Let’s face it—you can’t control the weather on your wedding day—but the good news is that you can be prepared with whatever the forecast may bring with a gorgeous umbrella.“Will it rain on my wedding day?” is no doubt a question that every couple has circling in the back of their mind as they plan their nuptials. Logistics such as having an outdoor versus an indoor ceremony, tented or open-air reception, and backup weather plans are common (and very necessary) questions to navigate.

Rain or shine, fashionable umbrellas for weddings are definitely trending. Whether you’re looking for colorful parasols to protect your bridesmaids from the sun, or weatherproof versions to keep your wedding party dry, umbrellas can be the perfect prop for cute photos that you'll treasure forever.

Here, the best wedding umbrellas.
