For big flair that costs just a little, get your hands on some tulle. This inexpensive, gauzy fabric is available in a range of colors at local fabric stores like Jo-Ann. Here are a few of our favorite uses for tulle.
Canopy Ceiling Swags
With or without a canopy liner, you can dress up your wedding tent with lengths of tulle.
For a square tent, swag from each corner up to the center. For larger canopies, swag from the sides to each center pole. Call us at (360) 707-2115 and one of our event experts will talk you through it.
Be sure to purchase pieces of fabric that are longer than the distance you want to cover so you get that soft curve in the swags.
Bridesmaid Dress Sashes
Personalize a simple bridesmaid dress with a tulle wrap. Tie a big bow in back for a dramatic,”now” look. Get directions from Martha Stewart.
Or, embellish the bride’s gown with a pretty bow at the shoulder, like Monique Lhuillier did.
Chair Sashes
For an airy alternative to specialty fabric chair sashes, tie your seats with tulle. (Tulle sashes shown here with children’s table and chairs.)
Remember, because we don’t rent by they hour, you can usually get your chairs and other event rental items a day or two in advance without extra charges so you have time to decorate.
More ideas: Wrap a plain-jane ring pillow in a bold color or swap standard leg drape ties for swashes of tulle.
