Stumped for ideas on how to revamp and decorate an otherwise grim wedding reception? One simple solution that’s catching on is the use of Tulle as a plant base cover. This caught on as the result of some the restrictions that some churches place on what decorations they see fit to use. Meaning that some churches limit the amount of decor you can use inside, the workaround is making better use of the entry-way and steps via a tulle plant base. One great piece of advice that I heard recently was that to help maximize your budget one should utilize the decor that the church already available to cut costs. The plants might be all silk or they be a combination or real and silk, whatever the case you don’t want to pass on the opportunity to overlook free materials.
Tulle Plant Base
What you need:
1 to 2 inches of ribbon
1 to 2 yards of tulle for every plant and tree
Directions:
1. Place the base of the plant or tree in the center of your piece of tulle
2. Begin to wrap the tulle up the sides on the plant towards the top of the base
3. Using the ribbon, draw all sides of the top of the tulle together then make a bow
Remember when decorating that you should do so in threes, unless your doing something very symmetry driven (think lining each side of a staircase). Also, keep in mind of your surroundings to strategically cover up eye-sores such a utility box or light switch. Think and plan ahead then decorate, the decor will be much better and very little time will be wasted.
