In yellow it is the standard prop for a haldi ceremony, and it carries into mehendi, Ramadan and Eid setups for the same reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYellow is difficult to buy in bulk without it going either acid or muddy, and this is a warm marigold rather than either. The cutwork keeps it from reading as a flat block of colour across ten or twenty umbrellas - the perforation breaks it up, and mirror accents in the canopy catch the light. 230 g each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich set size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet of 5\u003c\/strong\u003e - $70, or $14 each.

Larger events usually need more than people expect - a ceiling cluster reads as sparse below about ten, and a single row of five along a wall reads as deliberate.

Along a mehendi backdrop or behind the seating. Hung upside down in a ceiling cluster for a sangeet. Staked down a garden path. In Ramadan and Eid setups, and at Basant and Onam. Open in a corner of a room afterwards, where a single yellow parasol does a lot of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe rest of the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stock four canopies in two families. The \u003cstrong\u003eprinted and embroidered\u003c\/strong\u003e ones have a solid canopy worked with mirrors and metallic thread - these read as colour from across a room. The \u003cstrong\u003ecutwork lace\u003c\/strong\u003e ones are perforated, so light comes through the pattern and they photograph as texture rather than as a block of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted and embroidered: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bandhani-cotton-umbrellas-wedding-umbrella\"\u003eBandhani cotton, assorted colours\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/gold-multi-color-cotton-umbrellas-perfect-event-party-decor\"\u003egold print on silk, five colours\u003c\/a\u003e.

In a cluster it is not visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they give any shade?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome, but that is not what they are for. The canopy is perforated, so light comes through the pattern by design. Treat them as decor and props rather than as sun protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these waterproof? Can I use them in the rain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. These are decorative parasols, not rain umbrellas. The canopies are unlined cotton or silk - some of them perforated on purpose - so rain goes through. Keep them dry and they will last through many events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I hang them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost people hang them upside down from the canopy using fishing line or thin wire through the rib tips, or stake the handle into the ground outdoors. The shaft is a slim wooden pole, so it takes a zip tie or a length of twine easily. We do not supply hanging hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they all look identical?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They are handworked, so the embroidery, the cutting and the placement of the mirrors vary from one umbrella to the next. In a cluster that reads as intentional rather than as a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse them after the event?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - that is most of the point at this price. Close them, keep them dry and store them flat or hanging. The fabric creases where it folds; opening them a day early lets the folds drop out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do they arrive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFolded and boxed together, closed, not individually wrapped. Open each one before the event to let the fold lines relax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpot clean with a barely damp cloth, or dry clean. Do not soak them - the mirror work and the metallic thread do not take washing, and a wet canopy dries misshapen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if one arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured. Photograph it, email contact@urliutsav.com, and we will replace it or make it right. Tell us your event date in the same email and we will prioritise it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I return them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, within 30 days in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer. Because these are bought to a date, order early enough to open the box and check them with time to spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eShipping and assurance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree insured shipping across the USA and Canada.
