4t h o f July Party B y Pa i n t i n g Pa ri s p i n k

As a summer lovin’ gal and the mother of a daughter with a July 4th birthday, Independence Day is a pretty special day for me. For this particular setup I really wanted to focus on the word “Freedom” since that’s what the day is really all about.

I stayed true to the red, white, & blue and added a little vintage look to the printables.

Touches of burlap, wood, jute & mason jars on the dessert table added to the rustic look I was going for. The front of the table said it all with the printable FREEDOM banner overlapping the red, white, & blue fabric bunting. And no Fourth of July table would be complete without the American flag, the ultimate symbol of Freedom.
