Tulle is a lightweight fabric.
Creating the perfect atmosphere for your wedding takes work and creativity. One way to make a reception space look whimsical and romantic is by using fabric to decorate the ceiling. Use floating fabric, such as tulle or organza, to create drape fabric to create do-it-yourself tent ceiling draping. Use fabric in bright, bold colors, or stick with sheer, white fabric.
Instructions
1. Measure the size of the room using measuring tape. Use those measurements to find out the length of fabric that you will need. Take into account that you will be draping the fabric.
2. Choose from lightweight or heavyweight drapery hooks. Generally, when creating a ceiling tent, a heavy hook is ideal. If the fabric is light, you may get away with lighter ones.
3. Lay the fabric on a flat surface. Put the end of the drapery hook into one end of the fabric. That end of the drapery hook should come out of the bottom of the fabric.
4. Install one drapery hook in the center of the reception hall. Attach one end of a piece of fabric to the hook.
5. Drape the fabric across the ceiling from that center drapery hook. Secure the end of that fabric with a drapery hook.
6. Continue doing the same thing with as many pieces of fabric that it takes on the ceiling. Do it in concentric circles from the center.
