Tulle Bridal Shower Decoration Ideas

Tulle is a very lightweight, sheer woven mesh fabric that has long been part of a bride's ensemble.  But that's only the beginning of its many bridal uses.  While tulle is fancy enough to use at the wedding, its use in a more casual bridal shower setting also makes perfect sense.  Available in a rainbow of colors, tulle brings an air of romance and versatility to your bridal shower decoration ideas.  The possibilities are endless.

Tulle balloons.
Incorporate tulle balloons into your bridal shower decoration ideas.  Simply wrap tulle around a balloon and secure with ribbon.  Add flowers or other decorative elements if desired.  Balloons will not float even when filled with helium due to the weight of the tulle and flowers.  Attach balloon to a pick and insert into centerpiece or use fishing line to hang from ceiling to give the illusion of floating.
