Yellow cotton parasols cut through with a floral lace pattern, 24 inches across when open. Bought almost entirely for haldi and mehendi, where yellow is the whole colour scheme.

What these are

A cutwork parasol is made by perforating the canopy rather than printing it - the floral pattern is cut out of the cloth, so the umbrella throws lace shadows in sun and glows when it is lit from behind. In yellow it is the standard prop for a haldi ceremony, and it carries into mehendi, Ramadan and Eid setups for the same reason.

Why this one

Yellow 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.

Which set size

  • Set of 5 - $70, or $14 each. Enough for one backdrop, an aisle, or a photo corner.
  • Set of 10 - $120, or $12 each. A ceiling cluster over a mandap or a dance floor.
  • Set of 25 - $240, or $9.60 each. Full-venue coverage, or a hall ceiling.

All three sets are the same umbrella. 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. If you need a quantity we do not list, email contact@urliutsav.com.

Where they go

Over a haldi seating area, which is what most of these are bought for. 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.

The rest of the range

We stock four canopies in two families. The printed and embroidered ones have a solid canopy worked with mirrors and metallic thread - these read as colour from across a room. The cutwork lace ones are perforated, so light comes through the pattern and they photograph as texture rather than as a block of colour.

Printed and embroidered: Bandhani cotton, assorted colours and gold print on silk, five colours. Cutwork lace: white cutwork lace.

Frequently asked questions

Is every umbrella the same yellow?
They are all yellow, and small differences in tone between one and the next are normal for dyed cotton worked in batches. In a cluster it is not visible.
Do they give any shade?
Some, 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.
Are these waterproof? Can I use them in the rain?
No. 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.
How do I hang them?
Most 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.
Will they all look identical?
No. 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.
Can I reuse them after the event?
Yes - 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.
How do they arrive?
Folded and boxed together, closed, not individually wrapped. Open each one before the event to let the fold lines relax.
How do I clean them?
Spot 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.
What if one arrives damaged?
Shipping 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.
Can I return them?
Yes, 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.
