How To Tie Tulle To Wedding Chairs

Sometimes the chairs available for use at weddings are not great to look at. In these situations, it is necessary for the bride to decorate the chairs for the ceremony. An easy way to decorate chairs is with tulle. If you are wondering how to tie tulle to wedding chairs, then worry no more. Use these tips and you will find out how to tie tulle to wedding chairs beautifully.

Before you begin decorating wedding chairs with tulle, go to the nearest craft store and buy an adequate amount of tulle. It is cheaper to buy it by the roll, and craft stores will often give you a discount for buying large amounts. You will be able to choose from several colors of tulle.

White and ivory are the most popular colors, but do not be afraid to try other colors for your chairs. If you want a little color, but are afraid of being too bold, try a color like light pink or light yellow. You will have your touch of color without the worry of being too color crazy. You will also need some safety pins.

You will need to decide how much decorating chairs with tulle needs to be done. There are several ways to decorate chairs at a wedding party with tulle. If the chair is presentable, but you want to add a little decoration to it, then consider tying a tulle bow around the back. You will need about three yards of material. For a simple look, wrap the middle of the strip of tulle around the back of the chair and tie a shoestring bow in the middle of the back. For extra flair, stick a faux flower down into the bow.

If the chair is hideous and needs to be completely covered, try this method. This works well on light colored chairs. Darker chairs may need to be covered with solid white material first. Take a large piece of tulle and drape it over the entire chair. Push in on the seat to form the area where the guest will sit. Pull it together in the back and use safety pins to hold the shape of the seat. This will ensure the tulle does not fall off or tear when guests sit down.

Next, with three yards of tulle, follow the instructions for the tulle bow around the back. You can even choose to use a different color for the seat and the bow for extra contrast.

Learning how to tie tulle to wedding chairs is a breeze. Many brides pay designers large amounts to do these simple decorations; so if have the time, try to do it yourself. It is simple and inexpensive when done yourself. The trick to the whole design is to keep experimenting until you get the look you want.
