What are some DIY wedding decorations with sheer materials?

Sheer materials are brilliant for adding romance without weight or cost. Drape lengths of tulle or organza over tables as runners, or tie them around chair backs with a simple knot or ribbon. For a ceiling canopy, hang sheer fabric from a central point and let it fall in soft waves, or stretch it across a wall as a backdrop. You can also make floating panels by suspending sheer squares from a wooden frame or branch, and add fairy lights behind them for a glowing effect. Use sheer fabric to wrap jam jars or bottles as candle holders, or to make simple flower wraps around bouquets and centrepieces. For an outdoor wedding, sheer curtains on a pergola or between trees create a lovely sense of enclosure. Remember that sheer fabric can be slippery, so use clips or double-sided tape to hold it in place. Wash or steam it before the day to remove creases. Keep the colour palette light, like white, ivory, blush or pale blue, so the fabric looks airy rather than heavy.
