I love the Fourth of July holiday! It’s such a festive opportunity to gather with family and friends, celebrate independence, and of course, decorate! Red, white, and blue are such summery colors and this holiday, for many, nudges summer vacation into full glory–so it’s the perfect time to celebrate using this festive trio! I don’t know about you, but by the time the 4th of July comes around I’ve finally gotten into the swing of our new summer schedule…or lack there of…and I’m ready to embrace all the wonderful things about it! As the long holiday weekend approaches, my family is looking forward to relatives and long-distance friends paying us a call! And with so many opportunities to entertain, I welcome easy decorations that will help me pull off some holiday displays to greet guests as well as treat my family to some extra festivity! This effortless 4th inspired table decor is just right to leave out and enjoy for many meals preceding the actual holiday and still perfect to delight guests who will sit around the patriotic table!

a patriotic runner is topped off with simple flower arrangements, candles, and containers filled with colorful, holiday nibbles!
my painted mason jars have gone a long way this year…i use them everywhere! they’re so cute as vases but i especially love them as candles with the soft light glowing through! and i kind-of love the touch of gold added to the traditional holiday colors!
simple flowers arrangements from the garden add something fresh. i was lucky to have blooms in patriotic colors but any single color would do!
mismatched cordial and champagne glasses hold a variety of holiday candy & treats!
candies and cookies look so festive sprinkled down the table…guests can nibble on their favorites or take a handful for the road!
my dishes have been refilled several times! but no matter, a few bags of goodies go a long way in such tiny containers! just enough to look patriotically tasty!
it’s never been so easy to…
