Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if it rains on my wedding day?

Embrace the rain and let your photographer and videographer capture stunning, unique shots. Use clear or white umbrellas to keep dry while ensuring your photos look fantastic.

Why should I avoid patterned or coloured umbrellas?

Patterned or coloured umbrellas can cast unflattering colours on your face and dress, and they can be distracting in photos and videos. Clear or plain white umbrellas are less obtrusive and let the light through beautifully.

How many umbrellas should I get for my wedding?

At a minimum, get umbrellas for the wedding couple. For extra coverage, consider providing them for the entire wedding party. It’s always better to have more than you think you’ll need.

Are there any specific features I should look for in wedding umbrellas?

Choose clear or white umbrellas with minimal trim to ensure they don’t cast shadows or distract from the photos. Avoid the cheapest options and test them before the big day to ensure they won’t fail.

What if I want my wedding to have a specific colour theme?

While it might be tempting to match umbrellas to your wedding colours, it’s best to stick with clear or white options for photos. If you really want to incorporate your theme, consider using coloured umbrellas in other decorative areas, not in the photos.
