You can stand under my umbrella: Wedding Parasols





Wedding day accessories/props like balloons, bags, and bubbles are a lot of fun in bridal portraits, but one of my favorites is the parasol. The fancy looking, delicately classic parasol that a bride (and her party) can carry around during their photo session.


It's a sweet look, reminiscent of old times and oh so lady like.



Parasols also add some texture and lots of fun to a photo.

And it can provide shade from the sun and be a great keepsake for after the wedding.


It would be so fun to incorporate a parasol into some of our photos, even our engagement photos! Here are a few websites that have parasols in a variety of colors, shapes, and textures.

Luna Bazaar
Sara's Parasols
foxandprince on Etsy

Will you add a fun element to your bridal portraits?

Oooh! Parasols are so pretty.
We'll probably have parasols for guests, so maybe we'll steal one away for portraits.

Love the parasols! We're doing sunglasses for the bridal party for fun shots & the girls will also have pink flip flops to put on for pictures @ the beach
