let's set an easy red, white & blue table

My favorite way of adding just a touch of red, white and blue to a table is to use red transferware and blue transferware plates combined with a pretty set of napkins like this Aster print from August Table.

This is such an easy look to put together and could be used for Memorial Day, 4th of July, and right through to the end of summer!

The secret to making this table fun is the three-dimensional fan fold of the napkin. It’s really easy to do. Just check out my tutorial HERE.

This Aster print napkin from August Table is so perfect for this technique, because of the fun and cheery pattern. I know they’re flowers, but they remind me of 4th of July fireworks! 

Also, a necessity, fun napkin rings like THESE.

Here’s the fanned napkin look again, this time in a different color palette and with the Juniper Slate napkins from August Table.

 

And now here’s a third look, back to the patriotic theme with some vintage napkins from Serena & Lily. 

I’m hoping for some sunny weather for the weekend so we can set up a fun table outside with these cute Aster napkins, and lots of other red, white and blue details.

 

An easy dessert tip that I love is to get a yummy store-bought cake, like this one from Trader Joe’s, and dress is up with a few strawberries, blackberries and raspberries like I did here.

 

It only takes a minute, but ends up looking so cute and festive!
