The Fourth of July is right around the corner! \u00a0Check out these tips to create a simple centerpiece with a functional and festive look that works for your home and celebrations too!<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Fourth of July is always so fun and is definitely one of my favorite holidays. \u00a0Partly because my birthday is July 2nd and our anniversary is July 5th…there’s always lots of fun celebrations already happening!<\/p>\n I think I also love holidays like this because they don’t have to be big or fancy.<\/strong> \u00a0They don’t require redecorating an entire house and they definitely don’t need to cost a lot. \u00a0In fact, just a few simple touches, added to your existing summer decor, is all you need! \u00a0The red, white, and blue is so festive and stands on its own!<\/strong><\/p>\n While patriotic tablescapes are so beautiful, in real life we are usually running around with disposable plates, hot dogs, kids everywhere, and not necessarily sitting down for a pretty dinner! \u00a0If you’re in the same boat, hopefully this centerpiece helps you out too!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pic-1-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pic 1″ admin_label=”IMG 1″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pic-2-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pic 2″ admin_label=”IMG 2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”table elements” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Elements-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Elements” admin_label=”IMG pic of elements” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”tray vignette: grain sack” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First of all, I started with a soft layer, using one of my vintage grain sacks.<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u00a0I love the touch of blue stripe for year-round use and it also works well for a red, white, and blue patriotic table runner<\/a><\/strong><\/span> too!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Grain-sack-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Grain sack” url=”https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+JI7vx1o9qEfWn6P7X90_iA” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMG pic of grain sack” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”tray vignette: crate” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Secondly, I added this vintage crate from Dreamy White Lifestyle. \u00a0If you don’t have a vintage crate, no worries! \u00a0Even a simple wooden tray like THIS<\/strong><\/span><\/a> will look great! \u00a0Take a look around your home and pull out any kind of basket or wooden tray!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pic-of-crate–scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pic of crate” admin_label=”IMG pic of crate” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”tray vignette: wooden stand” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The next thing I added was this wooden cake stand<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0It is my favorite because I love the mix of marble and wood<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, plus it is a budget-friendly piece with a high-end look!<\/p>\n Stands like this<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>are great to use in table vignettes, since it is a kitchen\/dining related item and adds height to a vignette. \u00a0At the same time, it can hold more than food!<\/p>\n I added a small stack of dessert dishes and a jar with my favorite matte gold flatware<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0 When I create table vignettes, I love to make them functional for everyday use but also pretty! \u00a0I added one of my blue stripe cloth napkins<\/strong><\/span><\/a> under the stack of dishes. \u00a0Just that little touch softens the whole look and gives it a casual, lived-in style.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pic-of-wooden-stand-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pic of wooden stand” admin_label=”IMG pic of wooden stand” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”greenery and flag centerpiece” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Since I want to leave this centerpiece out for a couple of weeks PLUS, I wanted to make it really budget-friendly<\/strong>, I opted for fresh greenery from my yard rather than flowers. \u00a0While the palm branches we have here in Florida work great with my coastal decor, you can take advantage of whatever is growing and blooming around your area!<\/p>\n I added 5 medium-size palm branches to a vintage European pickling jar<\/strong><\/span>.<\/a>\u00a0 These jars are some of my favorite vases because they make even a few, FREE branches from my yard look special and pretty!<\/strong> \u00a0In my second jar, which is a little larger, I added 3 vintage American flags. \u00a0I found these 48 star flags on our family trip to Alaska…which was a fun thing since Alaska is the 49th state!<\/p>\n THIS pack of American flags<\/strong><\/span><\/a> on wooden sticks will be a perfect combination to add to a favorite vase or vintage vessel for your own patriotic bouquet!<\/p>\n Lastly, I added this smaller woven vase (a personal favorite for summer!)<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>with a few more smaller palm branches. \u00a0The combination of 3 jars\/vases together make a great centerpiece!<\/p>\n Tip: Combine any 3 jars\/vases for a centerpiece, making sure they are 3 different heights! \u00a0This will give you a great look with lots of dimension and character.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pic-of-flags-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pic of flags” admin_label=”IMG pic of flags” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”wrap up” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n I hope this simple centerpiece idea has sparked a few ideas of how you can use things you may already have to create a functional, casual, everyday centerpiece to enjoy over the holiday!<\/p>\n For more patriotic table inspiration, I hope you’ll visit these two friends!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”COURTNEY- ADD BLOG LINK” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Courtney has some of the best vintage collections and finds such creative and fun ways to style them for all the seasons and holidays. \u00a0If you love vintage, don’t miss reading\u00a0 Courtney’s blog<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and checking out her Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/span> also!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Vettel-Farm.jpg” title_text=”Vettel Farm” url=”https:\/\/thevettelfarm.com\/5-vintage-fourth-of-july-tablescape-ideas\/” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”Courtney IMG ” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”CYNTHIA- ADD BLOG LINK” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Cynthia is a perfect example of using layers to add texture and dimension in a neutral decor style. \u00a0I love how she mixes old and new!
