A great and easy addition to any wedding or event is the use of favors. Wedding favors are small ‘thank you’ souvenirs given out by the bride and groom to any guest who attends their wedding. These are often overlooked by party decorators and planners in my opinion since most tend to focus on the larger pieces of an event. However the most appreciated and best valued items are usually the smallest and most personalized. This is why I am here today…to help you go over some of the finer details that really help make or break a wedding…so to speak.
In this case were talking about tulle circles and the many things you can do with them to spruce up any wedding and wedding reception. These literally cost pennies to make and require little to no skill, depending on who you are.
A previous post I wrote about tulle votive favors opened the doors to talk more about the use of favors at such elegant events.
One great idea that I’ve seen done on numerous occasions is using tulle circles to make champagne glass favors. This is where you take a champagne glass, fill it with candy/rice/decorative jewels/special note, and wrap the glass from the top towards the bottom with a tulle circle. Just make sure that the tulle circle is large enough in diameter that it completely covers the glass and maintains enough slack to tie the stem of the glass with a ribbon of some sort. Another nice touch to a piece like this is adding some decorative rose buds or lavender inside the glass to give the favor a more intimate feel.
Another fantastic use of tulle circles is to use them as a pouch for rice that will thrown at the wedding. Just pre-make the tulle circle into a pouch with an opening at the top and place a small handful of rice into the opening then tie a ribbon around the top. I also suggest attaching attaching a hand-written gift card if times permits to each one. This can easily fasten to the favor with an elastic band of some kind.
Finally…I save the easiest for last. Simple place large some large tulle circle under a place setting for dinner or under a vase for some added depth. There is nothing than a lonely looking table, so take some time to fix it up as inexpensively as you know how. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to incorporate some of the ideas I shared with you today at your wedding.


With the “green” movement in full effect, more and more cities continue to ban the use of plastic bags in malls and grocery stores. To be prepared do yourself a favor and keep a full stock of biodegradable and re-usable shopping bags around your house or in your car at all time. You own personal hand bag can not only be a helpful way to do your part, but it can also be another way to accessorize and show off your personal style. One way hand-bags are growing in popularity are cost efficient do-it-yourself bags that don’t take a lot of skill or money to create.
