How To Create a Festive Red White and Blue Tablescape
Make your life easy by creating a simple table for the 4th of july. How To Create a Festive Red White and Blue Tablescape
Let your mind go wild when it comes to a patriotic tablescape. Set a patriotic tablescape that your family and friends can remember. That’s when I discovered the red white and blue fans. I knew fireworks won’t be the only thing that would be a hit. Since part of the festivities would be outside these fans will be handy for the July 4th evening. For more ideas on how to create a festive red, white blue tablescape read on!
Blue Hydrangeas
- I started by cutting flowers for my tablescape. These amazing flowers were from my sweet neighbor’s back yard. She let me clip some stems for my patriotic tablescape. I soaked them a day and made sure they didn’t have any bugs. I didn’t find any.
Bright and Blue Placemats
2. For placemats, I used the ones I purchased in Capri, Italy last year. They have the blue and white thing going and gave a Mediterranean vibe which is what my home decor is all about.
Floral Vases
3. For the floral vases, I recycled tomato sauce cans. I purchased 6 of them, made a red sauce for the family that evening, and cleaned out the cans. I was planning on painting them white but everyone said it looked great as they are. Maybe another time I can paint them. I added some glass beads inside the can and filled the can with water to the top. I cut the hydrangeas short so it was like a big ball of fluffy yarn.
Red, White & Blue Fans
4. I love these fans I found on Amazon. There are so many things you can do with them. I decided to add them to the plates as a decorative accent. Here is another decorative tip with the fans. I stuck them inside the hydrangea floral vase. For the purpose of this tablescape, I kept the fans on the plate.
I like to Thank Chloe Crabtree from Celebrate and Decorate for organizing another wonderful tablescape. Stop by and visit more talented blogger’s patriotic tables.

Those blue hydrangeas are gorgeous! How nice that your neighbor let you clip some! Mine just started to bloom and aren’t even close to being that fluffy yet! What a beautiful table – so festive for the 4th of July! Great to hop with you! (This might be a dupe comment…my original didn’t seem to take.)

Maria those fans would be a great item to give to our guest. Not only do they make a cute decor piece for your table but we all could use them as you said outside when we watch the fireworks. It will be hot on July 4th I am sure. Love your table and the blue hydrangeas. Very pretty.

Maria, I’ve been upcycling tin cans recently with paint and decoupage, but I’d forgotten how great they can look all on their own! I love the casual elegance of your table. Those Italian placemats are lovely! It was nice having you join us on the hop!
thanks so much, yes the raw tins cans are prety nice on there own.
I like that your fans serve double duty as decorations and to cool your guests off! They look great in with the hydrangeas as well. I hope you have a Happy 4th??

Hola María, acabo de conocer tu blog y por aquí me quedo admirando tus publicaciones. Has creado una deliciosa y patriótica mesa minimalista que transmite el espíritu de la Fiesta. Una idea genial aprovechar los botes e tomate, te tomo la idea. Seguiré visitándote, desde Barcelona, un beso grande
Gracias! thanks for visiting me.
What a lovely idea using the red, white and blue fans in your tablescape. They make such a lovely statement. They contrasts so nicely with your lovely placemats.
I am so happy you stopped by. Yeah those fans are a great find.
Maria, your placemats are the real stars of this tablescape! I love them, and what a great memento of Capri. I think it’s always so wonderful the way foods can play into a tablescape as summer berries do for the 4th. They’re a perfect pop at the end of the line of whimsical cans full of hydrangeas, the quintessential summer bloom. Happy summer!
Thanks so much, I do love those placemats. Great to see you again
