July 4, 1776 was the day we declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain and the United States of America was born. Nowadays, it is the perfect day to prepare a nice gathering with friends and family to celebrate America’s Birthday.
Here are 4 things to help you celebrate this special day:
Flower Arrangements:
Create some brightness and patriotism in your home, on your table and/or patio with inviting flower arrangements that say “America.” Red, white and blue daisies or roses are your best friends for this celebratory occasion.
Cloth Patio Covering:
Besides giving an attractive splash to your patio, try hanging some patio coverings. These little pieces of cloth optically expand your patio by giving it a far more spacious look. Perfect for the smaller patio or porch!
Pillows:
Make your guests comfortable with decorative pillows! Enhance the look of your sofas and chairs by adding some patriotic flair that will allow them to relax and enjoy the festivities.
Cocktail Umbrellas
Treat your guests to a delicious beverage, but don’t forget the aesthetics. Try using cocktail umbrellas to garnish and give those drinks a patriotic splash!
