8. Umbrella
If you’re having an outdoor wedding, a brolly is a fantastic option. They’re pretty, plus they’ll protect the delicate skin of your little flowergirl. Word of warning, this probably isn’t a great idea for a church wedding, you might get a gasp of horror from your superstitious family members.
