Pretty Pretty Parasols


Interested in a new look for your garden, beach or destination wedding? Try making parasols a part of your wedding fashion look!


The use of parasols originated in the East Indies. Royal Egyptians used them as protection from the sun. It was during the 1900’s that they became a staple fashion accessory. Parasols were later used in the Victorian era as a symbol of wealth and status. Although we do not see much of them today, parasols have started to be used more and more for wedding day festivities. They can add that pop of color and unique fashion flare to any wedding!



There are many ways to get creative with your parasol. You can have your wedding party carry them instead of a bouquet or you can lay them along the outdoor isle to create a unique decoration. Parasols can even be taken home as favors from the wedding!



When choosing a parasol for your wedding, be sure that you remember your theme. From Asian inspired prints and Caribbean colors, to garden florals- the possibilities are endless! Mix and match colors to go with the style and color choice of your bridesmaids.

Enjoy your parasols for these upcoming, sunny, summer weddings!
