the more I checked out the Bella Umbrella website (thank you gratefulbride!) the more I fell in love with the idea to have my bridesmaids carry paragodas down the ailse during my ceremony outside in the park, but we could also use paragodas during the Bridesmaids Garden Party/Luncheon I'm hosting for them over the summer!!!
I had already decided we'd wear Tea-length dresses, vintage hats and fingerless lace gloves... but the paragodas would completely set off everything AND look great in the photos. I think it really ties in the modern vintage theme, and adds a bit of glam to the mix as well.
I was amazed to find my wedding colors (purple and orange) together on some of the paragodas that were available to rent. SO EXCITED! What's more, you can reserve the paragodas for $20-$30 and have access to them 5 days. AWESOME, right?
just like in the photo I'm using for the blog post that I found on the Bella Umbrella site, paragodas are perfect for photos, and a nice way to tie all my ladies together walking down the aisle whether they are wearing the plum purple or the orange.
YAY! I love it when a plan comes together *in my A-Team voice* hahahahaha
