SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Pool Party

I know I know... you are looking at this inspiration board thinking it's not summertime anymore. But whatever, because the Savannah weather lately is basically summer to us native Oregonians. There is nothing I love more than laying out by the pool on a warm day reading a good book or even better... napping in a hammock. I love the idea of having a wedding pool party... how fun would that be to have your guests bring their swimsuits and hop in the pool after your ceremony? I think with the right guest list (think mature adults and not a bunch of screaming kids lolol) it could be a really fun unique wedding setting. One of my favorite venues in Savannah, the Mackey House, has a really neat pool on their patio. At one of our weddings there we had a floating canvas with their initials on it in the pool along with floating candles. Although the candles struggled at staying lit, it created a really nice soft ambiance. I think having loose flowers in the pool would also be a pretty way to spruce up the area if you are not going to have guests in the pool. Who else is now craving a warm summer day by the pool with a pina colada???
