I'd say ivory, BUT the white may not be too white either since it's so thin and not going to be peoples focus anyway.
I think ivory would look better because it's so soft and romantic. I love tulle... I guess it's the six year old wannabe prima ballerina in me. :P
I am with you lilyfaith I am tulle lover!! I saw the title of this post and was like "yay for tulle"! I would say do ivory.
I'd go with ivory. It'll probably be so thin that it appears fairly white anyway. If you end up wanting it darker, you can tea dye it in your tub.
Could you show us some photographs of the location? I've tempted to say Black and Champagne tulle gathered together... but I really need to see how industrial your venue is to begin with
I vote ivory... and you can get 40 yards for 10 dollars at http://www.giftsintl-us.com/... they have other colors too. :) I know that the site looks a little sketch, but I ordered from them, and it all came!
Here are some photos...they are not the best quality, but it's all I got.
It's an airport hanger (my FI is a plane freak). The first photo is a bit dark, but that's the balcony above (it goes outside also) and the museum below. We will set up our bar, cake table and buffet in that room. The next two photos are of where the eating and dancing will take place. It's a huge room with a giant screen on one side and a HUGE garage door on the other side (they have to get the planes in there somehow). You can kind of see the ceiling in those photos. It will be pretty easy to drap tulle from there and it will help hide some of the poles.
The last photo, is of someone elses' wedding. It's a little "blah" but it's a different view. I plan on getting some uplighting to soften the place and bring in some color.
Ideally, I would have liked a better location to start with, but the price was right ($600 for the entire weekend) and we were able to supply our own alcohol and bring in our own caterer...which was the most important since my FI is also a chef and got a friend to do our catering.
Any help is appreciated...

I would do a darker ivory tulle to help soften the starkness of the white and better blend with your colors.
hmmmm...apparently the photos didn't work....let me try again.

You need to use tulle for sure. I would probably gather it and add some ribbon in places as well to add color.
I'm pretty sure you just wrap it around things and drap it off of things...then play around with it until it's sitting pretty...I think...
I would actually vote for the champagne or ivory tulle. With the addition of the location, you kind of have a white/ivory/champage thing going, very chic.
Hmmm...thanks. I never thought of myself as chic before, but feels good! lol! I guess I was afraid of combining ivory with white. I had heard somewhere that if I used white with my ivory dress it would make my dress look dirty...I don't know...probably just a rumor, but I'm new to all of this.
Thanks Monitajb! You made my day!
Don't worry about making your dress look dirty - once you have your lighting in place, the uplighting will give it a faint color tinge of whatever gobo you have in place. Unless you are planning to go with the stark flourescent light at any point, I don't think you should worry!
A friend of mine had her reception in a place similar to this (airplane museum) and it was great. There was something for the guys, space for the kids and an elegance. Get a bolt or two of tulle and some string or ties to secure it to places (string is easier to hind). sting it along the balcony (I like large u shapes). See what other places or hooks they have inplace on the wall to secure the tulle too. There are a lot of photos of barns dressed up this way in a google search of barn weddings to give you some inspiration.
What is the difference between a bolt of tulle and just the one's you can buy at Michaels?
Unless you are standing right against the tulle (if its white) it wont make your dress look dirty. I have an ivory dress and some of my decor will be white but Its not something that I will be standing right next to. Plus, like the other girls say, if you have the right lighting, you won't be able to tell. But ivory or champagne I think would be a better contrast to your venue, it might be good to add a little color too or some greenery.
A bolt is what fabric comes on in stores like JoAnn's and has a cardboard backing. The Michael's here sells small tulle on rolls and I think maybe white in a bolt. You will probably getting a better deal buying wholesale.
I think Tull is the best material for a wedding. I think that it will look beautiful go for it

Hi Bees! So...my reception site is extremely industrial and I'm looking to soften it up with some tulle. I plan to hang it on the ceiling with some lights wrapped up in it and drapped on the (concrete) walls. The trouble is...I'm wearing Ivory, the bridesmaids are wearing champagne, the table cloths will be Champagne with a black runner...and the walls and floor are WHITE! Should I purchase white tulle to match the walls and floor, OR should I stick with the theme and go with Ivory?
