No wedding in New Orleans would be complete without a Second line with parasols!
Our premiere Second Line parasol is the Wedding Cake - a pure white faux wedding cake with your choice of ribbon color around each layer sits 14" tall atop a pure white parasol decorated with giant Swarovski crystals, chandelier swag, 12 chandelier drops and a mirrored 'Mr. and Mrs.' cake topper!
Ribbon color available in white, cream, pale pink, baby blue, black. Custom designs available.
In case you have not been initiated into this fantastic tradition, The "Second line" is an integral part of a beautiful old tradition in New Orleans where people gather and parade down the street as part of a funeral or a wedding, Mardi Gras or sometimes just a hot Friday night!
The "Main line" [or primary organizers of the parade] are usually accompanied by a jazz band, a drink or two to ward off the hot and muggy New Orleans evenings and a whole lot of cool brought by the "Second line" who follow the band to enjoy the music and the celebration or to show respect. The second line's style of traditional dance, where walkers strut or dance with a parasol or handkerchief in the air is called "second lining."
We are proud to donate a portion of proceeds from this parasol to Rebuilding Together New Orleans; a charity dedicated to getting people into rebuilt homes in New Orleans' Katrina-devastated 9th ward. |
