How to stop rain ruining your wedding photos

If this summer is as rainy as last year, make life easy with this new wedding service ...

Brollies can make beautiful photos!

While most brides dread a rainy wedding, very few are really prepared if it happens.  Most photographers and professional wedding car companies have an umbrella for the Bride, but what about the bridesmaids and the bridal party?  They won’t want to ruin hairstyles and hats or get wet through for your beautiful photos!

A great idea I stumbled upon is to hire wedding umbrellas from Hire-a-brolly.

They have 41” diameter umbrellas or a 51” diameter bride’s umbrella to protect your dress. Hire charges are very reasonable: 20 umbrellas hired would cost £55 at the moment, including delivery and return courier service, but you can buy if you prefer.  Even your group photos could be outside at those prices - for those shots which helped you choose your venue!

The company recommend booking early, as they operate a first come first served policy, but at the very latest by the Monday before your weekend wedding.
