Wedding Umbrellas

Instead of the traditional flower bouquets, why not opt for a fun, colorful array of umbrellas to carry? Umbrellas come in multiple colors and styles for you to choose from. They are perfect for an upbeat alternative or for more practical reasons. If your wedding is held outside and the weather turns out to be less than what you had dreamed for, then umbrellas can save your wedding.

Instead of dragging all your plans into a last-minute indoor location, provide a variety of umbrellas for your guests to sit under. Umbrellas can be found in different sizes, made for one person to three or four people, varying the number of umbrellas you need to provide. At the end of the ceremony, they can also be the favors your guests can take home.

If rain is in the forecast as your wedding gets closer, purchase umbrellas ahead of time, being sure to keep the tags on them. If your day ends up being wonderful, then return the umbrellas with the tags still on and no money is lost. If it does rain, though, you’re prepared!

 

According to you wedding theme, choose an umbrella style you and your bridesmaids will carry which best coordinates. A more vintage style wedding? Consider umbrellas made of wood or with delicate designs.  A more contemporary wedding? Choose bright, bold colors with a more traditional umbrella design. Have your bridesmaids pick the ones they like most and let them keep the umbrellas as your gift to them.

Whether it’s raining out or not, umbrellas work as creative photo opportunities. From goofy and lighthearted to coquettish and demure, they provide the ideal prop for an array of unique photos which will be sure to provide wonderful memories for years to come.
