This was one of those smallish paper parasols that you can buy or rent for outdoor events like weddings to provide shade for guests. These were, in fact, used in my brother-and-law’s wedding in their pure white form. For their 1 year wedding anniversary, I decoupaged it in my sister-in-law’s (also the recipient of this purse) wedding color – purple – and gave it as a gift. I think the photos turned out exceptionally well too.
