I am not a creative person by nature. My creativity is limited to the kitchen! I can whip up a pretty tasty meal with whatever I have in the fridge and pantry. I guess that's why baking is more of a challenge. Although I enjoy it just as much, it requires more precision. Anyway, when it comes to the wedding, I'm one of those brides that looks around for hours and hours on the web and at other bride's blogs in order to get inspirations and ideas. Needless to say I spend waaaaay to much time online!
So on one of my searches I came across photos like these ones:
I love how the parasols look! I totally want pictures like that! So I went ahead and bought some! I found these beauties at Save On Crafts.
I bought three in this aqua color and will be purchasing some white or cream ones as well! Can't wait to use them! Are you using any props for your photos?

I LOVE those purple parasols! We’ll probably use at least a couple for our photos, and might toss some flower petals around, too. I think it’s such a fun idea.
Love those parasols! You reminded me, I keep meaning to hop over to Chinatown and see if I can score some on the cheap. Your pictures are going to be so beautiful!
the umbrellas are such a fun idea!!!
I think this is a great idea!! And not just for a wedding -- engagement photos with an umbrella would be so lovely (Is it wrong that I just want to take TONS of different engagement photos? I do first have to actually get engaged, but I'm working on that).
I love parasols in photos too! I think they just make such great shots. I love the aqua ones, good choice!!!! BTW I spend way too much time online researching wedding stuff too!
Those will be so cute in your pictures! I love the look, and you can do so many different poses with them!
I think the umbrellas are a great idea, especially if you mix up the colors a bit. :)
I absolutely LOVE this look. It is absolutely gorgeous and elegant! Beautiful!
They are going to look SO good! The colour you picked is wonderful.
Mr B & I are going to have a photo with love heart glasses - it's our goofy thing!
Ooo! that aqua color is stunning !! love it
I like this idea! Although with my wedding in March I will probably need REAL umbrellas.

These are great... I wish I'd done them for my wedding. My pictures were not all I'd hoped for. You are so smart to do research!

Those are all so wonderful!!! Love the idea!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE parasols. I am definitely going to have one because I love the whole "Thank You" written on the parasol thing and then we can use them for thank you notes. (I'll just photoshop it on after the fact.)
Those pics are all so great!
I was the same way - everything we did for our wedding, I saw on other blogs! I love the color of umbrellas you purchased!
that is soooo cute.
Oh my gosh I love this idea!!!!!!!!
I thought I had commented on this? Perhaps over on BB? :) Anyway, love them! I also got some light blue ones for my girls as gifts to use in our photos..even found a smaller version for the flower girl :) Got mine through Luna Bazaar and theknot.com. They were on sale for $4.99 each! Can't beat that. Love the aqua
