Thursday's Obsession: Parasols

I'm currently working with a bride who is looking for alternatives to her bridesmaids walking down the aisle with flowers as a way to curve her floral & design budget. So I got to researching some cost-effective and creative ways for her outdoor wedding.

The Choice:
PAPER PARASOLS
I realized parasols can be such a beautiful detail for any wedding and/or event.  They come in a multitude of colors, and in different sizes.  At weddings, specifically outdoor weddings, parasols can be given as wedding favors to your guest and come in handy for needing to shield the sun's heat. Believe me your family and friends will be thanking you for such consideration. Another way parasols can be used, is by having your bridesmaids carry them as they walk down the aisle, either open or closed.  It truly is a beautiful touch.

Other creative ways parasols can be used:  as unique centerpieces for your tablescapes,  great prop for engagement and wedding photo sessions, can be used literally at bridal/baby showers and as a decor item (like aligning down your wedding aisle with your coordinating colors).

ENJOY THE VIEW!
