Tulle & Lights Reception Ideas

Tulle and lights can be used in a variety of ways to decorate wedding receptions.

Tulle and lights can add a hint of soft romance to any wedding reception. Incorporate these pretty and fun decorations into a wedding celebration. No matter the theme or color palette, tulle and lights are perfect additions to the celebration of the bride and groom's new life together.

Head Table

One of the most popular places to add tulle and lights is along the head table. Drape tulle along the length of the head table, with small strings of holiday lights bunched into the tulle. Consider using tulle that matches the color of the bridesmaid dresses, or using white tulle with colored lights underneath. This decoration idea will help the head table stand out as a centerpiece in the reception hall.

Ceiling

To turn a standard banquet hall into a magical and romantic wedding reception, consider draping large swaths of tulle from the corner of the room to the center of the ceiling. Include hundreds of tiny lights inside the tulle to add a soft and sweet feel to any wedding reception. White tulle works best, with either white lights or lights that match the bride's color palette to complete the look.

Cake Table

Use tulle and lights for decorations on the cake table. Consider placing tulle all around the cake, with strings of lights underneath the tulle. This will create a soft glow and help set the cake apart from the rest of the reception. This is a great place to incorporate the color palette by adding colored tulle. White lights underneath the tulle will create a soft, sensual glow perfect for the special moment when the bride and groom cut the cake.

Centerpieces

To add a romantic feel to each table at the reception, use tulle around the centerpieces. Using a small amount of tulle to circle the centerpieces will add flow and depth to each table. Strings of light under the tulle will help light the table into the night and creates a beautiful glow during the waning night hours of the reception.
