Paper Parasol

Comments about The Knot Paper Parasol:

I ordered the cobalt parasol to use in my photos. The color is a beautiful bright blue - exactly what I wanted and expected. The parasol is in great shape and opens/closes easily. I would recommend waiting to order until they go on sale.

I ordered these for my bridesmaids to carry during my destination wedding. They arrived in perfect condition, and I am so excited to include them in our beachside ceremony.

Really disappointed with the quality of this product. They are not well made. They also dye the parasols and the wooden part at the top of the parasol gets stained as well and it looks grungy. They dye on the paper part of the parasol looks really shotty. It's streaky, doesn't look even at all. It's very obvious that it's been dyed and it's not even dyed well. Just save your money and go else where!

My bridesmaids bought thses to dress up my shower. They looked amazing and I was so happy that they tied into my color theme for my wedding.

The handle is a nice bamboo. I ordered the purple umbrellas. The color wasn't consistent throughout the paper. It tended to lighten towards the outside edge. It made them look a little cheap in my opinion. I ended up spray painting the paper on the umbrella so that the color was more consistent. I added a little shimmer of glitter too. It was time-consuming but turned out very pretty.

Colors aren't exactly as pictured on screen. I got the Cobalt and they aren't that vibrant, I got the light blue which look only ok, and the Coral which are more orange looking. I got the Ivory for myself and it looks like dirty white.

Overall they'll serve their purpose which is photos on the golfcourse.

Make sure you don't break them when you open and close, if you push too hard the part that keeps it open will break.

These parasols were absolutely perfect! After checking around with other websites, these were the lowest priced. The parasols matched my wedding colors (key lime) perfectly. I would order these again & again. Great quality - I love them. Thanks!

I bought two of these parasols, one in sage green and one in yellow, so I could compare the colors to use as gifts for my bridesmaids in place of bouquets. Both the handle length and the diameter/circumference of the parasol when open are perfect, not too small but also not oversized for fitting through the doorway of the open-air pavilion of my outdoor ceremony.

Because of how thin the paper is, the sage green is about as pictured on the description, but the yellow comes off as being more of a pale butter shade. This works out well for my wedding colors, and I'm glad I didn't get ivory instead. They're a little stiff the first time you open them, but very sturdy and as well-made as any I've ever seen at Asian gift stores.

The one negative - there's a spot about an inch across on the green parasol that looks like the paper might have had a hole patched before being dyed. As a result, the outside of the spot is much darker green and the center is almost white. It's probably not big enough to really notice from a distance, yet I might not want to use that individual one as a gift. I had thought about using acrylic paints to add a flower pattern on the parasols, but I've since decided against this because of the slightly waxy texture of the paper and the way it folds. I'll probably add a ribbon instead around the top of the handle if I want the parasols to have any more decoration.

I was worried that they wouldn't be good quality.. I was WRONG! They're great! The paper is great nice and durable, its super cute, intricate threading inside... I'm buying more!
