Red, White, and Blue, for Me and You on the 4th of July Tablescape
Another patriotic table setting s for 4th of July. I just love a red, white and blue tablescape!
The combination of stars and stripes is eye-catching!
I bought this melamine star plate at Sur la Table several years ago.
This dinner plate came from Sur la Table several years ago, I bought it on sale online. Their melamine plates are really good quality, a heavy plastic. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.
This large dinner/charger plate is from Pottery Barn, pattern is Cambria in red. A charger plate needs to be about 11”-12” in diameter and this plate is about 11 3/4”. I have this plate in a few other colors as well. It is microwave and dishwasher safe too.
I bought the frosted white flatware on sale online at Wayfair a few years ago, it is made by Cambridge. It is 18/0 so the fork tines are a bit sharper than I would like but I really liked the frosted color. Wayfair has really good sales on flatware sometimes. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here. Can’t remember where I bought the napkins, I have had them for a few years. The tablecloth came from Crate and Barrel, I have had it for a few years.
I used my red Waterford Marquis Brookside goblets again for this table setting. If you read my blog you have seen this goblet on many tablescapes. I think if I were starting a tablescaping hobby, a set of red goblets would be one of my first purchases. They can be used several times a year. I bought a set in clear too because I love the fact that they are a bit taller than other goblets and the design goes with everything. I bought the blue goblet at Pier 1 several years ago. I love this shade of blue and the etched design. I also like the height of the goblet. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying goblets (including the colors I use the most) for your tablescaping collection here.
These metal star place card holders really get a work out on my 4th of July tablescapes. I can’t remember where they came from.
This set of creamers or small pitchers makes me laugh. We are a two party household so when I saw them I had to have them. They are from Fitz and Floyd, I can’t remember where I bought them. I have had them for a long time.
I can’t remember where I bought the salt and pepper shakers. My family jokes because sometimes I put special salt and pepper shakers on the table and forget to fill them!
This Heartwood Creek angel was designed by Jim Shore in 2003. It is no longer being made. It is called “I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag”. It was licensed by Enesco Group, Inc.. I love her sweet little face. The angel is standing on my Pottery Barn Rhodes drink dispenser stand to give it a bit of height. I have a large collection of vintage doilies and I suddenly remembered that I had a few red, white, and blue ones. I really like how this doily adds a bit of excitement to this table.
Red, White, and Blue, for me and you!
