Simplicity is
a key to July 4th celebrations.
Families want to spend time with each other not
decorating and fussing. Remember
this with your decorations!
Use balloons anchored throughout the area (of course, in
red, white & blue), have them filled with helium and tied
with ribbon so they flutter in the wind.
Streamers are also a favourite American tradition for
decoration so use them everywhere!
Table
decorations and centrepieces should be bright and informal also.
Take a simple arrangement of red carnations and embellish
it with flags, stars and an assortment of greenery.
Depending on your budget, you could substitute the
carnations for red roses or even blue roses.
Let your
snacks guide your table decorations.
Blue corn chips and red salsa served in painted (red,
white and blue) baskets can serve two purposes for you.
Also place jugs of lemonade and ice tea on the tables
(consider adding red and blue food coloring to the drinks).
For your
tablecloths, consider going with all white tablecloth and then
add blue and red streamers to act as table runners.
Secure the streamers at the middle of the table and let
the ends of them blow throughout the night.
Place blue and red candles with red, white and blue
balloons in the center. Or instead of white tablecloths, use red
and white-checkered tablecloths, which are considered a symbol
of the American picnic.
If you love
this holiday – why not celebrate America’s Birthday and your
wedding together next year?
We have a Dazzling July 4th Wedding
that offers tons of different ideas for you to incorporate the
two together!
