Thread Starter 
I am having a destination wedding poolside and I was thinking about buying some pool fountains or a light show for the reception as a cool touch. However, I am not sure how well these fountains work, etc. Has anyone ever used one or seen one in person? Also, any unique ideas to incorporate the pool into the party? Below are links of some of the fountains I am referring to:

New! Grecian 3-Tier Floating Swimming Pool Fountain - eBay (item 370326595178 end time Feb-26-10 07:49:52 PST)

Mini Floating Fountains

Thanks

I think those pool fountains are really cool!

I'd also add some lighted lily pads to float around the pool, like these: LED LilyLytes - Floating Lotus Lily Lights

Yeah we had one of the lighted pool fountains in our pool before, it worke for a long time. Just keep recipts in case 1 is defective. I think that would be beautiful! I also like the lilly pad idea, maybe have some flowers or flower petals sprinkled in the water (?)

Re: Poolside Reception - Pool Decor ??

the first link you posted i don't think you will be able to use as you need to plug into the return, i used to work at a pool store during the summers in college and we sold this one.

I was thinking of using floating lanterns that light up if we do our reception by the pool

I am doing a poolside AHR. And these are a couple of things I have come up with.

Inanna has already posted one thought.

I am going to put these in the pool.
Floating Reusable wax luminaries 4" Ivory $4.99 each
along with these
Large Floating Water Lilies Fuchsia (6" flower) $2.99 each

and then I will line the outside of the pool with wax luminaries.

Wow! Looove these ideas! The moving fountain would look like the Bellagio Hotel's fountains in Vegas. Can't go wrong with that!

What about a Gobo of your monogram/names in the pool, with pretty lighting?
Just in case someone doesn't know what a gobo is, here's a link: Gobos, Custom Gobos, Wedding Gobos, Gobo Projectors, Glass Gobos

I'm ordering the small glowing orbs from Save On Crafts.  They are easy to transport and you can change the colors.
