Bridal Parasols: Style and Class made for each other

The average cost of a wedding in 2011 was $49,202, according to Wedding Guide. It’s a small price to pay for the most special day of your life, of course, but it’s still a pretty hefty expense at a time when you’re also probably thinking about buying a new home, starting a family and a lot of other things. Still, nobody wants to compromise on the celebration, especially when it comes to the latest bridal styles.

Parasols have been a popular wedding trend since 2009. They originally started off at beach weddings, but they’ve since become popular for weddings of all kinds. Parasols give a classy vintage look to an outfit and make a stylish alternative to a bouquet. Unlike a bouquet, they also give a lasting reminder of the big day, and they’re practical too; many modern bridal parasols are waterproof,  and if it’s a hot sunny day, a they can help keep you cool.

Choosing the Perfect Bag or Clutch for Your Wedding

While wedding accessories are important for putting the final touches on your special day, it’s the bridal accessories like the bridal bags and clutches that are the true icing on the cake. After all, you spent hours, days, maybe even months picking out the perfect wedding dress. You should certainly finish off your beautiful look with a bridal purse that suits!

When looking for a bridal handbag, the first thing you will want to consider is color. If you’re wearing a white dress, you’ll most likely want a white evening bag. However, you can also choose a bag that matches your accessories. For example, you might choose a silver bridal bag or clutch to match your beading or jewellery. Be sure to think about size as well since you will need something to carry all your essentials without getting in the way.

You may also choose to purchase a bag for your bridesmaids.  Evening bags come in all sorts of colors. Many times you can find a purse in a color that complements your bridesmaid’s dress or even matches.  Bags and clutches are becoming the preferred item over holding flowers for bridesmaids. A bag is an item that can be used again and always looks stylish.
