I have been toying with the idea of having parasols for myself and my bridesmaids at our Rome wedding this Summer. While we are getting married indoors and we’re hosting our dinner reception indoors we are having a drinks reception outside before the meal where hopefully the sun will still be shining and no doubt it will be very warm! I wasn’t sure if it would look too fussy but as soon as I saw this image from the BHLDN website my mind was made up, and now the search is on for the perfect parasols to keep us cool in the Roman sunshine…

What could make you feel more refined than standing in your bridal gown shading from the summer sun under a vintage parasol and sipping Champagne, so whimsical and romantic!
It might be a nice idea to gift parasols to your bridesmaids or guests with this poem attached… The Parasol is the Umbrella’s Daughter by Emily Dickinson:
The parasol is the umbrella’s daughter,
And associates with a fan
While her father abuts the tempest
And abridges the rain.
The former assists a siren
In her serene display;
But her father is borne and honored,
And borrowed to this day
Find your perfect Parasol…
