Swimming Pool Decorations
The most important tip for decorating around your pool is to use color. Colorful potted plants of geraniums, blooming gardenias, or bouquets of store bought flowers should surround your guests with color and fragrance. Pool Party Decorations
Keep a consistent color combination - using the same colors for your invites, paper goods, flowers and pool decorations. Colored Paper Lanterns
Choose a color theme and repeat it in the table setting, the paper lanterns, and any other swimming pool decorations that you use. Hanging Paper Lanterns Pool Party Themes
Consider using a pool party theme for your next swimming pool party. The theme will give direction to your invitations, food, the color theme and the decorations. This summer we had an Under The Sea Party. Blue painted fish with shimmering tales hung from the umbrella ribs. They also greeted the guests by the gate and the pool steps. The deep sea fish were on painted wooded dowels and then set into the ground. Sparkling aqua blue netting was draped around the umbrella ribs, the pole and then pooled on top of the umbrella tablecloth. Colorful sea creatures like crabs and starfish were scattered on the table along with some seashells. Pool Party Themes Luminary Bags
For an evening party set out luminary bags on the path to the pool, on any steps, and around the perimeter of the pool. These outdoor party lights are an inexpensive way to make sure that way there are no dark areas. Instead of using add some decorative rocks to the bottom of the bag to keep it from blowing over. Electronic candles are much more reliable and easier to use. They look just like real candles, but they stay lit and don't blow out. Swimming Pool Fountains
Swimming pool fountains provide a source of a refreshing visual delight and a calming sound of splashing water. They can be easily installed and removed. We use a floating pool fountain that sits in the middle of our pool. They are great pool decorations for daytime parties or get a lighted fountain for evening entertainment. Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers
Bouquets of blue hydrangeas look fabulous in these yellow buckets.I put large bouquets of them on the steps to the pool with a touch of blue netting tied on the handle. Sitting alongside the bouquet is a blue dolphin pool toy. More bouquets were placed by the pool gate and at the tables. When decorating for a pool party not only should repeat the same color scheme - but repeat the same flowers as well. The flowers on each of the tables or wherever you use them should be similar in style and color. Go from Pool Decorations to Pool Fun
