It’s summertime! The season we’ve all been waiting for. We’re looking forward to pool parties, summer cocktails, and of course sunshine! When we host a party we always start with a theme.

This party was inspired by the darling, one-footed stance birds because of their vibrant colors and just all-around awesomeness!

Pool parties are the perfect excuse to gather your friends and family for an afternoon swim with music, food and lots of charming details! Summer is about being outside as much as possible, soaking in the sweet memories of our favorite season!
