Honeystore Flower Lace Parasols for Wedding Party Lace Bridal Umbrella

Umbrellas are a most especially for sun shade blocking! I volunteer for a Free Bible Study campaign this month and this shade helps keep the sun from blistering in this Texas heat.

I use it as decor in my living room. Very pretty.

I ordered the parasol to use during a Dixieland style funeral procession for a family member in rural North Dakota. The parasol comes in a nice compact bag that can be easily placed in your purse or bag. The rods/spines have a locking clasp in the center of each that need to done one by one, but it's only a slight inconvenience. The parasol is sturdy enough to withstand the constant breezes we have here and held up marvelously during our parade. The sequins and appliques throughout are vibrant, delicate and gorgeous which resulted in many compliments. It could be used in a light rain, but I think it will stand up best using it for shade.

Dislike all the glitter and sequined pattern. Looks plain with design in photo , but is actually gaudy.

I believe I received a parasol someone else returned. The first pic is how it looked out of the packaging. The second pic is what it looked like when I put it away properly. The parasol/umbrella is heavy and was verydifficult to wrap up to put into the sleeve. It is not a quick open and close process-you have to snap and unsnap each post. I had to put it on a table and pull the strap very tight to get it to snap. I thought it was going to rip off the closing snap, did not, but it is tight. The strap also hangs down below the umbrella and it very visible, so pictures will need to be staged before the click to make sure it is in back of the shot and out of sight. I bought this to match a special dress for an upcoming trip to Florida, but it is not practical.On the plus side, it is very pretty. I am sad that it will not work out well for me.

Does the work of protecting from the sun. esthetic. But not enaugh easy to handle

I'm very happy with this. The detail work is gorgeous. I couldn't tell from the official photos that there are multi colored sequins interspersed between the purple and gold. It took a little getting used to because it was a surprise. But I still really like it.I ordered it for an upcoming Renaissance Fair because it's in Nevada and supposed to be about 92 degrees even thought it's the middle of October lol. I think it's a nice addition to my costume and will definitely help protect from the sun. I included photos of the parasol in the sunlight and inside. And also photos of the case it came in and the handle.All in all I'm very happy with this. Hopefully this review and the photos will help someone else.
