Below we have a few practical suggestions on how to use our beloved tulle for your wedding and other decorating needs.

Most people may not be skilled enough to make their very own bridal gown, however you don’t have to be an expert to make a decent looking bridal veil. Some bridal veils can be pretty expensive. . . in lieu of the fact that a yard of tulle on average cost about $1.49- $1.98!
With wedding costs on a rise, making your own veil is an easy and practical way to save money.
How to Make a Bridal Veil
* drape and fold over according to preferred length
* if needed, round out bottom edges of tulle with sharp dressmaker shears
* according to preference attach sequins, rhinestones, silk flowers etc. using fabric glue and toothpicks
* once dry, take hand-sewing needle with threa and work your
way in and out (over, under, over, under) of the fold
* Pull and gather
* Hand sew gathered edge onto a clear comb
Soften Party Lights
* If you want to add a little touch of class to white party lights, take a few yards of tulle and wrap around the lights for a soft glow.
Decorate Pews, Chairbacks & Use as Table Skirts
* With tulle, all you have to do is simply drape, fold or gather however you please. Unlike organza, chiffon or organdy, which are other popular wedding fabrics, you don’t have to finish the edges of tulle because it won’t unravel.
* Have a ball dressing the ceremonial area with elegant drapes of tulle.
* Wrap around chairbacks and tie in a bow. Attach flowers or other decorative elements
* Drape over guest tables or adorn face of head table
Wrap Wedding Favors
* Usually done with tulle circles, use tulle to wrap wedding favors
* Better yet, nix the over-priced pre-cut tulle circles and easily cut your own squares to hold everyting from mints to rice
