| Red, white and blue is the theme for Independence Day of course! |
 |
| I wanted to use a variety of blue and red dishes but it was kinda overwhelming. So I stuck to some basic pieces. |
 |
| Red salad dishes were a Crate and Barrel find -- blue Queen's dinner plates were purchased at TJMaxx. |
 |
| These plates have become one of my very favorite sets! The blue and white goes with everything. |
 |
| From our 2nd story sunroom, we can see the fireworks display each year. |
 |
| Side table is set up with some sparklers for the kids -- along with cupcakes and red, white and blue reusable straws. |
 |
| From above... |
 |
| The red and blue candlesticks were perfect for a centerpiece. In the right setting, they have a 'firecracker' appearance! I put a little bit of mylar garland around the top of each candlestick and then grouped the rest of it at the base of the candlesticks to create the centerpiece. |
 |
| These gorgeous glass candlesticks were a gift to me from my Aunt. I have been so anxious to use them in a tablescape! |
 |
| Red flatware and napkins with blue placemats. |
 |
| Purchased cupcakes and I put them into patriotic cupcake liners with little paper toppers. A huge grouping of these on the 4th of July really makes a "bang!" |
 |
| My favorite thing when I was young (and yes, today!) -- I especially love the giant sparklers! |
 |
| Clear stemware with a simple blue rim. |
 |
| Such an easy centerpiece! |
 |
| Lighting the candles in the evening. Boats cruise by all night long in the summer. Fireworks start about 10 pm or when it gets dark. We have the perfect seats for the show! |
 |
| Dinner by fireworks! |
