Come Rain or Shine, We Wed

Outdoor weddings are gorgeous. You don’t need to spend on elaborate decorations since having nature as a backdrop is more than enough. The only thing to worry about is the weather.

Tents are usually first on the list under the contingency plan. That is if the desired date for the wedding would fall during rainy season or for some strange bad luck, a hurricane would hit. Not that we’re all hoping that the latter would happen, I guess, I’m simply citing possible scenarios wherein something wouldn’t go as originally planned. Best be prepared, right?

But with all that talk, I’m actually fascinated with this thing I came across earlier, a fantastic accessory that a bride can include especially for her bridesmaids — a parasol.

I had featured a traditional wedding garb a couple of posts ago. But since not everyone can actually go about to incorporating that particular wedding fashion but still interested to adapt something Japanese into the wedding, this parasol can be a nice touch.

Looking at the practical side of things, this piece of accessory can be quite useful for extra sunny days or even when it does begin to rain. Just make sure to get something that’s not made of paper, thick or otherwise. Definitely not a good idea getting the latter wet. But, like I said, it can simply be used as an accessory. It’s a fabulous detail that will make your wedding photos extra interesting. Your bridesmaids can keep it for personal use or souvenir after the wedding. It can also be a great wedding favor for your close friends and family.

Can you think of other out-of-the-ordinary wedding fashion accessories used in past weddings or perhaps you plan to use in your own?
