4th of July Tablescapes, Festive Decor & Party Finds
How Not to Stress About a Red, White & Blue Table
It’s the simple tablescapes I like best! Inspired By This (below) proves anxiety is optional when you entertain with their tips.
White flowers, a blue striped runner, and fresh berries combine for a lovely yet easy formula for the table!
I don’t know about you, but I am terrified of assembling layer cakes. Then I see this naked cake (above) and think, “I can do that.” Remember you can simplify/deconstruct a store-bought layer cake as well to transform it into something like the one above.

Sweet American Flag Plates
Don’t you love the nostalgia of glassware like this!?! I remember drinking iced tea in those in the 70s!

Here’s an idea for flag plates if you need them:
Homemade Little Flags
Aren’t these flags a sweet touch?

I love the simplicity of the little blue gingham and red stripe fabric casually tied to the flags.

Is anyone else craving ribs and cornbread this very moment!?!

Tablescape Idea: Galvanized Charger with Flag
I love this casual look and was disappointed when Pottery Barn discontinued these galvanized chargers:
However, it’s a simple enough DIY.

So to get this look:

Start with browsing flag and star stencils as well as…
plain galvanized chargers:

There’s definitely a pattern emerging in all these ideas: layering plates for each placesetting, gingham accents, and striped table runners.
Red, White & Blue Summer Entertaining Inspiration
Blue hydrangea are so perfect in a rustic wood box for a long centerpiece:

Even faux would work if you can’t find the fresh.

Blue & White China Layered With Small Flag
It truly is all about the color story on the 4th of July.
Blue and white china looks so great with a simple little flag at each placesetting.
These would be so pretty with a flag or red napkin on top:
They are very “Coastal Grandmother” friendly, yes?
![Chambray tile stoneware plates from Pottery Barn on a beautiful summery table. #summertablescape #chambray](https://www.hellolovelystudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/image-45.png)
The chambray embroidered table throw is gorgeous too for all summer long:
You could also tuck a little flag inside a napkin ring:
Isn’t this a stunning combination?
If you love traditional style, you may be a collector of blue and white porcelain vases, urns, and ginger jars. What a great occasion to bring them out!
Nostalgia & American Red, White and Blue
This assemblage is a call to collect red, white, and blue vintage all through the year and gather it for seasonal decor in July.
Do those containers bring back memories?

Classic 4th of July Placemats
You could always stencil a flag (see the flag stencils above) on these too:
The color of the lobster is festive as well!
These woven pieces will never fall from favor and can be brought into service all summer long.

when it comes to celebrate I guess only the Spaniards can beat the Americans. Such a nice table setting which
shows that not only food is important.
