Do you need an element in your wedding décor that completely blows everyone’s minds? Well, umbrellas completely check all the boxes for unique elements in wedding décor. They are versatile and inexpensive, and you can experiment with them in so many ways!
Umbrellas can be incorporated into every wedding function in so many ways. Whatever theme you may have in mind for your wedding, you will find umbrellas to fit that theme perfectly! There are so many variations in this element that you can zero down on this one element and fit your entire wedding décor around it.
With a little creativity, umbrellas can easily become the main sight for any wedding décor. Umbrellas are also an expensive element to add to the wedding, and they are also very eco-friendly as they can be reused or upcycled. Available in several sizes, colors and patterns, umbrellas can be used in every way for wedding décor!
Here are a few ideas that will give you some inspiration to use umbrellas for wedding décor!
Beaded Umbrellas
Indian weddings often have a ‘Phoolon ki Chaddar’ that covers the aisle so the bride and groom can walk under it to the mandap platform. But if you find that décor style outdated, you can use umbrellas with florals instead. This is a great idea if you are looking for a peppy and different vibe for your wedding.
White beaded umbrellas that are flowing with florals look gorgeous and they are sure to make your aisle way more enchanting! We love this idea, and it will surely add a touch of elegance to your wedding affair!
A Boho Look
A simple décor idea for your dining area is to suspend colorful and patterned umbrellas from the ceiling. You can match the colors with the theme of your wedding, so your dining area and the umbrellas are completely in sync.
While this idea sounds great for your wedding reception, it also perfectly aligns with the colorful and peppy vibe that a Mehendi ceremony usually radiates. You can also reuse these umbrellas in both ceremonies, by using them as backdrops in the Mehendi ceremony, or even as photo props!
Elegant Parasols
Having an outdoor wedding during the day? Add an extra element to your wedding chairs with some light parasols. Parasols are smaller umbrellas that are very light and airy, so they are perfect to provide some shade to your guests.
They are very handy as outdoor event rentals for beach or garden weddings where your guests need some much-needed protection from the blazing sun. You can pick the color for the parasols according to the theme, but we recommend having light colored parasols for your chairs. A simple white parasol also looks gorgeous if your chairs have a different colored structure.
One For the Photos
Assorted umbrellas of different sizes, colors and patterns will look great as a backdrop for your wedding portraits. You can go very creative with your backdrops. Pair them with some florals or lighting, or even other décor elements. A structured arch made up of umbrellas also looks great, but make sure you use different patterns so each one can stand out.
A single umbrella can also be used as a prop if you find too many umbrellas gaudy. Use a simple lace umbrella with minimal floral décor at the ends to pose with. This simple umbrella will add a delicate touch to your wedding photos. They are easy to pose with, and give a playful vibe! You can grab these elements for wedding prop rentals easily.
Ceiling Décor
There are so many different ways to use umbrellas for ceiling décor. For a quaint Sangeet night, use some LED-lit umbrellas to brighten up your entire venue. This décor style also looks great on the wedding aisle if you are having your wedding indoors. Walking under a sky-lit umbrella pathway sounds magical, doesn’t it?
If you are having a day wedding, there is another great alternative for you instead of lights. You can mix umbrellas with the fresh charm of florals and adorn the venue with suspended umbrellas. Transparent or white umbrellas paired with a bold colored flower assortment look very charming at any wedding venue!
From ceiling décor to adorning the dining area with this simple element, we are completely fond of this beautiful décor style! While this is just the start, you can go creative and pick the décor idea that matches your wedding aesthetic. Tell us what wedding décor rentals you like the most!
