Parasol Umbrellas

Right now, the Knot shop has a sale on them. There's also a Spring discount code on the pages. I just went looking for some myself. The other good deal is on Orientaltrading.com. They have a set of 12 that you can paint yourself.

I love parasols! I ordered some and painted the word Love - one letter on each parasol and the photos were amazing!

Otherwise www.orientaltrading.com is great - you can add your own designs. Good luck!

I found my on amazon.com. They had some plain and some with designs.

Hobby Lobby carries them in a bunch of colors for $5.99 each.

The cheapest I've found is orientaltrading.com but they're all white and smaller. Orientalltrading had lots of reviews of receiving torn parasols but had no problem exchanging them. The knot shop has them for $4.99 each and for orders over $50, you get $10 off. I am ordering 20 and with shipping, it's $5.23 each which is still decent. Oh, and they're good sized.. 33in.

I believe that you can find the umbrella you like at amazon.com - from my point, Battenburg lace parasols are really nice. I also heard that it's possible to rent those umbrellas (as probably you won't need such a stuff after wedding). There're some more details regarding old fashion umbrellas and parasols at vintage umbrellas - review of different parasol types (classic Victorian and Asian), how to choose original vintage items etc. E.g. I learnt that it's possible to find even a waterproof parasol
