Setting the Memorial Day Table

Kim Seybert

 

This is a fun take on setting a red, white, and blue table that is beachy and summery. Blue and white stripes are used in the placemats and napkins. 

Red, White & Blue HomeGoods Find

CCC

Memorial Day falls quite early this year - May 25th and, of course, the Fourth of July will be a big deal this year with our nation's 250th. I was in New York City for the 200th and still remember the Tall Ships and the fireworks. I will also be hosting a Fourth of July Wine Tasting & Pairing and have started thinking about red, white, and blue decorations. I just found these fabulous wicker indoor and oudoor Stars and Stripes hot air balloons at HomeGoods. 

Red, White & Blue Summer Dressing

Since this is Memorial Day weekend, let's look at some great summer pieces in red, white, and blue. These are classics for summer dressing.

Red, White, & Blue for the Holidays

Saatchi Art

 

This display of red flowers in blue and white Chinese porcelain ginger jars and vases is wonderful inspiration for the holidays. I am not personally a fan of floral bouquets with mixed flowers and colors. I love using one color for maximum impact and drama - this is a stunning example.

My Favorite Memorial Day Sales

A red, white, and blue color palette need not be kitschy. Here, a red, white, and blue color scheme is made far more sophisticated by including coral and turquoise in the mix.

Coastal Chinoiserie Style

Mark and Graham

This table setting is the essence of coastal style with its blue and white color palette and touches of chinoiserie. Pops of color are via the yummy food - red lobster, black mussels, and yellow corn.
