Wedding "too casual" ??

I love this idea however, I'm concerned about the comfort of your guests with no AC and a potential for a heat wave. What is you plan for that? Also, its your wedding. As long as you are making sure the guests are comfortable, I wouldn't worry about the pool party aspect. It sounds like my type of party! LOL

With there being no AC, I think a lot of guests will be eyeing the pool anyway, so definitely let them know to bring a suit and cool down!

The thing is, it's YOUR wedding. Even if it does have more of a backyard BBQ feel, who cares? It sounds like a blast, and it's a wedding because at some point, you will be marrying your FS! Guest comfort always comes before aesthetic, in my opinion, and your wedding would be one to remember!

I think that sounds awesome! I regret making my wedding less casual so have fun with whatever you want to do! (:

You could do part formal for the ceremony & then all casual for the reception. It sounds really fanstastic... Now I wish I had a way to do a "pool" reception. I think it will be terrific.

I would love to go to a wedding that had a pool that we were allowed to swim in!

That sounds awesome! My only concern would be if you're having alcohol...I would highly recommend hiring a lifeguard as a safety precaution if you open up the pool to people. Pool accidents happen all the time unfortunately.

That sounds amaze balls. Are you having a tent outside or anything? If so i believe you can rent fans to help cool people off

I think this sounds so cool! So much has changed, brides do not stick with tradition anymore so theres bound to be something the "old folks" think is odd. I think if you make it look classy enough.. keep the wedding feel

It is YOUR wedding, and you stated that you want a "laid back" wedding, so I say go ahead! I would have loved if the two back yard weddings I went to in JUNE and JULY had opened up their pool!

Kick off your party by jumping in the pool with your new husband, wedding dress and everything 😂

I think this can totally work! I'd recommend letting guests know about the pool and maybe giving the wedding a laid back theme like luau or anything that would indicate that it's not formal. This way guests don't go crazy on hair and makeup because they know they might go in the pool. As far as older people complaining... you'll never please everyone. No matter what kind of wedding you have someone will find it too casual, too formal, too cheap, too expensive, so don't let it get to you! Your wedding will be great!
