Stars and Stripes on a 4th of July Tablescape

It’s time for a 4th of July tablescape. I bought this cotton red and white striped tablecloth on Amazon a few years ago. I used it last summer on my Bathing Beauties Tablescape, you can see that tablescape here. While I was creating that tablescape I was thinking about how I could use the same tablecloth this summer on a 4th of July tablescape. I knew I wanted to use white stars on a navy blue background on top of the red stripe tablecloth like the design of the American Flag.

Sur La Table Holiday Plates

These small melamine blue star shaped plates with white stars came from Sur La Table several years ago. The set also has red plates with white stripes. You can see the red and white plates on a 4th of July tablescape that I did three years ago here.

These white melamine star shaped dinner plates came from Kohl’s several years ago. I bought them in red, white, and blue. They are fun plates to use for patriotic holidays. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying dinner plates here.

Mikasa Color Spectrum Chargers

This charger was made by Mikasa and the pattern was called Color Spectrum. They came in several different colors and this color was Royal Blue, I love this shade of blue. I bought them on Ebay several years ago, a few at a time as I saw them until I had the number that I needed. I have this charger in other colors as well.

Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix Flatware

This flatware set is called Milano Red Ginkgo International LePrix. I have had this set for years but it is still for sale. I am not sure where I bought it. I use it often when I need a more informal red flatware set for a tablescape. You can see it on a Candy Cane Christmas tablescape that I did here. You can read my blog post about what to consider when you are buying flatware here.

Patriotic Flag Napkins

I can’t remember where I found the cotton flag napkins because I have had them for several years but it was probably Etsy. When I bought the wood star napkin rings they were brown but Hubby painted them white for me because I knew I would use them more often if they were white. I can’t remember where I bought them. They are a great match for the white stars on the small plates. It’s good to remember that whatever you are looking at for a tablescape can often be painted if you need a different color.

I bought these patriotic USA place card holders online at Pier 1 several years ago. You can read my blog post for ideas about how to store napkin rings and place card holders here.

I can’t remember where I found the red glass goblet last year. I found the blue plastic goblet on the right at HomeGoods a few years ago. They were made by Rachel Zoe. They are the perfect color for this tablescape but I can’t recommend buying them because it took a great deal of effort to get the labels off of the outside of the bowl and the bottom. Usually I can soak things in water for a bit and the labels will come right off but these goblets took Goo-Gone and lots of elbow grease to get the labels off, very time consuming, and a real pain! 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.

Grandin Road Flag Centerpiece

This centerpiece is always a show stopper when I post a photo of it and I just love it. I bought it four years ago at Grandin Road online and they sold out fairly quickly. I put windmills in it last year for a 4th of July tablescape and you can see that table setting here. I like it better with flags. Someday I will try flowers on it. I used this centerpiece on another 4th of July tablescape two years ago with a very different table setting. You can see that tablescape here.

Sur La Table Patriotic Candle

I have a weakness for Americana decor, for several years our family room was decorated with patriotic red, white, and blue. When I saw these candles at Sur La Table online last year I knew I could use them on 4th of July tablescapes. I added one to each side of the centerpiece.

I love decorating for the 4th of July! I have created several different Fourth of July Tablescapes during the past several years. You can see six other 4th of July tablescapes that I have done here.
