Mandap decor these days has gone on a big makeover - from just marigolds, it has gone to floral strings and minimal draping and now a Parisian touch with lace parasols doing all the talking. Tip: Add your favourite flower to the parasol to keep the look refreshing!

Use them as chandeliers

Use them as props for that intimate shoot

Upside down umbrellas, thai umbrellas...all of them can be turned from common household things to fun decor items with just an addition of diamantes, pearls and other sweet glam things.

Instead of a floral bunting, make one with Rajasthani umbrellas to add a fun vibrant touch to your mehendi.

It's a big statement this season, umbrellas happily basking in the sunlight and making an mazaing backdrop - go pastel if you want to keep it chic!

Found it on a DIY site and realised it makes for a cute addition. Use a closed umbrella as a vase and tuck in few flowers for a rustic chic look.
