1. Flags Up, Party On!

Start by laying down the beautiful white and red striped linen table runner as the base, providing a striking backdrop for the rest of the elements.

Add the woven rattan chargers for texture.

Place the pale blue ceramic plates with a wavy edge on top of the chargers for an unexpected hue of blue.

Next place the white bowls on top of the plates.

The plates and bowls are part of the same collection but I love the idea of mixing up the colors.

Fold the blue and white fruit and floral cloth napkins and place them next to the left hand side of the plates.

You can opt for a simple fold or get creative and tie them in a knot.

Add in the stunning white and gold flatware.

For a vibrant pop of color add in the red hobnail drinking glasses to each place setting.

Use the small star bowls for dipping sauces or for mixed nuts for guests to nibble on prior to the meal being served.

The long white dot platter will beautifully showcase your culinary creations, whether it’s grilled favorites or a refreshing salad.

Include a touch of natural beauty with a vase of white hydrangeas as your centerpiece.

Nestle the small American flags into the hydrangeas for a combination that is both elegant and festive.

Finally, add a bit of fun to the table by placing the red biodegradable confetti cannon poppers to each place setting.

2. Let’s Make This Party Berry Fun!

Begin with the blue and white linen table runner as the foundation to your table.

In the center of the table place the rattan pedestal bowl.

Fill the bowl with live strawberry plants (leaving them in their containers for the party to not ruin the bowl).

This is such a unique take on fresh flowers, plus ties in beautifully with the cloth strawberry napkins.

These gorgeous taupe colored dinner plates tie into the color of the pedestal bowl and are neutral enough to make the red, white and blue elements pop.

On top of the dinner plates add the small footed blue tulip bowls to each setting.

These charming bowls could be used for fruit or even ice cream to end the evening.

The cute long red gingham platter will serve as a focal point perfect for displaying an array of side dishes or the main meal.

Add a touch of fun with the blue and gold flatware.

Set out the rose colored wine glasses ready to be filled with a signature beverage (wine glasses aren’t just for wine!).

Complete the look with a bit of whimsy by adding the bee stir sticks to each guest’s drink.

3. Let’s Make This Party Go Off With a Bang!

Place the placemats down as the base for the patriotic table setting.

The single bold red stripe of the placemat sets a canvas for the rest of the elements to shine.

The blue napkins with the white stars adds a touch of Americana to each place setting.

The plates are reminiscent of an eye-catching fireworks display making your table a dazzling spectacle for the holiday.

Serve drinks in rattan wrapped glassware that are perfect for sipping a refreshing beverage but also adding a rustic and summery touch to the table setting.

Complement the rustic feel with the wood flatware which adds some warmth to the table.

On top of each place setting, set a packet of daisy seeds.

These can be used to write each guest’s name so they know where to sit or as a party favor for your guests to take home.

In lieu of candles add a touch of ambient lighting with a pair of battery operated rechargeable red cordless lamps.

This unique addition will cast a warm glow over the table and an inviting atmosphere for guests to dine and mingle.

The ceramic navy serving tray screams for the classic hot dogs or hamburgers to be placed on top.

Use the star cocktail picks to hold the hot dogs or hamburgers together.

For a playful twist, use French fry cone holders as a creative way to display snacks or appetizers if you’re not serving French fries.

As an added surprise let guests cool off with a snow cone maker, serving up refreshing icees with organic cherry or blueberry syrup.

Final words on these 3 classy and simple 4th of July party table setting ideas…

Every element in all three ideas was carefully curated to create a visually stunning and festive ambiance.

Not having every item on the table be stars and stripes allows you to use the pieces for countless other occasions.

For example, just imagine pulling out the red table lamps or gingham platter for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

The possibilities are endless!

But the most important thing is creating unforgettable memories of a joyous occasion shared around the table with family and friends.
