Wedding Parasols!!!

Keep you and your guests cool and add a touch of simple elegance to a wedding theme with beautiful parasols!

A beautiful parasol can make a great bridal accessory. Whether it is an alternative to a wedding bouquet or used for photographic effects, it is an interesting element to use at a beach wedding. Brides who want to use a parasol as a beach wedding accessory should choose one that reflects the tone of the wedding.

Although a theme unto itself, a wedding might also be Asian-inspired or island themed. Weddings held on the beach can be informal gatherings or elegant galas. Pick out a parasol that reflects the overall tone of your wedding. Consider your wedding dress design and wedding colors when picking out a parasol.

Try www.lunabazaar.com, my favorite site for parasols.

Wedding Favor and Escort Idea: FANS!

Being a South Florida Bride means making sure that if you are getting married outdoors that you ensure that you provide something to keep your guests cool before, during and after the ceremony and into the reception. Here are a few samples of how you can incorporate fans into your wedding decor. Cute fans can serve triple duty to cool your guests off at an outdoor ceremony or reception, be used to attach escort cards as well as serve as great wedding favors.
