I am planning on having the bridesmaids carry paper parasols instead of bouqets for the wedding. I'm struggling on the colors though.

My dress is Ivory, the girls dresses are Fuschia. The wedding colors are Mango and Fuschia.

Should I have the girls carry Ivory parasols? or Mango (orange) ones? White ones?

Also, I'm going to be painting one (with thank you or just married) for pictures should the one I paint be Ivory or White?

I wanted to order them soon so I can get them in with enough time to start the painting but I'm second guessing all my choices.

What should I go with?

You can get white ones in bulk from Oriental Trading Company. Then you could tie a ribbon on the handle in one of the wedding colors. That's what I'm doing. It'll be much cheaper.

The only thing I'm afraid of... is getting white and then they look off next to my dress... That's why I thought Ivory.

hummm that is tricky! My dress is diamond white and the girls are navy. I am going to have the girls carry fuchsia parasols and I will have one too. I think for you I would either have the girls carry ivory and you have a mango parasol or have you and all the girls carry mango so you don't have to worry about the white. I wouldn't do plain white because you don't want anything whiter then your dress because it might make it look dingy in comparison. You dress should be the whitest thing I think!

For the thank you an mango parasol with ivory writing would be super cute and would give the picture a pop of color!

One question for you since we are on the subject lol! I am wanting to order mine and I don't know what size to get. I am getting mine from Luna Bazaar (<-- Clicky) and they have so many sizes! I am thinking 28in for my junior bridesmaid and then maybe 32in for the adult bridesmaids. Is that too big? Should I do 28in for the adults and 20in for my junior bridesmaid?

You can paint them to add color. I know you need another DIY project...

I'm definitely painting 2 for pics. One with a Thank you and one with Just Married. Like Pam did. I'm just lost on the colors for those... but I'm liking the ivory paint on color idea.

I wanted a Fuschia parasol for me... would it loo odd to have a pink one and the girls with orange ones??

I'm getting mine from Luna Bazar too!

I'm ordering 32in for the bridesmaids and I was thinking of 20 inches for my jr... just because she's tiny..

I love the idea of the mango parasols with you with the fuscia one!! It will be fun for sure!! And I think colored also for the thank-you one!

Hey Venus909 - just a quick question about "blinging":

I'm planning on doing my shoes an was wondering what kind of glue you have been using and where did you get your Swarovski crystals from (and what size)

I'm totally new to DIY stuff!

Thanks!
