Tulle is a lightweight, netted fabric made from various fibers like silk and nylon. It’s often used in weddings for veils, gowns, and decorative purposes. Tulle comes in nearly every color – from spring colors to traditional white. Wedding gowns are puffed using several layers of tulle and of course, the bridal veil is a must-have for every wedding. This netted fabric covers the bride’s face while still allowing the bride to see.
Tying tulle to the back of a chair and making a bow is a great way to decorate the dining chairs at the reception site. Using tulle circles to wrap wedding favors is also a wonderful idea. Choose tulle that complement your wedding colors or go with the classic white or ivory. The tulle circles can be filled with candy and tied with a beautiful bow. Not only is this a clever idea, it’s also an inexpensive way to present your favors.
In addition to weddings, tulles can be used for other occasions like birthday parties. Shimmer tulle is perfect for a little girl’s birthday party. Imagine the room decorated in pink and lilac tulle or even better, dress the birthday girl in a glamorous tutu made from her favorite tulle color. There are endless possibilities for parties with this great fabric.

Wedding Favor Boxes & Favor Bags
Party favor boxes or bags are perfect for any occasion. Whether it’s a wedding, kids birthday party, or the bachelorette party, guests often expect to go home with some goodies when they attend the event. A simple and cost-effective solution is to fill empty favor boxes or bags with some candy. Choosing a bag that goes with the theme of the party is a great idea. For a wedding, you can have custom wedding favor boxes, filled with candy. Kids birthday parties, for example, usually have character themes such as princesses or superheroes and it’s fairly easy to find complementing favor bags. In addition to filling the bags with candy, you can also include small toys, stickers, pencils, or other party favor items.
For more elegant occasions such as weddings, many people choose to go with cloth favor bags made from fabric material such as organza or satin. Unique heart shaped or pearl embroidered bags are great choices for weddings as well. Choose between traditional white bags or find ones that match your wedding colors. While filling the bags with candy is probably the easiest option, some couples may include other small wedding favors.
You can find favor bags in different colors, patterns, sizes, and styles. Whether they are plastic or fabric, favor bags are an inexpensive way to show your guests that you appreciate their time and effort in attending your special event.
