I want to try a Pearl Shower production ♡
A classic wedding performance, the "Flower Shower" * While flower showers were once the mainstream, recently various types of showers have become standard, not just flowers ◎
Among these, the particularly popular one is the "Pearl Shower" * Pearls are also called natural gemstones and are said to hold powers of beauty and health for women ♡ A pearl shower, where pearls are showered down, adds a perfect touch of glamour to weddings ♩ It is a performance loved by many brides**
How to DIY a Pearl Shower?
When it comes to a pearl shower, you don't just throw pearls directly but use tulle to make it fluffy ◎ Don't you think the combination of pearls and tulle is just super cute? ♡
Many might think that it’s enough to attach pearls to tulle, but in reality, if you don't study it well, the pearls won’t fall down in a cute and fluffy manner. If you aim for a cute and airy pearl shower but it turns out too fluffy to fly properly, or if the pearls are too heavy and fall quickly, it would be a shock, right...!
Therefore, caution is necessary when DIYing a pearl shower! This time, I will introduce the points to note and the method for making a pearl shower ♡
Tips for making a Pearl Shower: Point 1 - Consider the material, weight, and size of the pearls *
The first thing to note when DIYing a pearl shower is the material, weight, and size of the pearls ◎ The pearls for the pearl shower should not be real but should use "imitation pearls" ♩ Real ones are too expensive to use for a pearl shower...!
Among imitation pearls, the ones suitable for a pearl shower are plastic pearls or cotton pearls * Cotton pearls are lighter compared to plastic pearls ♡
It’s recommended to prepare and test various materials and sizes before handmade, considering the combination with tulle and ribbons*
This bride decided on the 8mm size of cotton pearls ♡
Tips for making a Pearl Shower: Point 2 - Consider the material and size of the tulle *
The material and size of the tulle are also crucial points when DIYing a pearl shower! Thick and large tulle will be too heavy and fall quickly.
However, if both the tulle and pearls are too light, it might not fly at all! The size of the tulle is generally a 10cm square, but it can vary depending on the material and weight of the tulle* Since there are many types of tulle available, choose your favorite and give it a try ♩
Recently, using "drain nets" sold at 100 yen shops instead of tulle has also become popular*
Tips for making a Pearl Shower: Point 3 - Consider the material and size of the ribbon *
Lastly, let’s think about the material and size of the ribbon to be attached to the pearl shower ◎ You can choose to attach a ribbon or not, but it’s recommended to attach one for a cuter look ♡
There are various types of ribbons like organza, satin, and tulle* It’s also a good idea to choose the tulle and pearls based on your favorite ribbon ♩

I have introduced the important points for making a pearl shower ◎ Once you select pearls, tulle, and ribbons according to the notes, all you need to do is prepare the fishing line ♡
First, cut the tulle to your desired size (10cm squares seem to work well*) and wrap the pearls. After wrapping the pearls, use the fishing line to tie and then glue the ribbon, and you’re done ♩
Instead of using fishing line, you can use wire that comes with flowers used for wrapping; this allows you to attach flowers and secure everything in one step, making it even easier ◎ You can also tie the ribbon without using fishing line directly ♩
And there you have it, your fluffy and cute pearl shower is complete ♡
Let’s have a glamorous wedding with a Pearl Shower ♩
I shared the points to consider when making a fluffy and cute pearl shower * Many brides emphasize that selecting materials is crucial for handmade pearl showers! Whether it will float gently on the big day depends on the initial preparations ◎
Be sure to keep these tips in mind while finding your favorite pearls, tulle, and ribbons, and enjoy DIYing your cute pearl shower ♡
