“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”
Galatians 5:13
Hello sweet friends and I am always thrilled that you are! I have joined with 18 creative table stylists to bring you tabletop inspiration for your 4th of July celebrations. A special thank you to Chloe @ Celebrate & Decorate for organizing this blog hop!
During the spring, summer, and fall seasons my tablescapes are most often set in the garden!
You can find the links for all the red, white, and blue tablescape inspiration at the bottom of this post.
I love patriotic tablescapes anytime, not just on holidays…they are always appropriate!
Each place setting has an American flag that I placed inside a cobalt vase. The mini flags are great as a takeaway gift for your guests. A trio of flags are in the background!
Navy blue placemats anchor off-white chargers and Spode “Blue Italian” dinner plates…star napkin rings hold bold red napkins!
Favorite stemware graces the table with red/white striped straws. It is so easy and inexpensive to add little touches of patriotic decor like the flags and straws to everyday white dinnerware. You don’t have to spend a lot to have a festive holiday table!
“I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it.”
-John Thune
The centerpiece is blue hydrangeas and Annabelle’s from my friend’s hydrangea farm. I repurposed them from yesterday’s post that you can see here if you missed “Celebrating The Red, White, & Blue. The red watering can was the perfect vessel to hold these large showstopper blooms!
The vintage table topper was a gift from my long-time and very special friend, Patti. It has a nautical theme which works well with summer and 4th of July!

Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!”

Pam, My heart beats Red, White and Blue and I always love your garden tables so this week’s table is a stand out for me! I love your cheery red watering can as a centerpiece with those gorgeous big hydrangea blooms. In my next life, I want to have a hydrangea farm…what a treat to pick blooms there! The cobalt vases are perfect to proudly wave a flag at each place setting and I adore your nautical table topper! As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and blog hop with you this week…Long May She Wave 💙🇺🇸❤️
Thank you Mary, the hydrangea farm is amazing!
Stunning red, white, and blue patriotic post. Your large red watering can holding the gorgeous white and blue hydrangeas boldly accents the unique vintage topper from your friend, Patti.

Have a wonderful July 4th!

Dear Pam, a lovely, lovely table. The hydrangeas in your red watering can are perfect and the cobalt vases with the flag are such a nice touch. You always offer such amazing inspiration. And, it is time to begin planning our July 4th celebrations! Have a wonderful day and week, my friend.❤
Thank you Sandra. I know your celebrations will be wonderful ❤️🇺🇸💙
My fellow proud American, dear Pam. I couldn’t imagine anything topping yesterday’s post, but you sure knocked it out of the park again! I particularly love the blue bud vases each holding an American flag. And your wonderful scripture and quotations are just wonderful.
Do you know what variety of grass is planted amongst your stones? It is so thick and lush!
Thank you dear Roxanne. The grass is zoysia, it is so thick and truly feels like a carpet.
Those hydrageas are a perfect centerpiece, just gorgeous flowers! Wonderful patriotic table.
Thank you Carole!
The hydrangea blooms are so stunning Pam, and arranged in the red watering can in your garden setting they look even more beautiful! The tablecloth is perfect with the ocean theme to go with “from sea to shining sea!” Love the personal flag vases and the idea of the flag as a party favor, hooray for the red, white and blue!
Jenna
Thank you Jenna, yes hooray for the red, white, and blue…long may it wave!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It is always a joy to see your tables set in your beautiful garden. What better setting for a table is there than a garden? I had trouble looking at anything other than that bold red watering can abundantly full of those gorgeous hydrangea blooms. The blue glass bottles are the perfect vases for displaying the little flags. Thank you for once again sharing your talents with another hop!
Thank you Chloe for making these blog hops possible!
Ingenious – inspired and inspiring !!! You haven’t missed a beat and in such a beautiful garden setting for extra measure. What a proud way to celebrate the great heritage of our Nation.

Thank you dear Shirley! Working on that hydrangea post.
Pam, your table is stunning amidst your garden. How special to have a neighbor who has a hydrangeas farm. Those flowers are gorgeous in the red watering can. Love the flags proudly waving in each cobalt blue vase at each setting. Always a pleasure to see your inspirational tables.

Pam, as I type these words, I am looking out my window at…rain gently falling, and I was imagining your beautiful gardens having been kissed by the rain and then looking so crisp, fresh and… simply stunning. You have the perfect backdrop for your Spring, Summer and Fall tablescapes. So don’t stop showcasing your gorgeous tables in your garden. 🙂
Now, for your table. The red watering can is so pretty with your huge hydrangeas. How beautiful are they? I don’t believe we have hydrangea farms here in SW Florida but we used to be the Gladiolus Capital!!
I love everything on your table my friend. Hugs and blessings.
Thank you dear Kari. I love celebrating the red, white, and blue. I planted glads this year and I so hope they bloom!

Pam, I love this so much. I’m sure the setting in the garden plays a big part, but the colors on your table are just so striking. The particular hues of your choices of red & blue just resonate with what appeals to me in the vases, stemware and napkins. There truly is no other symbol that so richly symbolizes our freedom than that flag!
Thank you Rita. The flag definitely symbolizes our freedom 🇺🇸
