Unfortunately, whatever time of year you plan a wedding day, you can never rely on the sky to behave. Whether or not you have planned your wedding to perfection, Mother Nature can sometimes have her very own plans especially in Ireland where you are almost guaranteed four seasons in one day! Don’t get caught out – plan ahead.
Whether it rains or shines (or does both) you need to take precautions to protect your dress and a pretty umbrella is the first line of defense. It’s finally time to embrace the brolly and their sunny cousins, pagodas and parasols. But where does one get one’s hands on these pretty umbrellas we hear you ask? Well, here you go – a simple source list for bridal umbrellas and wedding parasols in Ireland and the UK.
Where to Find Bridal Umbrellas
Fun bridal umbrellas are available everywhere and what’s more, you can coordinate them by colour or style. If they are matched with your overall look, they can be the difference between a drizzly wedding photo washout and a charming and a real Irish wedding photo album. Dispelling the myth that grey skies have to dampen the wedding spirit (or photographs!).
