Dancing in the rain

While June is probably not the rainiest month in Columbus, it definitely rains.  Daily.  Anytime between 2 and 6.  For about an hour-ish.  Sometimes it’s just one big torrential downpour, lasting about 12 minutes on average (and yes, that is a very accurate statisitic, right out of my head, based on years of living in the south, and therefore years of research).   Othertimes, we actually get a decent rain.  The problem is, you never know.  A rain cloud can pop up out of no where and all of the sudden you are stuck in the rain.

So, I am seriously concerned about the fact that our brief window before the ceremony for photo-ops may be ate up with rain.  And the only thing that makes me feel better about this, is fantastically cute bride with umbrella photos.

How sweet are these umbrellas from SignatureBella?

While this is completely out of my price range (at a whooping $96.00 each!!), I love love love the shape of that umbrella.  It’s so vintage!

BellaUmbrella has a rental option, with way more reasonable prices. I love this umbrella, it has that same vintage shape, which is apparently referred to as Pagoda style.

Here’s a feathered option for those modern brides

Got to love the polka dots

Umbrellas.net has this lovely lace umbrella

PareUmbrellas has this great floral motif umbrella

And for the classic umbrella image, here’s a clear umbrella

I really love the idea of renting those gorgeous pagoda umbrellas from BellaUmbrella.  I don’t think I would rent one for each of my girls (there’s 6 remember?) but maybe 3?  What do you think?
