Make a Splash! Incorporating Your Pool Into Your Party

Looking to make a splash with your next backyard soiree? When planning your party, it can be easy to overlook what’s already in your backyard. Imitate that waterfront feel by using your pool to make a statement. You’ll not only save money compared to booking that oceanside venue but, your event is sure to be just as enchanting! Here are five of our favorite ways to elevate your pool-focused party. 

1. Make it the Focal Point

Arrange guest tables, food stations, and bars around the vicinity of the pool rather than away from it. Create fun tablescapes parallel to the pool sides to make the pool a stunning backdrop for all your event photo!.

2. String Lights

If your event runs into the evening hours, incorporate lighting over the pool so it’s beauty isn’t lost when the sun goes down. Your guests will love the glow given off by the lights and their reflection in the water.

3. Floating Decor

From balloons to candles and flowers, you name it, someone has found a way to make it float! One of the best parts of this design is that it can be completely personalized for your event. Our personal favorite is floating pool signage, it’s a great way to feature your wedding monogram or a meaningful sentiment.

4. Line the Pool Edge

If filling the pool with decor isn’t for you, focus on dressing up the edge. This is a fun way to create a border around the water and add charming accents to highlight your party’s main feature, the pool!

5. Make the Pool Your Aisle

To make a statement that none of your guests will forget, walking on water is sure to be it! This is the wow factor that you have been searching for to kick off your wedding day.
