A Patriotic Table Setting for July Fourth

Revel in the red, white, and blue at a patriotic table that pays homage to breezy summertime and the American spirit.

FESTIVE FLAIR

An outdoor tablescape swathed in freedom’s favorite trio of shades is ready for Independence Day fanfare. A linen tablecloth sets the scene with stripes spanning red, white, and two tones of blue. Matching napkins reinforce the scheme, tied together with rings that call to mind the fireworks to come.

TRIED AND TRUE

A scalloped place mat makes way for a dinner dish trimmed in crimson swirls, topped by a salad plate with a cobalt mosaic fish motif. Ivory roses, fiery daisies, and sky-hued hydrangeas star in the centerpiece, while miniature versions create a colorful ripple effect down the table. Nautical elements impart a coastal aesthetic. Complete the look with pearlescent-handle flatware and mouth-blown tumblers with classic ruby stripes.
