Boxwood is decked out in red, white, and blue and I am so excited to bring you some delightful ideas for celebrating the upcoming 4th of July in true patriotic style! Independence Day is a family-favorite occasion to celebrate in the summer, and what better way to honor it than by dressing our homes with festive 4th of July themes? With the holiday just around the corner, we often have customers come in asking for elements to add to their tables. So we’ve gathered up a few favorite elements we have in shop to add a touch of red, white, and blue to your home!

Start with a crisp white tablecloth as your base, and layer it with patriotic-themed table runners or placemats. We’ve found that paper is the easiest for clean up! Try the Kraft Navy & Red Awning Stripe Runner, a paper runner that adds a patriotic flare to your table! For an elegant touch, consider using red charger plates as the foundation for each place setting. Or to add a little more personality, use our Watermelon Placemats or our Stars on Blue Placemats to complete the setting! This will add a pop of color and create a cohesive look with the theme. Sparkling glassware with a hint of blue or red will beautifully complement the theme. Our Cobalt Blue Caspari Acrylic Goblets are a stunning contrast against the reds and whites on your table. As the evening sun goes down, illuminate your table with red Zafferano Cordless Lamps. These have been our best sellers and truly a perfect item to add to an outdoor table! Don’t fuss with candles or cords, use these rechargeable lamps to light your dinner.

If you're looking to capture the essence of summer by the sea, a nautical-themed tablescape is the perfect choice. Use our Life Preserver Placemats from Hester & Cook  as your base for white dinner plates, and complete the look with blue napkins or these adorable red Caspari Lobster napkins. A summer nautical theme transports your table to a relaxing, coastal retreat! 

For a more casual and laid-back summer gathering, try a BBQ-themed tablescape. This charming and relaxed tablescape will set the stage for a mouthwatering BBQ feast celebrating all the best elements of summer. Best of summer? Watermelon and popsicles! That's why we loved these whimsical paper mats! Hester & Cook has the sweetest Rocket Pop accents to add around your table. Checkered tablecloths are another classic picnic staple, so we love how these red painted check napkins bring in that same look!

With just a few elements, you’ll create a visually stunning and patriotic dining experience that will leave your guests in awe and set the stage for an unforgettable 4th of July celebration or summer cookout! We’re here to assist you in finding the perfect décor, tableware, and accessories to make your celebrations truly memorable. Let us be a part of your journey in transforming your home into a charming haven of red, white, and blue!
