulle. This is just one more way to decorate with tulle for your wedding and add panache.

Learning how to decorate with tulle for a wedding is simple and fun. Purchasing yards of your favorite color can go a long way in making your day dreamy. Feel like a true fairy tale bride and echo the look of tulle in several places in your wedding decor.
