- Wedding: February 2015 - Mount Hermon
We’re getting married in February, so I was hoping to get a nice big umbrella in case it was raining. Pictures with umbrellas are cute, so I wouldn’t be too heartbroken if it was raining. It’s something that I was prepared for from the time we picked February for our wedding.
I’m debating what color to get. What do you ladies think? Black, black and white, white, clear, or something else? It needs to be big enough to fit both of us comfortably, so definitely one of the oversized golf umbrellas.

- Wedding: June 2015 - Historic house and gardens
MrsYellowDaffodil: I’ve been wondering the same thing. We are getting married in June (Australia) and theres a very good chance of rain. I’m trying to see if I can find a clear umbrella as they look great in the rain, and don’t take over the overall look. I haven’t had much luck finding a large one though.

I bought white 60″ umbrellas off amazon for pretty cheap! But, almost everything in our wedding is white or black so white made sense for us!

We got a giant black umbrella with a wooden handle and I can tell you it looked great in photos 🙂

We gave the BMS pale blue ones, the GMs black ones, and ours was a giant white one (all of them were very attractive with classic wooden handle). I would say definitely go with white or clear because the light cast underneath them is most flattering. some of the pics with black umbrellS made peoples faces dark.

MrsYellowDaffodil: so I’m not married yet but our photographer carries a huge clear umbrella in case it’s raining and those photos always turn out beautiful!

I’d go with one of your wedding colors. Or you could pick royal blue for your “something blue.” 🙂

Thanks ladies!! I have been looking for clear, but it seems that 60″+ clear umbrellas are REALLY hard to find. White is almost as hard to find, and there is plenty of black. But I think you’re all right about the shadows and shadowed faces would break my heart.
I’ll go with clear if I can find it, white if I can’t. Our wedding colors are cream & tan/brown. Neutrals, basically. Not exactly helpful in this hunt.

MrsYellowDaffodil: I actually like white or tan better than clear. But either way, it will be a fun prop!
