It's tradition to celebrate an upcoming marriage with a wedding shower. These are thrown by friends or family members in the bride's honor. Planning a bridal shower involves cooperation and teamwork. Looking for ways to save money isn't a bad idea either. Consider decorating with tulle at a wedding shower to add beauty but save in the pocketbook. Tulle can be used in several ways to decorate for a bridal shower, comes in a variety of colors and is inexpensive.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tulle
  • Scissors
  • Flowers
  • Corsage pins
  • Pins, tape or nails
  • Ribbon
  1. Step 1

    Select a matching color. Choose a color of tulle to match the décor of the wedding shower. Consider using the same color as the bride chose for the wedding. Select colors to match the season or theme of the shower. If you're having trouble selecting a color, go with a traditional white tulle for shower decorations.

  2. Step 2

    Tie bows on shower chairs. Cut the tulle and tie one bow on a chair. Use this as a guide for cutting the other pieces of tulle before tying the pieces. The decorating will go faster when the tulle is pre-cut for the correct length. Use a special color tulle or add flowers to signify the bride's chair.

  3. Step 3

    Drape tulle around the serving and gift tables. Start at one corner of the table and attach the tulle using corsage pins. Create a swag in the tulle and attach again in the center of the table. Repeat and attach to the other end of the table. Think about using white tablecloths to make the colors of tulle stand out.

  4. Step 4

    Outline the entry way with tulle. Attach tulle to the top corners of the door frame with pins, tape or nails. Tie the tulle into a loose knot and attache the back of the knot to hide the pins, tape or nails. Allow the tulle to hang freely down both sides of the door frame.

  5. Step 5

    Wrap small favors in tulle. Use tulle to decorate wedding shower favors. Wrap candles in tulle and tie with a matching ribbon. Place small candies in the center of a piece of tulle. Gather the tulle and secure with a ribbon. Attach a note, thanking guests for attending the wedding shower.
