Either tulle or those really wispy gossamer curtains, and maybe put the flowers on the tie backs for the curtains?

Or mosquito netting, I have one around my bed, It's really thin and you can tie it back however, think I got it at Pier 1. But I waas gonna do the gossamer thing, seems like tulle would be kinda stiff and you would need a lot of it to get the look you want.

I agree that depending on the type of tulle you get it could be very stiff and not flow and blow in the wind like you may want it to. But that soft tulle stuff may work. IDK you may just have to go into some fabric stores and feel on fabric and see what you like and what you think may work.

I know the sell tulle in bulk on the dollar tree website, but if your worried about the tule being too stiff, I don't think it would be, look for organza or something like that in bulk. I know they sell it in bulk on some of the frequented websites like http://www.save-on-crafts.com/organza13.html and http://www.koyalwholesale.com/index.php?zenid=efc2d1b618760d964b5ae8a4a90fe8ea&main_page=advanced_search_result&inc_subcat=1&search_in_description=&keyword=organza

try going into Joann's and checking out the fabric, they have tons of different fabrics and tulle isn't that expenisve it is usually $1.50 a yard and a lot of times it is on sale for $1.19 a yard, I think tulle wouldn't be that stiff, I use it a lot for different things, even got some to make my veil.
