Hey friends, its Jess! Summer is here and that means pool days are in full swing. Whether you’re hosting a big group of friends or just having a chill afternoon with family, creating a fun and beautiful poolside experience is all about the details. Heres how I like to keep it simple, stylish, and totally stress-free:
-
Set the Vibe Early
Music sets the mood, so start with a great playlist (I love mixing old-school hits with summer chill tracks). A portable speaker and some upbeat background music go a long way in making everything feel festive. -
Keep the Snacks Easy
You dont need to go overboarda mix of salty and sweet is always a hit. Think chips and guac, fruit skewers, popsicles, or a big pitcher of flavored water. If you’re feeling extra, a grazing board or snack tray looks beautiful and feeds a crowd effortlessly. -
Style Your Poolside Setup
A few pretty touches go a long way. I love using fun towels, a cute umbrella, and maybe even a woven basket for sunscreen and poolside essentials. Add a pitcher of lemonade or sangria and youve got instant resort vibes. -
Think About Seating
Make sure there are plenty of spots to lounge. Mix it up with outdoor chairs, loungers, floor pillows, or even beach towels laid out on the grass. If its a bigger group, keep it casual and cozy. -
Have Pool Games Ready
Whether its floating rings, beach balls, or water-friendly cards, a few simple games keep everyone entertained. If kids are around, pool noodles and diving toys are a must. -
Don’t Forget the Details
Bug spray, SPF, extra hats and towelshaving the little things on hand makes everyone feel taken care of. I like to keep everything in one cute basket by the door for easy access. -
End With a Sweet Treat
I always like to end pool days with something funmini ice cream cones, frozen fruit bars, or smores if the party lingers into the evening.
A pool day doesnt need to be complicated to be memorable. Just a few thoughtful touches make everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Want to shop my favorite poolside picks?
