Summer Wedding Fun – The Parasol

In the world of weddings, like everywhere else, things go in and out of style. Some things, like sticking to the old adage, “Something borrowed, something blue…” always stay the same, but other things, like dress styles, decor trends, and food choices change as often as do other fashions. 

A summer addition to weddings that can be trendy is the parasol. There are ornate decorated umbrellas with 8 foot handles used to line aisles, mini-parasols planted in trees with lights behind them, and, of course, they can also be used as favors. Or you know, you could use them for the things that umbrellas and parasols are usually used for, keeping the rain and sun off. Unlike so many favors and decorations, they can be useful, and actually used again.
