Hi friends! It’s been a while since we have checked in. The three of us actually got together for a little retreat in Scottsdale since our last post, so we have lots of plans for fun things we will be sharing coming up for the holidays. We are so excited to share our eighth post in our blog hop; Holiday Hosting at Home!  Today, we are sharing some inspirations for any patriotic parties you may be planning…specifically, July 4th, which is right around the corner.

Holiday Hosting at Home #8: Patriotic Parties

Here is what my friends have been sharing.  These gorgeous ideas could be used for July 4th, Memorial Day or even Flag Day. If you would like to pin any of these images, please go to the original post linked below each image.  You will want to see their whole posts anyway because there is so much inspiration in each of these posts.

To Have + To Host

Lory actually hosted us in her hometown of Scottsdale for our retreat and we got to sit around this table and gab, plan, laugh and spend time with Lory’s family. We also enjoyed some VERY lovely wine with our dinner! One of my favorite parts of her table setting here is the centerpiece…so elegant, yet festive for the occasion. And, you know how I love using table runners under my place settings. Lory nailed that here!

4th of July Party: Red and Blue Chic

Home with Holly J

This whole patriotic theme has me a little emotional with regard to Holly Jolley. Her son has just committed to serving our great country through our military and I could not be more grateful for his service. Holly created this table setting with her mother and other family members which makes it even more special! The way this all came together is a really special story that you should check out!

Just noticing that Holly and Lory are using the exact same placemats for their table settings. Go figure….!!

I created this outdoor Patriotic Party for Memorial Day but just posted the details of it in time for July 4th. It was so cozy to be in the middle of our yard under the trees. Using the traditional colors of red, white and blue helped create the festive look without it being too overdone with flags, etc.
