CHIC AND YE SHALL FIND

I have been collecting Pinterest ideas for our annual July 4th party for years and I have even blogged about our past parties, but this year with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I thought it might be fun to share some of those ideas with you.

I will be posting a series of blogs to share some outstanding style ideas that you can use to host a memorable Indenpendence Day event. I am starting with outdoor decor, which will be followed by table settings, centerpieces, napkins, party favors, BUFFETS, charcuterie (both savory and sweet), food that is patriotic in design, desserts and finally crafts.

I think outdoor decor is pretty simple, but there are some lovely ideas to share. Whether you are on land or in a boat, these are keepers.

THIS DOOR DESIGN BY "HOME IS WHERE THE BOAT IS" IS A FAVORITE OF MINE BECAUSE SHE USES AN ANTIQUE PLATTER IN THE BASKET.

WREATHS ARE VERY POPULAR BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST INSERT A FLAG, OR YOU COULD USE A VARIETY OF RIBBONS TO CREATE A "RIBBON TASSEL" WHICH IS A RELATIVELY NEW NEW IDEA. I HAVE SEEN THE "TASSEL" AT THE TOP OF A WREATH OR AT THE BOTTOM AS A MONOGRAMED "MAN'S TIE."
