Memorial Day BBQ Decorations

Memorial Day is seriously one of my favorite times of the year to deck out my table.

Inexpensive and eye catching is always my main goal.

I splurged a little this year and bought these adorable paper plates with ruffled edges! I am dying at how cute they are and there are many colors to choose from.

The come is lots of different sizes…chargers, dinner size, salad, 2 different bowl sizes and napkins to match!

These cloth napkins are made from drop cloths!

My mom made these for me years ago and they hold to up to everything!

I am thinking of selling these on my blog…anyone interested in buying some?

They would be handmade by my mom and I.

Leave me a comment below and let me know if you would be interested.

I have styled this Memorial Day BBQ tablescape in two different ways.

In both I have used the same navy and white striped fabric.

One way as runner on one table and on the other I created a puddle of fabric in the center.

Striped paper napkins on one table and napkins made from drop cloths with numbers on them on the other.

Pockets from the backs of old jeans make the perfect keepsake for a box of sparklers.

A small American flag is also tucked in for each guest.

If you are interested in ordering some from me, please leave me a comment or email me.

Red white and blue Centerpiece

Cutting flowers from your yard is what I love to use the most in my centerpieces.

I have used white snowball flowers in a tall white vase that I have used many many times.

Below the white vase is in the center of the striped fabric.

For this tablescape I set the white vase upon a red Christmas cake stand! No one will every know 😉

Simply adding one flag into the vase of white flowers you have an instant Memorial Day centerpiece.

Basically FREE if you can cut flowers from your yard.

Easy Memorial Day BBQ Food

We love to grill because it is fast and easy and always turns out great.

Our favorite go to for the kids is of course the basic hot dog.

For the adults we love to grill anything and everything from fish and Chicken to vegetables and fruit.

Sweet Baby Rae is our favorite BBQ Sauce mixed with Webers Beer Can Chicken seasoning and it is a winner!

I use that seasoning on everything including vegetables! A little olive oil, salt and beer can seasoning the BBQ is done and done!

Arranging fruit is a very simple way to look like you have spend a lot of time preparing something amazing.

Using a tiered serving stand and layering in all kinds of berries and grapes makes for a stunning display.

You may remember we did this at our fun lake party.
