Help me stay cool...ever used a parasol?

I am attending a wedding on Saturday and it’s going to be 28 degrees. The wedding is outdoors with no shade.

Does anyone know of a parasol that I could get to arrive tomorrow? I’m thinking amazon! But they look like umbrellas!

Oh that's my idea of hell. Surely they'll have to fix up some sort of shade? Do you have any nice floppy sunhats that would look smart enough? Those little hand held fans are good. I wouldn't buy a parasol especially. A decent plain umbrella would be fine, maybe not for the ceremony but for the hanging around bit afterwards.

There are some pretty, light coloured ones on Amazon but a lot of them seem to be delivered at the weekend.

My MIL bought one when we were at a festival and there wasn't any shade, it was really good and much better than a normal umbrella as the heat was reflected away rather than absorbed.

I can’t seem to see any parasols on Amazon, they all come up as garden parasols you have for a patio!

I think an ordinary umbrella if time is of the essence plus a handheld fan. What else can you do?
