2017.02.04 published
Cute "Tulle Takasago" is not available at wedding venues…!
Fluffy and cute tulle and organza create a princess-like "Tulle Takasago," which is a girl's dream*
However, since it is not yet a mainstream option, many wedding venues respond with "We've never done this before" or "We can do it if you bring your own, but we don't handle it."
If your wedding venue doesn't have Tulle Takasago, you should DIY ♡
Many brides who hear this tend to consider DIY◎ If you make fluffy and cute Takasago tulle by hand, you can definitely create something adorable and possibly save money compared to ordering it*
But of course, I’ve never made a Tulle Takasago before, and I have no idea how much tulle I need to prepare.
Therefore, here’s a guide on how many meters of tulle you'll need*
How long is the Tulle Takasago of senior brides?
First, let’s introduce some examples from brides* A very cute main table with fluffy pink tulle ribbons♡
This Tulle Takasago consists of two parts; the long horizontal section uses about 2m, and the ribbon section uses around 3m* The total tulle used is 5m! To make it cute, you need a lot of tulle♡
The Tulle Takasago of this bride has a natural feel and a ton of volume♡ It’s layered with shiny organza over coarse cream-colored tulle*
The making process involved hand-sewing about 16m of fabric to gather it and finishing it with a sewing machine! Hand-sewing is amazing♡
Conclusion: For a voluminous type of Tulle Takasago, you need 【Table Length × 10 times】!
While I don't know the exact length of your main table, it’s probably around 1.5m to 2m.
The pink Takasago from @i_chi_go_831 covers about half of the main table with 2m of tulle and 3m of ribbon. The Takasago from @shiorin.wedding1119 is of the voluminous type and uses 16m, so to create a fluffy and voluminous Tulle Takasago, you'll need 【Table Length × 10 times or more】 of tulle*
To make a fluffy Tulle Takasago, you need to gather the tulle and organza. So, be sure to prepare plenty of tulle and organza◎
Now, what kind of designs and how are senior brides creating their Tulle Takasago? Let’s take a look while making rough predictions*
Senior Bride's Tulle Takasago ①
How much tulle is used for the fluffy, voluminous Tulle Takasago? The key is that it’s decorated in several layers with tulle of varying lengths*
Therefore, it seems multiple tulle pieces of "Takasago Length × 10 times" will be needed◎ A lot of materials are essential to create a fluffy Tulle Takasago♡
Senior Bride's Tulle Takasago ②
This Tulle Takasago looks like it might have a volume that is about 10 times the length of the main table* By incorporating fairy lights, the fluffy tulle is even more beautifully illuminated♡
Senior Bride's Tulle Takasago ③
This main table also layers tulle in two tiers, so it seems that you’ll need about 10 times the length of Takasago for both the longer and shorter tulle* Having them in two tiers adds even more volume, so it's recommended◎
Senior Bride's Tulle Takasago ⑥
Placing tulle like foreign curtains seems to require less tulle* About 3 to 5m of tulle should suffice◎ Since it looks like curtains, even with less volume, it maintains an elegant image♩
How much does it cost to DIY a Tulle Takasago?
Now, how much would it roughly cost to DIY a cute Tulle Takasago like those of senior brides…?
The usual size of a main table, viewed from the front, is about [2m × 50cm]. Since a Tulle Takasago requires about 10 times the horizontal length, the necessary tulle length becomes [20m × 50cm]*
This time, let's estimate using pink tulle from Amazon* We’ll use this tulle for the calculation♩
✓ About 1m × 50cm
✓ Pink tulle
✓ About 300 yen
