Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope your first week of summer is going well. Yesterday, we had beautiful sunny skies and a low temperature of fifty-seven degrees. That is extremely rare in June for the Deep South!
“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.”
1 Peter 2:16
Some of my favorite tablescapes are the red, white, and blue ones. As we celebrate Independence Day a week from this Sunday, I rounded up a few of my patriotic tablesettings. I hope you will be inspired to set your own table to celebrate the Fourth of July!
A patriotic garden table with mini American flags at each place setting!
A plate stack of red, white, and blue on a cherished checked tablecloth that was my beloved Mother’s!
“Freedom is one of the deepest and noblest aspirations of the human spirit.”
-Ronald Reagan
A garden table dressed in red, white, and blue with American flags as the star at each place setting!
A red watering can holds Nikko and Annabelle hydrangeas. A vintage tablecloth with a nautical theme which works well for summer or the 4th of July!
“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed, it must be achieved.”
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
Picnics and the Fourth of July go together like apple pie and ice cream!
The picnic table is set with sweet treats!
“May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.”
-Peter Marshall
Red, white, and blue tables make my patriotic heart sing!
Cutwork tablecloth and embroidered napkins add elegance to a simple table!
“I’d like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free and wanted other people to be also free.”
-Rosa Parks
A patriotic patio table was easily set by going through my stash of dinnerware and linens!
I love mixing patterns, can you tell?
We have hosted a combination of the 4th of July and my brother’s birthday at our home for years. This year I will not be in the kitchen preparing our traditional side dishes nor will Butch be firing up the grill. Instead, my brother and sister-in-love will be hosting our celebration. How will you be celebrating?
Thank you for your visit and gracious comments. Wishing you a most delightful day!

Great table combinations, Pam.
Thank you Rita.
Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue! It’s all so gorgeous Pam, Happy Friday ♥
Thank you Mary!
Happy Thursday…I need another cup of coffee this am 🙂
😂
Every picture is so inspiring! There are so many wonderful patriotic tablescapes you’ve had, and I love the quotations and verse. Rosa Parks was surely one of the bravest women in my lifetime. We will probably barbecue (the Bernard secret BBQ sauce makes some delicious chicken…I only had to be married 10 years before they would share it!)
Thank you Roxanne. I guess the Bernard family had to wait to see if your could be trusted with the recipe 😂
Beautiful Patriotic tables Pam. You always inspire me lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Aw, you are sweet…thank you, Cindy!
Beautiful tables Pam! Your table linens are gorgeous! Love the quilt and vintage tablecloth. The floral arrangements are so colorful. That’s such a pretty watering can and the vases are lovely too. Your glasses and dishware are always artfully displayed. Hope your 4th is a wonderful family day. Now, if we could just keep the pleasant weather from the past couple of days….We know it’s changing back to oppressive heat but we really enjoyed the respite! Happy Thursday! Clara❤️
Clara, this weather has been wonderful especially since our air conditioning went out.
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! I do hope your A/C is fixed quickly! Otherwise, you may be sleeping in the Sunshine Cottage. It’s great to have that option but nothing replaces your full sized home! Clara❤️
Clara, repair men have been out here three times and it still isn’t fixed. Yes, Sunshine Cottage is an option. So far, with the cooler temps, cloudy skies, and rain we have been ok.
I love all of your red, white and blues! So pretty.
Thanks so much Penny!
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! I can’t believe the 4th of July is merely 10 days away! All of your patriotic tables are gorgeous, I love those skinny blue vases holding the flags at each place…you have so many gorgeous red and blue accessories, linens and glasses! And the hydrangea arrangements are all swoon worthy~ you will be festive this 4th of July am I sure!
Jenna
Thanks Jenna. I know you will have a wonderful celebration with family!
Beautiful table! You’ve got a nice collection of blue bud vases and they work so well with this table.
Thank you Rachelle!
Such a beautiful roundup of stunning patriotic tables, Pam! Red, white, and blue always makes me smile! I’ve been so busy, I hadn’t realized that the Fourth of July is a week from Sunday. I can’t believe it! I guess I better get to planning our holiday. Happy Thursday, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon. Wishing you a wonderful 4th celebration with family!
Beautiful tables, Pam. The red, white and blue always tugs at my heart. The Fourth of July is such a special time of celebrating our freedom and all our many blessings. Happy 4th to you and your lovely family!
Thank you Sandra. Happy 4th to you and Michael!
Whoa! That IS a low temp for the deep South…or ANYWHERE in the U.S. this time of year!!!!!! Wow! Nice break, though, before the suffocating heat and humidity take over for that long summer stretch.
We used to celebrate my brother’s birthday (July 3) along with the 4th of July, too! He was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident back in 1999, so it has been a long time. Happy birthday to your brother!!!
Your newest as well as your past patriotic tables…perfection! I love those blue vases at the place settings! The bulbous shape at the bottom is so cool. And with your Mom’s tablecloth anchoring the whole look…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Alycia, what a sad loss of your brother. Thank you dear one!
You are definitely ready for July 4! It’s fabulous — such wonderful color combos and how festive. Each and every photo makes me smile!
I am happy for your smile, Jeanie!
Each table is a winner, so carefully imagined and assembled. The quotations strike at the heart of what the holiday is really all about… The last photo with the garden in the background is a stunner….paradiso…. Have a joyful and rewarding Fourth…
Thanks Mary. Happy 4th to you!
I love the red, white and blue!
What is the source for the embroidered napkins on the table with cutwork tablecloth?
Have a Happy and safe 4th!
Thanks!
Thank you Mildred. I sent you an email!
Well wasn’t that fun! Lots of happy tables for the 4th of July!
❤️🤍💙
Thank you Nancy!
With all the crazy stuff going on in our country this post reminds me to let go and remember the good that still exist. May we always honor the hard won values we have and never give them up. Red white and blue I proudly show and the flag is up and blowing in the breeze. All of your tables are just beautiful.
Alice, it is hard to let go. Thank you so much dear one!
Love each and every one. Is that salvia, the kinda wild looking red flower popping out of the flower arrangement? Fun to look at
Hi Gail, thanks so much. The red flower is crocosmia. It is a relative of the gladiolus.
Happy Weekend!
Happy 4th. All your tables are stunning and your quotes inspiring. Enjoy your family. Blessings my friend!
Thanks so much, Dianne. Have a lovely weekend!
Such beauty! Balm to the soul and feast to the eyes…Happy 4th!
Thanks so much Maristella!
Pam, I’m a red, white, and blue fan too. Especially for the summer months and alfresco meals. It’s fun to look back at all your inspiration here. Thank you. It’s a nice reference to have them linked. Happy 4th of July.
Thanks Sarah…Hooray for the red, white, and blue!
Hello Pam! I also love patriotic tablescape. Fun to see all your different table settings. Have a wonderful fourth! 😉
Thank you Elizabeth!
Back for another look at these inspiring tables, Pam!
Thank you Sarah!
An early happy birthday to your brother. Your tables are always inspiring and so beautifully set. Most 4th of July outdoor parties that I’ve been to are set with plastic tablecloths and paper plates. 😊 No matter how we celebrate, the most important thing is to remember that we are celebrating the freedom that we enjoy in our country.
Yes, paper and plastic are fine. It is important that we remember we are celebrating our freedom!
Pam,
All of these tables are stunning! I love red, white and blue together. I keep my patriotic/americana decor up from Memorial day to Labor day before I switch over to fall. It just screams summertime for me. Thank you as always for your beautiful displays. Happy Independence Day!
Thanks so much Lynda. Wishing you a wonderful Independence Day!
Pam, the transferware dishes and hydrangeas bring a dignified appeal to your July 4th table. I love the look. Thanks for sharing at the FWF link party 🙂
My pleasure and thank you Rachelle!
