Parasols instead of flowers...

I think this is such a great idea, especially when you have a large bridal party. A maids bouquet can be as inexpensive as $30 but a full sized maids bouquet is typically $75. If you have six maids...yikes, that can add up quick. I love the simple white against the freshness of their blue dresses...these parasols are a perfectly beautiful alternative to flowers.
