Pashmina - Very cheap so what do you think?

I think they are lovely, what colour would you go for? x

I was thinking of getting cream. THeir dresses will be sage green. I think I will order one to see what they are like before ordering more!

Zippy this is something that i have been looking at for my bridesmaids.

Please let me know what they are like if you order one!!

WSS! They look like a great idea. I might even order one myself. I don't think it overly matters even if they aren't fantastic quality - if they look ok and are good for keeping fairly warm, they should do for a few hours in 1 night.

I've ordered myself a black one to see the quality, we're getting married in October so my BM's and FG's will need something to keep the chill off, great spot of bargain hunting Zippy!

Ive just ordered one for my mum so i will get bk to u. thanks for lettin us in on the great buy, hopefully xx

I think they look great - I'm thinking about ordering some myself now.

Girls that have ordered them, will you let us know what they are like when they come in??

I did order one last night. They take 5 days to come, so will keep you posted

Sorry Zippy, a bit of a crash but my BMs are in victorian lilac and will be wearing silver shoes. What colour would you go for?? Cream or silver or grey???? Or maybe black??

Heres the BMs colour - its a kinda silver/purple/lilac:

When I wanted a pashmina I went to my local Asian mateirial store and picked up some incredible embroidered ones with delicate sequins in wool for £5 each, they had plain ones as well. IF you don't like what you get from ebay, may be you could try those shops.

Mmm not too sure, but the silver grey looks a nice shade

Good idea. Although I don't know if we have any asian shops round here,

Another one jumping on the band wagon here! I've just ordered for each of my bms and one in a different colour for me! Thanks for the link ?

I think this company are going to end up selling out....lol

Thanks girls for your help with colours - think I'll either go with the silver or grey but probably silver. Will order a cream one for myself as well incase I'm hanging about outside.

I saw this online and thought it would be perfect to do for our wedding as we're early april in the evening and it will get cold - to have about 30 (!!) in our colour scheme - but I hadn't managed to find ones cheep enough - I have to say these are the cheapest I've seen so I may consider it now - ours will be in teal, turquoise, lime green and yellow - I think it'll look fab but need to convince OH its worth the expense....

I had an email last night saying mine had been shipped, so will be able to share the quality soon.

Sorry, dragging up this thread again to ask whether you recommended doing the above for guests as my wedding is in January and then I see this! I already have 12 blue umbrellas for guests to use for photos/smoking area and I think I am going to get 12 or so of these. Hopefully everyone will share nicely!

Good point about the numbers Laura - I was a bit worried spending so much but actually not everyone has to have one - some people will have their own or jackets etc.

I just bought 20 (!) in my colours - Teal, turquoise, lime green and yellow.

Zippy they should give you commission - what's your ebay name I think we should write to them it was recommended by you - you may get a freebie....

I've got a couple of cheap pashminas (2 for £5) and they're perfectly fine! They have more of a silky and look good ?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but just wondering where you got your brollies from? Not sure about pashminas - it's a sweet idea and I love the pics and thought, but I'm hoping that my guests are savvy enough to work out that Scotland is freezing all year round so a jacket/shawl is a must!

I am hoping the same Tango- also I dont think all of my guests will be outside at the same time mostly so once they have used one they can put it back for others to use- do you think thats ok? And then at the end of the night people can just take one if they want, I dont mind really. Also your colours are going to look amazing!

I managed to get my umbrellas on bay of e- not brilliant quality but the right colour and they do the job for the day/night really and I think thats all that matters. I got 12 for £10 (bidded) but otherwise I am not sure I would have gone to the expense as it could work out quite alot. Then I have bought a big white wicker basket for it all to go in.

I know its extra expense but I just dont want people to say 'Oh Laura's wedding, yeah I was freezing and wet all night!' and I do have alot of smoker friends and family unfortunately. I also thought only 12 of everything might limit the amount of people out at one time! Hehe
