Brolly Opinions please

OOOPS BMs dresses

? Love the BM dresses!!!!!! You have great taste! Where are they from if I may ask?

I think black ones for the BM's would be nice and the Ivory one for yourself!

What month are you getting married in?

I've got that brolly - was a random Bday present b4 I got engaged. Its a fab unbrella with a great shape when you put it up.

I agree a white one for you, but black might be a bit dark for your BMs - do they do it in any other complimentary colours for your Bms? Silver might be nice. The dresses are lovely BTW

November......brrrrrh.......so brollys are a good idea.........my initial reaction was black aswell but not sure if that would effect the photos if the had them up..........would it cast a dark reflection on their face?

Have tried everywhere but cant get them in silver.............maybe Zippy would be able to help😃..........nearest thing I can find is these

Those brollys are lovely. Where are they from? I'd just go for white/ivory for the bm's.

You don't want them to look quite as good as you though!

I wouldn't get them exactly the same as you because if I were you I'd want to stand out a bit, should the need for brollies arise. ? I think the grey ones would be nice, or I agree that silver would go nicely with the dresses.

I've got myself an ivory brolly from JL, my bridesmaids have smaller pink brollies (their dresses are choc brown with pink sashes) that we got from TKMaxx - they had loads of colours, although the selection is a bit random, still might be worth a look? and then we bought black golf umbrellas for the men from Primark for £2.50 each - bargain! I'm hoping we won't need to use them though and will take them all back afterwards if we don't.

Hi SG,

Can I ask was yr brolly more an pale ivory or creamy ivory colour the advertise them as ivory/cream on some of the sites I looked at.............oh and Purfect Gems search under Edwardian Umbrellas on Ebay.........there are loads Red/Black and Pink that I have seen so far.

Fab thanks off to look now. Shame no where does colour co-ordinated ones that can be dyed like shoes!

Hey now there is an idea for a HIB!!!!

Sadly I'm happy enough doing tiaras and jewellery otherwise a brolly business could have been my next venture!

Agree Brollys are like are like shoes to me...........have tons!!!.........hey you could customise them with gems/ pearls/ lace for the bride......as ssdaisy said before the bride always wants to be special?

Fancy going into business together!!?

Alas I am a frustrated artist............was accepted to Art School in my youth then had children?.........have great plans for the future though........hey I just live up the road from you so when I do eventually get the chance!...........but not enough hours in the day for me now.........from yr web site I suspect I would just hold you back[:'(].........bit envious of you HIB doing the creative stuff.........but to far into the pension now!!!!........

I can personalise umbrellas with your colour scheme or could add diamantes for extra sparkle!! At the moment I do black, white or ivory umbrellas - did think about supplying lots of different colours but how much stock that would be I am not sure!!

If I did, what are the main colours I should think about?

Hey your never too late to start something off.....? I'm sure we could find a wee warehouse somewhere to keep all our stock!

Hi Christine,

Maybe red, purple and pinks? Although you will never manage to have the exact colour I suppose to match up with bm dresses etc so then people might end up going for the white and ivory anyway. I think a sparkly brolly is a great idea.

Has Rachel (sorry if I have the wrong name) had her baby yet?

It rained all day on our wedding day and we used golfing brollies from the pound shop for a pound each ? Even tho it was raining our tog still manged to get all our photos done without a brollie in sight. The best man held one over us and dashed out of the shot each time x

I think that is the problem, whatever colours you have there are always so many more that are wanted!!

Thanks for asking about Rachel, her baby is due 12th December although she had a bit of a scare last week. I went to Portugal for a 4 day well needed break, first day by the pool and phone call from her husband to say she was bleeding and contracting!!!! We came back early (because we were worried but also because she was running Pure-treats whilst we were away!) they managed to calm everything down so now she is sitting with legs crossed for hopefully at least another 4 weeks!

Sorry folks this is not about brollies!!!!

I hope Rachel is ok. Loads of stay put baby vibes coming her way and that you get another holiday at some point. ?

Hi pure-treats wot about nice gold or silver brolleys they would fit in with nearly every colour scheme. i would love a really specialbrolley with lace, pearls etc... lol. Good idea

Hi Kisses..........def agree gold/silver brollys would be a great idea..........if you could find them HIBS

Thanx Nutsy, i would love a nice gold one...i love the shape of the one in your pic...can i ask wer u got it from and how much??

Ebay for about £12 each (inclusive of postage).........will put a post on when it arrives and let you know if they are as nice as pics.......they have loads on .

Thanks, i may have to make a purchase (unless someone fancies inventing the gold one with lace and pearls, lol)))

Our supplier does Gold and Silver umbrellas maybe this is something we should consider ordering. Do you think brides would like a more elaborate umbrella like the picture below? We were thinking we could add Gold, Silver Diamantes to glam it up even more if people want something a bit different.

Hi Nutsy, someone left an umbrella like the one you've posted picture of in my work, we've had it for a few days now so doesn't look like they're coming back for it. Its black, although obviously not brand new, would you like me to send it to you?

I really like that brolly and prefer it to the standard ones. So yes I think you should stock them and tell me how much they would be ?.

I'm going to need a few of your doggy teddies next year so will just keep adding to my list of things I need from you.

YES PURETREATS THOSE BROLLEYS ARE PERFECT, I THINK THEY ARE PERFECT 4 THE BRIDE. I THINK THESE WOULD SELL QUITE WELL

Thanks Purrfectgems and kisses. I have e mailed my supplier to check on prices and to find out how long they take to come from Italy. Watch this space!!

Any news on the brollys pure treats??
