BIG umbrellas..where to find them?

lisaallen80

SO- I'm getting married on Friday, and I have to accept that fact that it's most likely going to rain.  I'm really sad about it...but there's nothing I can do, right?  I need to be prepared though with umbrellas....the HUGE kind, that fit like 5 people underneath it. Anyone know where I can get these?  Don't have time to have them shipped by Friday...must be able to buy them in person.  Let me know.  Thanks...

Try a golf store. Golfers always have HUGE umbrellas.

I think you are thinking of those huge golf umbrellas, I would check the golf stores, I think there is one on Rt. 17.

Don't feel bad ... you can get some cute shots under umbrellas, and some people say rain is good luck. Ditto PPs, try golf stores. Or maybe a department store, sporting goods store, home furnishing store (Target, Marshall's, etc.). Any stores around you that sell promotional items to companies? Maybe they'd have some they can sell you. If your high school/college is around here, see if they have some in their bookstore.

any sports store will have them

We got ours at a golf store on Route 17 - near fourtunoffs.  I bought pink & white.  All white is pretty as well - doesn't reflect color back onto your dress...  or just rock something really bright.  Without time to order off the internet, looking in stores can be a little limiting.  So if you don't find what you are looking for, you can get a few bigger umbrellas for the bridal party and get something funkier/smaller for some photos with just the 2 of you.

Brooke ~ do clear umbrellas photograph well?

Brooke_TheSequel

Yeah... I think so.  We actually own a clear umbrella and keep it in our trunk as a 'just in case.'   There is a photo of it in this gallery:http://www.steventackeff.com/#mi=2&pt=1&pi=10000&s=1&p=10&a=0&at=0It's slide #12.I don't know I'd do clear for everybody.  But I thought it was cute for the Bride & Groom.:)
