Pool-Free Pool Parties Just Might Be Our New Favorite Party Theme
Three years ago, we decided to throw a summer bash to create rad installations, celebrate our Wild Flower Club, and come together with incredible vendors and friends to just have a ball! The intention was to make it a pool party, but we immediately ran into a bunch of obstacles – safety, capacity, and available pools! So we went back to the drawing board and decided to still throw it (including all the fun parts of a pool party) without having an actual pool. It was such a smash that we made it an annual event and gave it a different theme variation each year. Last year was Retro Tiki; this year was Mod Palm Springs! It's such a fun challenge each year making sure it feels like a pool party without the obvious component of a big ol' pool at the epicenter. We certainly follow a few guidelines, but it's a good exercise in not limiting yourself by your surroundings. Most people, of course, don't have a pool, so below are our tips and tricks for throwing a super rad pool party WITHOUT a pool! Less sunburn + bikini action, more mojitos + limbo.

Rain or Shine, These Wedding Venues Have You Covered
We love making a good snow angel as much as the next snow bunny, but when it comes to partying on a cold day, we’d simply rather be indoors and preferably beside a fireplace. So, today’s focus is entirely on our favorite indoor wedding venues across the country that are party perfect year round. Whether it’s cold and rainy, hot and humid, or just not that nice outside, these places offer a welcoming space for your guests to gather. From an urban winery in Brooklyn to a beautiful bell tower in Nashville, there’s a little something for every wedding style so you can celebrate with your friends and family in comfort rather than battling the elements.
