The 4th of July is all about the colors red, white and blue. You can be creative and use any shades of blue and red to create a spectacular tablescape as Southern Home & Hospitality has done with her table.

3. Bohemian Tablescape

Sticking to the colors of red, white and blue, doesn’t mean you’re limited with the design and this bohemian tablescape by Breezy Designs proves that.

With a macrame runner on top of a detailed blue tablecloth, you get a fun bohemian vibe. Add American flags and red and white flowers to complete the look.

4. Old Fashioned Table Decor

5. Fun USA Party

Opt for a fun tablescape with big USA letters, flags and lots of jars of candy in red white and blue. It’s ideal for a younger crowd who don’t need the nostalgic and vintage look.

6. Stars and Stripes For All

This table decor has a ton of detail that’s relatively easy to put together and a lot of fun too. Create a wow effect by hanging stars and stripes paper fans from the ceiling.

8. Patriotic Buffet Table

A buffet table is always a good idea when you’re hosting a crowd. You don’t need to serve since everything is on the table, and it’s easy for everyone to mingle.

Decorate the table in red, white and blue, and for extra patriotism, try using some food in the color scheme too. These finger food ideas are great when hosting a lot of people.

9. Picnic Party

Backyard picnic parties are so much fun for the Fourth of July, especially since the weather is usually beautiful. Host a barbeque, finger food or food boards for a fun menu.

To decorate Young & Specs says, one of the best tricks is to mix prints, patterns and textures, and as you can see it creates a beautiful scene.

10. Flags Galore Tablescape

Opt for a plainer table, allowing the centrepiece to steal the show. The centrepiece is made from patriotic flags, pinwheels and a few fireworks.

Follow the tutorial on Between Naps On The Porch to make those adorable denim napkin holders. Decorate each plate with a blue or red rocking chair and a cupcake in the center.

11. Classy 4th Of July Tablescape

Simple yet classy is how I’d describe this stunning tablescape. Use a striped blue and white table runner, red and blue plates and blue hydrangeas with red hypericum berries to complete the look.

For a little out-of-the-box touch, Celebrations At Home added a small colander on each plate filled with strawberries. How cute does it look?!
