If you take a look at any of the thousands of wedding blogs and wedding magazines, you’re likely to have come across the colorful, vintage parasols from Bella Umbrella. Parasols are great for shade and work beautifully for props when the sun is shining and I recommend you check out Jodell Egbert’s vintage collection.
The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Now, because I live in Portland, Oregon – I am more familiar with “umbrella”. It is spring and us true Oregonians definitely aren’t fazed by a little rain, but when it comes to your wedding day, that is a different story, especially if you are planning an outdoor wedding like my fellow blogger and bride-to-be unabashedbliss.com . Hopefully you have devised a “plan B” – just in case mother nature decides to NOT participate with you. You can coordinate some fabulous umbrellas with the entire wedding party as they walk towards and/or down the isle, if you are having an outdoor wedding. The pictures will turn out wonderfully, and I promise as long as your dad is carrying the umbrella, he has your beautiful head covered, your hair & makeup won’t be a mess once you reach your beautiful husband.
Click the above picture to get in contact with Freestone Innovations. The will make customized umbrella’s for you and your groom. What a perfect wedding favor for your guests to take home with them. I found out from Wishpot’s blog that umbrellas have long been used by ladies to draw the attention of men. I can just imagine a flirtatious twirl of a vintage umbrella by an enchanting bride is as hypnotizing to her groom as any watch swinging on a chain – are you seeing the “photograph” now? Super cute! And even more thanks to Wishpot’s blog, I found a fabulous vintage furniture shop! LeAnn is located in Seattle, this is great! Woohoo! Anybody in need of some swanky vintage furniture??
Share your love in secret under an umbrella just for two. If you’re looking for some fun photography ideas than grab an umbrella, put on your rain boots, and skip along hand in hand through the rain. What’s hotter than kissing your new husband/wife on your wedding day in the rain??? Be brave and put down the umbrella to get soaking wet!
Above photography is done by the fabulous Elizabeth Messina. I am utterly twitterpated over these photos! Click on the photo to see these beauties up close at Kiss The Groom’s Blog.
Thank you for stopping by my blog! If you are planning an event or wedding and you need tips or help, I would love to hear from you.
