Planning Questions

Do parasols block the view of the ceremony?

When used thoughtfully, parasols provide shade without obstructing sightlines. If you're very concerned, you can include a small note asking guests to “shade with care so everyone can see.”

How many parasols should I provide?

Most hosts plan for 50–70% of guest count, depending on seating layout and sun direction. If your ceremony is in direct midday sun, you may want closer to full coverage.

Are handheld fans necessary if I provide parasols?

In peak heat, fans add airflow and noticeably improve comfort. Many hosts pair parasols with fans if they're expecting full sun exposure or stagnant heat.

What if I don’t want to invest in a tent?

Parasols and fans offer flexible, lower-commitment shade solutions when full tent coverage isn’t part of your setup.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Nationwide shipping is available for rentals and purchases. We recommend planning ahead to allow for event timing.
