The Chartreuse and Chocolate Brown ones are our wedding colors. They would be perfect for our wedding.
I would select either the pink or the cherry blossom parasol. In my wedding, I would probably use them in pictures (bridesmaids) or buy enough additional parasols to provide shade to our guests since our wedding is outside on Sarasota Bay!
I was just talking to my bridesamaids about these over the weekend. I would love to have them for wedding photos. I would pick them in the red and turqoise to match the wedding colors.
I would select either the pink parasol or the cream with the cherry blossom pattern. I’d use them in pictures, our venue is outside near the beach, they’d be perfect in pictures!
Yay, parasols! We are having a beach wedding on the Gulf of Mexico, and I would love parasols to shade my ‘maids from the sun, then use as reception decorations.
I would select the chartreuse and fuchsia parasols and use them in lots of pictures and for shielding myself from the sun during the ceremony!
I think these would be beautiful for pictures of the bridal party, and they would make AMAZING brides maids gifts (and how convienent I have 5 bridesmaids), I would choose the light blue butterfly, and maybe add some of the brown (my wedding colors)
Fuschia to go with chocolate brown bm dresses! These would be awesome outside our 19th century venue.
I would use the turquoise… it matches my bridesmaids’ dresses perfectly, AND I have five bridesmaids! It’s meant to bee!
Oh that would be so cool…I’d love turquoise and brown mixture…those are my wedding colors!
Cherry blossoms! We’d give them to our parents and grand parents when they walk down the aisle.
These would make a lovely event having the bridesmaids carry the parasols while posing for the photographer. I would like the chartreuse one.
I would pick the red ones. Our colors are chocolate brown and slutty red!
I like all the colors. If I were to get them for my wedding, I’d probably order a mix of the chartreuse, fuschia, mango, and red.
Oh I have been looking for brightly colored Parasols!
I have had to cut these out of my budget!! I love them. I’d use four brown for my four bridesmaids and one white for me… =) They are perfect for our Beach wedding!
oooh! I’d love to win! The red & mango would be PERRRFECT!
Ooh, I would get white for a fun, fresh look for our grannies and my MOH who will be 7 months preggers at the time of the wedding!
The mango ones would be soooo cute! Our wedding colors are aqua and mango.
I love the fuchsia which isn’t one of our colours, but it would look lovely anyway. I’d use one for photos, give one to my grandma to keep her out of the sun, one to my sister to shield my 3 month old nephew, and use the last two for our faux photo booth!
The light blue butterflies would match PERFECTLY with out decor. I will have 3 bridesmaids and an outdoor wedding so they would be perfect gifts. I could also give the last one to my mother…
White ones, for our black and white wedding! I would use them to shad my lovely bridesmaids from the sun (which I have five of - perfect). We’re in Seattle and contrary to popular belief, it does stop raining sometimes…and we’re getting married on the hottest weekend of the year!
The chocolate brown would perfectly match by BM dresses, and would be gorgeous (and quite practical) for our outdoor-in-Georgia-in-the-heat wedding! It would be nice to keep my girls and moms from melting in the sun…
I would choose the pink and fuschia for my 5 girls! We could definitely use them to shield us from the hot August sun and the colours would look awesome in pictures!
The fuschia one for sure as it’s our color. I wanted to get parasols for my girls but didn’t due to lack of funds, so I would love to win these for our pictures!
I would go with the turquoise and a white ones. I’d do 5 in turquoise that 4 of my BM and I would hold, adn then one white one for my MOH to hold!! Our wedding colors a blue! bright blues in lots of shades! Ocean blue and turquoise are the key colors (and BM dress colors.) Since the wedding is outdoors on a beach these beautiful parasols would work perfectly!! The turquoise and white would compliment the BM’s dress and mine, as well as the sugar white sand and the bright blue water that will be our backdrop!
the pink and brown for our wedding colors! I would definitely use them in our wedding photos since we will be outdoors in the hot sun, these will provide some shade so my gorgeous bridesmaids don’t get sunburned!! =D
i’m one of 5 bridesmaids in a pink and green outdoor wedding — the pink ones would be great for us to hold in pictures!
i would love to win the fushia or chartreuse one to take our wedding pictures with!
Brown with green and pink accents. I would use them for the bridal party pictures.
I would get the white ones to use for pictures and decoration at the reception.
I love all the colors… I’d pick 5 different colors.. for the 5 different personalities.. they would add color to my black and cream wedding colors…
cherry blossoms
I would pick either the sakura or pink parasoles~ they would be perfect for our outdoor wedding.
hi!! I would love to win this… anyhow even if I don’t, thanks for the link to Ideal Favors. I’ve been looking for a purple parasol to paint “thank you” onto (we’ll be using it in some photos for our thank you cards) What great timing you guys have!
Pink! for pictures!
Miss Teacup
cherry blossom!
The Lilac! The contrast would be perfect w/ the navy bridesmaid dresses and lavender bouquets.
Finger’s crossed!
oooh, i would use the fuschia, turquoise, and mango. they’re my colors!
I would use the Rust Orange Parasols. Pictures mean the world to me so I would love for my 7 BMs to hold them while we take some hot shots =)
There are so many pretty ones to choose from (still looking over them…green or yellow will work). I would like to use them in thank you photos with guests.
I would use a combo of the pink, chocolate brown and cherry blossom patterns, and would use them for pictures and maybe even decor!
I would choose the chartreuse and chocolate brown…
These are beautiful! I’d use the turquoise ones for my bridesmaids…or maybe my mom and MIL since they’ll be sitting in the sun through the ceremony! And definitely one cherry blossom one for me for pictures!
I would pick Chartreuse! Our colors are Chartreuse and Chocolate Brown.
Plus, I have 4 bridesladies and so each of them could have one and it would leave a bonus one for me! Yeah!
The cherry blossom one is so pretty! I’ve always wanted parasol pictures with the bridal party
Our colors are red and turquoise - but I think the white ones are clean and modern! They would be great for photos with the bridal party!
pink - and we’re getting married at noon in August, outside. ’nuff said.
Coincidentally, I just picked up cherry blossom rice paper lanterns, so these would match quite well. Plus, after living in New York, it is going to be quite an adjustment getting married in the Arizona sun!
I’m actually planning on getting parasols for our wedding! I would choose the green or cherry blossom ones. I thought they’d be a cool prop to use in the wedding photos with my bridesmaids.
The cherry blossom parasol would be perfect for my wedding theme. They would look great for our bridal party pictures!
fuschia or cherry blossom
3 plum, 2 lilac. Our bridesmaids will probably be wearing different colors, but having a plum sash and parasol would coordinate everything. The two lilac parasols would be for our moms.
i recently got a plain white one for the engagement pictures. i would love to get a few more red/red-ish ones for my bridesmaids and mothers for an awesome photo op.
I would carry a white one, and have my bridesmaids carry the red ones. They look so wonderful in photos!
it would be mango and lime for me. maybe i would ask my maid of honor to hold one for me, so that my makuep won’t melt during our outdoor ceremony. 
otherwise, definitely for pictures.
white ones would be perfect for protecting my bridesmaids from the powerful may kentucky sun!
I’d go with one white, one brown, one lilac, one plum and one chartreuse. I love the bright multicolored look. My bridesmaids and I would use them to protect ourselves from what will surely be some hellacious weather at the end of July and of course for some super sweet photos!
i would choose the pink or white ones, and give them to the mothers, grandmothers, and one great grandmother in attendance to keep them in the shade during the ceremony and to allow themselves some distinction as important women to us
Oooh! The fushcia would be perfect for my bridesmaids! These would add that great pop of color to my wedding!
I would choose the chartreuse and white parasols (and attempt to put our monogram on them!) and use them for fantastic photo opps!
Chocolate or Mango please….(those sound like a great dessert too)…we’d have fantastic bp pics!!!
Definitely the white ones. They would make for some really fun shots with the bridal party the Chicago skyline in the background!
I like the butterfly one. I would use them for my 4 bridesmaids plus myself They’re so pretty!
I would love some red ones for my bridesmaids and me. Awesome photo ops!
I would love to get white ones for the elderly members of our group as we are getting married outside in August and I’m very afraid it will be too warm for a few of them.
I would select the Mango and Fuschia!
I’d love the white ones, do go with our black, white, origami themed wedding
Chartreuse is one of my wedding colors along with chocolate brown, chartreuse would be ideal if I had to choose one. They would be great for the bridesmaids since the wedding will be held outside.
I love these!! I ordered some off of ebay and was devistated when they arrived after spending a ton of money that looked awful. They actually look so bad everyone has told me not to use them. I would love to have these in Pink or white!!!
The mango ones would look great with my bridesmaids dresses, which are orange ombre (yellow to burnt orange)
I would choose the white parasols and use them as decor, hanging upside down from the ceiling!
Cherry blossom would be perfect for my asian ceremony!
Mango for me! Such a cheerful color for my wonderful outdoor late summer wedding. It will go great with the navy dresses my maids plan on wearing.
I think I would pick turquoise and maybe green, too. It’s hard to choose!
Alright, I think I am going to be the only guy to comment on here, but my fiance would go nuts if I surprised her with these on our wedding day. She always shows me other weddings that use them in their pictures, and I don’t give it much thought, but if I brought them to her and her bridesmaids on our big day, she would know that I really am listening and appreciate all of her thought on every little detail that has gone into our wedding. Plus, she left this webpage up when she left to run errands this morning (maybe a hint to me?). I think she would pick either the white or cherry blossom ones, but I would have to go with the cherry blossom.
Oooh, Oooh, Pick me! I’d want them in pink because they would match my bridesmaids dresses perfectly!
I would so love these. I would pick the rice paper butterfly ones for the girls since they all have dark purple on and blue is the accent color. Then I would pick the plum colored for me, so that I can accent their dresses! Oh these would be awesome to win!
My theme is going to be centered around cherry blossoms, lily of the valley, and green orchids with a lot of other Asian themed decor. There will be flowers everywhere, but when it comes time to take the photographs, I want more of the Asian theme to stick out, and the chartreuse parasols for my girls would be perfect!
i think i’d go with the chartreuse which would look pretty with the plum bridesmaid dresses!
OMG! Our wedding is in a Japanese Garden (we met in Tokyo) and we’re having the bridesmaids walk down the aisle (and over the Koi pond) with them! And we have 5 bridesmaids!
We love the white ones, they would go PERFECTLY with our theme and scheme of indigo, copper, gray and white. The ladies will be in dark indigo blue, and these would really pop.
I would hang orange and green parasols upside down on the ceiling of our dance floor, along with the paper lanterns that I bought!
i would hang them upside down, at different heights, from the ceiling of the dance floor. i’d use the white ones and add led lights. i think it would look amazing!!!
I love the chocolate brown and chartreuse! They would match so perfectly with our location… an old Southern plantation on the river. So cute!
My wedding will be an autumn theme so the mango or the red parasols will be perfect! I’d carry one as will my four other bridesmaids.
mange and red - same as elaine! so cute!
White w/ pink cherry blossoms for pictures!
Cherry blossom for sure! To keep our guests cool during a summer wedding!
I would go for chocolate brown. I have 4 BMs and myself, so 5 parasols would be perfect!
These are amazing!! I love the chartreuse!
I would have to choose pink so it would match my wedding colors. The shade of pink is perfect!
lilac and cherry blossom…oh I would use them in photos of course and to block the sun!
fuschia and lime for our bridal party photos!
Love love love the chartreuse, turquoise, and pink. I’d use them for fun photos with my girls
I would use all fuchsia for my girls. The pink would be a fun pop against their red dresses.
I would defiantly use the plum colored parasols. My girls are wearing black dresses and the color would pop like crazy! Just think about how great that would look in our photos!
I’ve got to go with white - cool and classic, and should coordinate with whatever color scheme I end up selecting. I’d use them for fun photo opportunities and maybe even for some decoration at the reception.
chartreuse and chocolate–our wedidng colors… I would give them to the few older folks - grandma, older aunts–who are more senitice about being out is the sun…it will also be like a little acknowledgement that they are special!
The plum and fuchsia ones would be perfect for me. I’m planning on using them as ceremony decor for our guests if it gets too hot in the sun and then for reception decor.
This would be perfect for me! My fiance is Chinese, so I plan on purchasing some parasols to use in pictures. We’re trying to incorporate various Chinese touches into the reception. Since red is a lucky color, I would get 3 red ones (one for myself and one for each of my 2 bridesmaids). The girls are wearing black dresses - black and red will look great in photos! For a fun pattern in pictures, I would get the butterfly and the cherry blossom parasols.
Oooh! I love me some mango! I’d use them to shield our grandparents from the hot summer sun on July 12! We’re getting married outside in a Southern California park and need all the additional shade we can get. Hotsy totsy!
I would choose the chartruse and fuscia or pink (our wedding colors). And I’m definitely going to need some of these for my outdoor August wedding in southern ca.
sigh. so hot.
the plum!!! these would be perfect to shade my bridesmaids!
I like the 32″ Colored Rice Paper Parasols in Turquoise. I would give these to my bridesmaids for some fun pictures. It matches my wedding colors perfectly.
I would choose either the orange or the blue butterfly patterned one. I would give the parasols to my five bridesmaids who could use the shade as our wedding will be in a Texas garden in May. I think they would look great in photos!
I would totally do the pink for all 5 of my bridesmaids. We’re getting married outside in August and I love the idea of them walking down the aisle with parasols instead of bouquets.
When you select me as the winner, I will select the white parasols…i <3 white parasols…they will look beautiful in my wedding pictures with my bridesmaids.
It’s hard to decide…it’s between the chartreuse, red, & turquoise. I love the way parasols look in photographs. I like meli’s idea of using them instead of bouquets.
I would choose white for my BM’s as a gift! I would love to use them in photographs but considering that the last 3 years it has rained on our wedding date so maybe they will be more functional… oops.
I would pick the Chartreuse ones… an EXACT match of the green we want… what to include them for.. EVERYTHING! pictures, decorations, fight off the sunburn… you name it
Purple, definitely, and I would make them available as shade on the porch outside our reception hall!
I would use the red ones b/c I’m doing a black and white and red wedding. I would use these in the pictures!!!
The chartreuse ones are great! That is one of our wedding colors. I would use them in pictures…taking some fun, zany ones…pops of color!
red would be perfect for our photos!
I would go for either the simple white one or the chartreuse! I would use the parasol to shade myself when I take my pictures, because the wedding is in a month and it is hot, hot, hot. Gotta protect myself from skin cancer!
I would choose white for my beach wedding and provide them to the guests for shade.
i would love the red with white flower pattern one, because i’m thinking in matching red and white to put more passion in my wedding!!!
Lilac to compliment our chocolate & lavender theme. I would also order 2 more: a white one and a lavender one for myself and the 6th bridesmaid. We could shade ourselves from the 90 degree sun, use them for photos, and as decor for the reception.
After discussing with my fiance, we thought that we would do a synchronized parasol performance during the ceremony, where people raise and lower them at different points along with the music to create a choreographed parasol show. We’d use the dark brown ones and white, to match the fall ceremony that we are planning. Beautiful products!
i’d like the white and light blue one, cause i think it goes with the ocasion i am trying to make it see!! all angelical!!
Fuschia Fuschia Fushia! Perfect for a bridesmaid photo-op
Fuchsia and Green are our wedding colors but I love the butterfly and cherry blossom! Totally would use them for AWESOME pictures and for my FIs mom since our ceremony is outside and she is very sun sensitive.
Oh my gosh I was just looking into this idea today! I was thinking about buying the lilac and chartreuse parasols as these match our wedding colors. It would be fantastic to win these!
all white would be beautiful, vintage, and very elegant. they would make great props for photos and to give to the moms and maids when it’s sunny out.
We’re getting married in Greece so these would be the perfect accessory for shielding the sweltering sun!! I love the classic white. I’d totally DIY a ‘thank you” on of the umbrellas for some cute photos too!
fushia and chartreuse
Chartreus would be the color for me…
Definitely the fuscia color - it matches the flowers in the location where we are getting married and the parasols would be perfect to keep the guests out of the hot sun (we’re getting married in Guatemala)!
The Red ones! The female members of the bridal party would hold them for some really exciting and fun pictures!
I would pick the white ones and give them out at our outdoor ceremony to shade the older guests from the sun!
I’ll be taking pictures prewedding in the afternoon in a garden and I will definitely be using a white parasol since it will be hot, bright, and I have very fair skin. Plus it will make for some fantastically cute pictures =)
i LOVE the red ones!
I would pick turquoise for our guests. I think it would make for a great overhead shot on the beach.
i would use the blue patterned parasols for my bridesmaids to hid from cameras when their smiles get tired.
I would definitely pick the Chartreuse b/c that is one of our wedding colors and would use them for my bridesmaids for when they are walking down the aisle at our beach ceremony to shade the sun from their lovely faces
palease pick me! I am in need of some parasols for my bridesmaids. I don’t know what i was thinking planning my wedding in august….the hottest month!
the turquoise is beautiful! i’d use them as bridesmaids gifts… and they can use them for bridal party pictures too!
Ulala! I would love the pink (top-left) or the green (bottom-right). I would love them for my bridesmaids, I have 5. We would use them for our pictures. They would look so beautiful.
ooh, pink to hand out to our guests. We’re getting married on a farm next July and will need some help with shade!
Pink please. For the bridesmaids in our pictures.
I love the mango and fuschia umbrellas. We’re getting married outside and these would be perfect for some of our older guests.
How perfect!!! We’re getting married in the Dominican where the sun will be beating down on us all day! I would have my bridesmaids carry Turquoise parasols to contrast with their purple dresses, and I would carry a Plum parasol. It would look especially divine for the beach pictures. The very thought of it makes me excited! I do hope I win but if not, I think I just might order me some parasols.
I would love the white parasols. I need them to block us from the sun for wedding photos this August in Tucson!
I would get the white ones and use them to take pictures with my bridesmaids
Definitely red and white, since they go with my colors and would look SO cute in my pictures.
Oops… how do I undo the email to this thread?? Sorry…
chartreuse, chocolate brown, and mango are our wedding colors. We’d definitely give these out to our wedding party for pictures!
I love the cherry blossom one. I have a cherry blossom tattoo that I used on all of our wedding stationary and on our cake. It would be amazing to use the parasols when we take our pictures on the beach with me, the FH, and the wedding party!
The fuchsia ones go with the bridesmaid dresses and I would use them for pictures!
pink and turquise would be perfect for my wedding!!!
I like the fuschia and mango ones, since those are our wedding colors! Since our wedding is outdoors in Florida in May, I’d give them to guests who needed shade.
we’re having an outdoor ceremony in August, so hopefully the parasols will help shade the guests on a beautiful sunny day. 
pink and turqouise would be perfect for my wedding!!!
I choose the chartreuse and fuscia! These would be fantastic for our outdoor ceremony and would look amazing in the photos!!
love them!
love the chocolate and cherry blossoms….they would be great accents in our cocktail hour area
The fuschia and light pink would be perfect for our guests to shade themselves during the ceremony!
The lilac or plum would look great with my bridesmaids dresses, but I have this strange affinity for cherry blossom anything…guess that comes with the territory working for Bath & Body Works. I’d use them for the special ladies who aren’t in the wedding party.
I would use the white ones (boring, I know) and give them to elderly relatives/guests - they’d need them most.
I’d use the pink parasols for my bridesmaids. They would match their dresses perfectly!
white for me, pink for the girls!!
I’d select the chartreuse, fuschia, and aqua- because they are our wedding colors. I would hang these above the dance floor in our tent with some paper lanterns.
I’d choose pink and give them to our parents and grandparents to use since the wedding is outdoors.
The red and cherry blossom would be perfect. I would wrap them in white Christmas lights and hang them from the ceiling of our tent as decoration.
Turquoise ones to match our wedding colors. They’d look magnificent in my bridesmaid’s hands as they pose for pictures for our destination wedding in Aruba…!!
Loving the blue pattern one but I’d have to choose fuchsia for the burst of color. I would use them any way I could… for guests, for pics, as decor…
Chartreuse and Turquoise are my wedding colors. They would look fabulous for me and my bridesmaids on our photo session outdoor. We’re having a July wedding and it would be hot and sunny outside, so this is PERFECT!
I would use red to go with the rest of the wedding. I am getting married at my parents’ house, and it is going to be HOT in San Jose in September. I’d give them to the family and bridal party, to keep them shaded, and to help the photography know who to capture more pictures of. My grandma would look really cute with a parasol!
Turquoise: I’d give them to my sisters (bridesmaids), and they would go with my Japanese-Jewish wedding.
I think the cherry blossoms would look darling. Not too overwhelming - it would add a certain Je-ne-sais-quoi to the wedding. I think the “older” women (relatives) would look good.
The plum colored parasols would be perfect, I’d hand them to the bridesmaids for the ceremony.
I think the chocolate ones are lovely.
I love the white, pink, and chocolate, oh my.
I love the green one as it is our wedding colors, and would use them to shade our grandparents as they can’t stay in the sun anymore.
I would use these in photos for the bridesmaids!!! Either white or chartreuse!!!
Ooooooooh! The hot pink ones for me to complement the girls green dresses! I would definitely give them to my girls to use while taking photos outside in the August Sun!
The chartreuse ones would be perfect! I’m having a black and white wedding with chartreuse accents. We’re having a garden ceremony, a Chinese tea ceremony at the venue and will end up inside the heritage mansion for dinner. I was thinking it’d be nice to bring a little more of my heritage into the day and having the 3 moms walk down the aisle with the parasols would be nice.
The cherry blossom would match my pink and brown colors, and the shade would help my bridesmaids and me a lot since I’m getting married in the tropics!
definitely the blue pattern. i have 5 bridesmaids wearing blue and i’m worried that they will get too much sun during my august outdoor wedding! these would be great for sun protection and also be so cute in pictures!
I adore the blue and white one with the butterflies. It would go perfectly as an accessory for our wedding in August. Here in Southern Indiana it gets hots and muggy, the parasols would be a perect way to help deflect and protect my girls’ from the bright suns rays.
Chartreuse for sho… really need that splash of color against the neutral bridesmaid dresses!
Brown, Chartreuse, and white would be a great combo as those are our colors for our wedding in August. Not only will we use them in pictures but give them to the moms to keep cool during our outdoor ceremony.
The Plum parasols would be perfect for our wedding.
I would use white ones in our August wedding. Our bridesmaids would love them!
These are GORGEOUS! I would choose the pink parasols b/c my colors are black with pink accents. These would look so great in pictures for my May wedding in Atlanta - they’re so “southern elegance”!
We’re having an outdoor end of May wedding in MD, when the sun can be hot. I’d give the white parasols to my 5 bridesmaids to use all day and in our pictures and think about having some in a different color to keep guests cool too.
I love the turquoise and white parasols! I want to use these at my beach ceremony to protect our sun-sensitive guests from the harmful rays…my grandma has skin cancer and needs to hide from the sun! Fun photo-op too!
Could I get four pink and one white? These would be perfect for pics with me and the maids
Chartreuse so matches our lanterns and colors!!! OH PLEASE PICK ME!
Oh, I would have to go with 2 chartreuse, 2 turquoise, & 1 white one- those are out wedding colours!
I’d probably get the blue and white butterfly ones, and have my 5 bridesmaids carry them in lieu of flowers.
Or two pink ones, and let my flower girls carry them. That would look so adorable!
Love the cherry blossom parasols! This post has reminded me…I needed to get some parasols for the wedding!
I would get half plum and half lavendar to use to shade our elderly guests from the sun at our outdoor ceremony!
I would pick the cherry blossom parasol for my cousin’s wedding. Parasols are amazing props for pictures!
the Chartreuse and White would go perfectly with my wedding colors!
The red and white would be perfect for our outdoor farmers’ market wedding! I would use three of them in pictures and the other two would be given to our mothers.
i absolutely love parasols especially the cherry blossom. I am the second oldest and first to get married out of my 6 sisters. I would love to use the parasols for all my sisters behind me since they have always been there for me and would look so sentimental to me :)!!
I would pick the pink and ivory ones for my wedding, to use for photos!
i like the patterns, butterfly & cherry blossom
I would use either the turquoise or blue and white butterfly pattern to shield the sun for my guests during the ceremony. We are marrying on the island of St. Thomas, USVI, and fingers crossed there will be lots of sunshine!
Pink for my bridesmaids. If I win this then I only have to buy 1 since I have 6 bridesmaids =)
i would love the fushcia and chartreuse! awesome!!! I would use them for pictures. i have 5 bridesmaids, so they can each carry one during the ceremony! my other thought would be hanging them from above over the cocktail site. that would be beautiful and add a great splash of color!
I would use them for my bridesmaids in yummy CHOCOLATE BROWN
I would pick the red parasols because they go with my colour theme and I’m planning to use them during the ceremony as well as in pictures afterwards!
I would use them for my two moms and choose red.
I love me some pretty parasols.
I was already scouting sites to order them from. The umbrellas in chartreuse and one in white for the bride would be perfect for the orchard pictures we have planned for before the wedding with my girls!
I love the fuchsia and cherry blossom and use them to take pictures with.
Chartreuse would look so great in the pictures with my bridesmaid’s navy dresses!
Turquoise and brown are the colors for our wedding (or at least close enough), but I adore the fuscia! They would be smashing against the white gazebo for the ceremony and provide perfect pops of color during our outdoor non-tented reception (fingers *and* toes crossed for that one!).
I feel lucky!
I would pick the mango parasols, and take cute pictures with my 4 bridesmaids with them!
First, I am a budgetbride…..
I love the pink parasols! I would use them as an alternative to bouquets. I probably will have each bridemaid walk down the aisle with them and give them a small floral arrangement for their wrist instead of a costly bouquet!
oh my! i love all the colors!i’d pick the pink ones and cherry blossom to jazz-up our wedding photos!
Red. I would use them for our bridal party pictures at the park.
I would want the fuchsia ones, because they bring that same brightness that I picked bougainvilleas for accent flowers!
i am intending to have several rice paper parasols on hand…one for the sole purpose of helping to shade my 99 year old grandmother who is making her way to montana for my wedding! gotta love her!
oops…i’d pick green!
the cherry blossom parasol. for picture taking!=)
the green parasol is my favorite
red… and yes, we would totally use them in our wedding!!!
I would pick pink and fuschia. I would use them as table decorations for the cake table, guest book table, and the gift table. Small wedding-I only need 5.
4 turquoise and 1 pink or cherry blossom for my 4 girls and me. Our colors are turquoise and brown with pink as an accent, *and* we’re having an outdoor wedding, so this would be perfect for us for pictures or the receiving line, etc.
I would be boring and get white, just b/c they are so CLASSIC!!!
Aloha,
I’m getting married on the beach in Maui this October. I’ve always loved the vibrant combination of red and orange together so I chose them for my wedding colors. The red and orange parasols would be a great way to shade my guests from the sun while creating a stylish ceremony; they make great photo opportunities, including writing Mahalo on one of them to use for thank you cards; and they would a perfect asset to the decor of my reception which is at an open air restaurant with bamboo interior.
Mahalo!
Diane
chartreuse and chocolate brown are our colors! They would look great in a photo–op with the girls… or hanging around the cake table… so cute!
I really want one!
Whoops,
I meant to say mango instead of orange!
i love the white and turquoise ones would be great for our outdoor ceremony for the guests to use if it is sunny out and they would definitely be used in pictures!
I would pick a chartreuse one for myself, and fuchia for my 4 bridesmaids! Our colors are pink and green, and I would pick a fuchia for myself, but I have red hair so I’m not sure how the colors would work together!
OOOH! I’d pick white for me, and pink for my four bridesmaids, they are adorable and would be so cute for pictures!
I am in LOVE with these parasols: Although I’d have to use them to play dress up with some lil girls at tea parties, if that’s ok.
I would use either the red (to go with the red tips in my hair) or the plum (to go with my dress) as the base of the flowered parasol my florist is designing for me!
Love the chocolate and cherry blossom ones!
plum or fuschia for me (to coordinate with bridesmaids) and then white for them, or the cherry blossom. So hard to pick!
Chartreuse! My favorite color! I would let some of the guests use them during the ceremony (outside) and then use them for pictures!!
for a simplistic look the white ones to go along with the lanterns at the outdoors reception. and probably in a couple of pictures too!
I’d go with chartreuse and would give them either to special guests (grandparents) or random guests to shade themselves during the ceremony. then i would steal them back for photos!
Definitely the pink parasols! They would be a lovely asset to my wedding colors, be great for photo opportunities, and add a touch of whimsy to the overall look of the day.
White white white! Our colors are white - of course - with just a little bit of green. So fresh for the summer!
RED & WHITE!! For the flower girls to take pictures and everyone to follow our tea ceremonies!
I would choose mango and fuchsia as those are my wedding colors. I would use them for my maids in the bridal party photos.
pink would go perfectly with my bridesmaid’s dresses for photos
I would love for my bridesmaids to have parasols. I think either the white or the cherry blossom pattern as their dresses are green.
I would love the Mango-colored ones. Orange is my fav color, and these parasols would add a whole new fun diemsion to our photos (on the beach!)
I would want the lilac ones since my colors are lavender and lemon. Since I’m planning on an outdoor ceremony, these will be great for keeping the sun off of people.
These would be so great for my outdoor affair! I would pick the butterfly design because I am doing a butterfly release after my ceremony.
White. So clean and crisp. Perfect for elderly guests while outside.
I would definitely want the purple or the cherry blossom parasols for my wedding. I would hang each one from the ceiling (upside down) and place crystal raindrop adornments from the rim.
fuschia, since that’s one of our colors - and matches my shoes! I’m planning to have my BMs carry parasols instead of bouquets, so this would be perfect!
I would pick the cherry blossom parasol. My fiance proposed in the Japanese Tea Garden so cherry blossoms hold a special place in my heart. The parasols would be a great accent to bridal portraits outdoors.
Love the chartreuse ones — they’d be great with our colors.
I would pick the cherry blossom parasol since pink is my color, & cherry blossom is my “theme” for my asian wedding here in Hawaii!
I personally love the pink parasols … but there are so many great colors that would fit with any color scheme.
I would use them to decorate the bridal shower!
I would chose the lilac and plum. They’re the colors of our wedding & would make killer pictures. We’re getting married out in the woods (literally) & they would be perfect!!
The pink cherry blossom parasols go perfectly with my wedding theme and colors!
[...] have until 8pm PST Friday to enter. And you can still enter yesterday’s Ideal Favors Parasol Giveaway. Good luck! [...]
I love the lilac! These would look so great for bridal party pictures!
I’d go with the Butterfly. I have a blue and whit theme, plus I LOVE butterflies!
Oh, wow! I would select the butterfly pattern, or the white. Or the chartreuse. lol. Ok I kind of like them all. I would use them for my three bridesmaids and our two elderly grandmothers to have during the ceremony to shade themselves!
I would choose the light pink, and I think they would make amazing bridal party pictures!
I would choose brown, mango, and chartreuse. I would either have my wedding party process with them or let guests use them for shade during the ceremony. Or use them to line the aisle… so many options!
The chocolate brown ones would be fab for our outdoor cocktail hour!
I would go with the brown, since we’re hoping to have the event near Mt. Rainier and I don’t want anything brighter than the trees.
I would stick with the white! Very cute.
The chartreuse and mango parasols would be so perfect to keep my bridesmaids cool during our outdoor summer ceremony!!
I love the mango and fushia, that reflect our colors!! I would have them available for the few older guests we are inviting for our outdoor ceremony.
The cherry blossom one would be perfect for my bridesmaids! It would be perfect with the ao dais (traditional Vietnamese dress) that they will be wearing!
I would want to use the chartreuse ones for my bridesmaids and have a white one for myself…I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate green accents into my wedding…this would be perfect for the ceremony and the pictures:)
I am totally going with the parasols. I was going to order 1 white one for me (the bride) and chartreuse for the other 3 bridesmaids. These would be perfect for photo shots! This would also help with loosening up my BMs for great..cute pictures! Even the GMs would get a chance with them! LETS ALL HAVE FUN!
I would pick red and orange parasols and give them to some of the guests for shelter from the Colorado sun! And probably also use them for photos beforehand.
I would get the orange and blue unbrellas and give them to the women in the family and take some very colorful group photos!
i would pick the fuschia and pink ones and offer them as shade to my outdoor garden ceremony guests.
I would get the red and cherry blossom ones and have them available for use during our ceremony, which is outside in the summer!
i would pick up the plum colors for bridesmaids to use for pictures =)
Yes please… for the luv of parasols! Turquoise & blue butterfly. =)
The light pink would be my pick! I would use them for shade for our outdoor wedding and also for bridesmaid pics! They would look so cute with Black and Pink Bridesmaid dresses!
Haveing a garden Reception in late spring and Cherry Blossoms parsol would be excellent for our guests.
I LOVE the butterfly, and since our wedding colors are turquoise and red (the tip is covered in red), it would work perfectly!!
I would use the lilac and plum! They would be gorgeous accessories to my BMs dresses in pictures. And, of course, a nice shade for my guests from the sun during the ceremony!
I love the turquoise and white colors. I might find a way to hang them around the ceremony site.
I would use the chartreuse and white for the bridal party…i am in love with pictures with parasols!
Plum. I want to use them as props in our wedding photos!
I would choose pink since our colors our pink and green. I would use them for our photos and possibly the wedding ceremony since we are getting married in Hawaii!
sooo pretty! I would choose a mix of turquoise and “butterfly” to match our wedding colours, and would give them to my bridesmaids and my Mom, FMIL, and Grammy. They’d be soo cute for photos in the garden on my grandparents’ farm!
We are getting married outdoors on 160 acres in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The reception area has a beautiful view, so we’re not using any tents (please, no thunderstorms!).
We are using summer fruit (nectarine/peaches) as the centerpieces of our tables, and round rice paper lanterns to give soft and beautiful light for our guests. To soften the light even more and accent the beautiful centerpieces, I would use the red parasols, hung from the cables suspending the lanterns to give a soft warm glow to the tables below.
I’d go with chartreuse, to set off Team Bride’s dresses. Or fuchsia, since the ‘maids and I look better when pink’s reflected on our faces.
I love the aqua! They would match my bridesmaids’ dresses perfectly. I’d use them in pro photos.
I adore the cherry blossom ones. They would match our colours perfectly and are perfect to give to elderly or ill guests (several of my guests are in cancer remission at present) on the walk from the ceremony to the reception site. Its about 1km and in the hot summer sun…
i’d like the simple white ones for outdoor pictures with the girls
Im torn between the red and the cherry blossoms! My wedding ceremony will be outdoors, so these would be perfect!! and the pictures would look awesome too.
white for pictures =)
love white for outdoor wedding
Definately the chocolate brown, and they’d be used in the photography… i never even thought of parasols, and so if I win, Ill have to buy 2 more to give everyone in the bridal party one!!
I would pick the cherry blossoms pattern to match my cherry blossom tree display!
Orange and Chartreuse are two of our wedding colors. The brown is nice too because it would add some earthiness to the brightness.
I would get three of the Chartreuse and 2 white to use in wedding pictures.
I’d take one of the white ones and either paint “Just Married” on it or a monogram of our last name in the Chartreuse color.
I like the blue parasol with butterfly pattern. Since I am planning to have a parasol for our post wedding pictorial, this will go well with our butterfly themed wedding and blue motif.
I love the plum or lilac. We’d use them as photo props, or to shade the moms and grandmas during the ceremony. Maybe both.
definitely turquoise
We are setting up a lounge with white sofas underneath a large poplar tree at our outdoor wedding and I am imagining the pink and fuchsia parasols hanging from the branches of the tree, a whimsical mirror image of the pink & fuchsia dahlia centerpieces on the tables below.
We are getting married under a gorgeous tree in our backyard - I would hang simple white parasols upside down from the branches.
I would use the white ones in our wedding pictures with my bridesmaids. They’re adorable and perfect for an outdoor wedding!
oh gosh! I’m in the process of looking for them! I would love white ones with some flowers on it! Definitely provided to the guests during the ceremony and pictures!
I would use the Butterfly patterned ones for my outside garden wedding
I would LOVE the pink ones for my wedding photos. I just love the color pink but I’m not incorporating it into our wedding colors. This would be a perfect way to bring in my favorite color into the wedding!
These would be perfect for the photoshoot.
I would get fuchsia or pink and give them to my five bridesmaids for favors to keep.
I’ve been looking into getting 5 white ones for my 5 bridesmaids for our beach wedding. This would be perfect!
I have already planned to have my four ladies carry white parasols and favor my female guests with all different colors (talk about instant decoration!). What a bonus it would be to get them for free! Thanks for running this contest! My outdoor wedding will thank you (as will my shaded guests)! :0)
I would pick pink, chocolate, and white. I would give them to my guests for the ceremony. It may be warm since it will be outdoors.
I like the butterfly ones.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE FUSCHIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would completely be in love if I won Fuschia ones..Our colors are fuschia and Chocolate brown… I think it would look so movie star like.. And we are having our wedding at an old movie theater….from the 5o’s IT would be so amazing to take movie star photos on the mezzanine!!!!!!!!!!!!
ohh how amazing!!!! that would be
I would love to have the parasols. They would look great with my Asian-themed wedding. I think anything to accentuate my Asian traditions would be a plus not only to my ancestors, but would help others unfamilar with the culture learn to appreciate it.
Burnt orange. i would use them in place of fresh flower bouqets for my bridemaids-its a garden wedding with a summer theme. im trying to be different hey!
I would select the turquoise or white ones. We are having a vintage wedding black and white with turquoise accents. I would love to have these at our wedding : )
Burnt Orange- I only need 6 of them for the bridesmaids. I am planning on writing their names on them as a thank you gift.
Hi I will be having a small wedding on the beach in Hawaii - therefore would love to have the parasols please for my family in either cherry blossom, brown or chartreuse. Thank you!
