Tips for a Fabulous Fourth of July Party!

July 2, 2012

MDE is really looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July this week! We love the quintessential American summer soirees and the use of red, white and blue color schemes. We also love how the patriotic scheme can be incorporated into all the party decor, food and beverages!

.

Sticking pinwheels and flags into your centerpieces can give the floral arrangements a whimsical twist that incorporates your Americana theme into the decorations!

Red velvet cupcakes (our Rachel’s favorite!) make great Fourth of the July desserts! Just add some some fun red, white and blue sprinkles and you’ve got a festive dessert! To make your cupcakes extra celebratory, you can pick out your adorable cupcake picks here!

All party guests love favors and how cute are these gum-ball tubes!? They won’t melt and can be found at your local grocery store! The tubes can be found at a craft store and the printables can be found here!
