7 Dreamy Poolside Weddings to Inspire Your Summer Event

A backyard swimming pool offers convenience and a completely personalized wedding experience. Resorts, on the other hand, often provide stunning views and space for larger parties. Lush flowers may be placed around or on top of the water; or, leave the pool unadorned and simply let the peaceful waters serve as a relaxing backdrop.
