Tulle Wedding Decorations
Tulle wedding decorations can help set the mood for your wedding. Wedding tulle can be incorporated into pew decorations, bows and flowers. It can be used indoors or outdoors. Tulle is amazingly inexpensive and comes in almost any color. So you can buy one or two bolts of tulle to help decorate your wedding ceremony and reception sites with very little cost. You can purchase tulle online or at any local fabric or hobby shop. Tulle Wedding Decorations for the Ceremony Starting in the church, one of the most commons places that tulle is used is on the pews.
Tulle can be draped from end to end on each pew or you can drape it on the back of the pews you want reserved for family or special guests. Use pew hooks to drape the tulle. Attach bows or flowers to the outside of the hook with a hot glue gun. Stairway banisters and altar railings can be wound with tulle. Another wedding tulle decoration tip is to drape the doors and windows in the church with the tulle. By adding small white lights or ivy to the draped tulle you can add a more dramatic effect to your decorations. Tulle can also be used on the wall behind the alter. Tie the swags of tulle with ribbon. The ribbon can be tied randomly or at the upper right and left corners of the swag. Just be sure not to overdue the tulle decorations. Too much can take away from the beauty of the wedding and actually become gaudy. FOR AN OUTDOOR WEDDING CEREMONY For an outdoor wedding ceremony, tie tulle bows around the back of the chairs. Tulle can also, be wrapped around the columns and railings of a gazebo or around tree trunks. Mix and match the tulle colors to go with your wedding colors. MAKE AN AISLE Another tulle wedding decoration idea is to mark off a walking path or aisle. Rent wreath stands and rope the tulle across the hooks, spacing the stands several feet apart. Decorate each stand with flowers or a wreath. Or make an aisle by using six metal drapery rods as polls to form a center aisle (three on each side). Swag or drape the tulle across the aisle, attaching to the drape rods. If you are using seating chairs for an outdoor wedding, attach the wedding tulle to the chair at the end of the first row - the chair that is next to the aisle. Drape the tulle and then attach it to the chair behind. Continue attaching the tulle to the chairs at the end of the rows until all the rows have tulle connecting them. Do this on both sides of the aisle. TULLE WEDDING DECORATIONS FOR YOUR RECEPTION Used tulle to designate a special table at the wedding reception - such as, the gift table, the cake table and the bride and groom's table.
Another easy diy wedding decoration is to drape the tulle over the windows and doorways or swirl it over a gazebo or trellis. Don't forget that you can incorporate small white lights for a fairy tale effect. You can also drape tulle along the banisters and railings with strings of pearls intertwined. To save money, use tulle to tie around your chairs, instead of using full chair covers or make your own chair covers using wedding tulle. It takes about three yards to create a flowing drape over a chair. After draping the tulle around the chair, wrap the back of the chair with a wide ribbon to hold the tulle in place.
If you are using ready made chair covers, just add a tulle bow around the chair back for added color. A WEDDING TULLE GAZEBO Create a gazebo out of tulle or any chiffon-like fabric! The columns are created by suspending heavy cord or white plastic clothesline from the ceiling to the floor. Starting at the ceiling, gather the fabric around the suspended line by tying it tightly to the line with ribbon every 2 or 3 feet. To make the top of the gazebo, sew together four widths of 60 inch fabric by about seven yards long. Thread a heavy fishing line through a 6 inch section at the center of this square piece and draw the fabric up to the ceiling, creating a pointed roof. Then bring the corners of the fabric over to meet the four columns; tie them to the vertical lines supporting the columns. TULLE KISSING BALLS Tulle kissing ball can be made by cutting 4 inch squares of tulle. You will need around 60 squares. Take one of the tulle squares and make a point in the center of the material. Using a styrofoam ball, punch a hole in the ball with a pencil - going about a 1/4 of an inch into the ball. Put fabric glue in the hole and stick the point of the tulle square into the hole. Cover the ball completely with the tulle squares. DIY WEDDING FAVORS MADE WITH TULLE Tulle can be used to make wedding favors.
