The Perfect Red, White, and Blue Table: Simple and Stunning!

Hey everyone! I’ve got something super cool to share with you today. Are you ready to create an awesome red, white, and blue table setup that’ll leave your guests in awe? I’ve got a simple plan that’ll make your table look stunning without all the fuss. Let’s get started!

Start with a table runner to set the tone

Start with a Blue and White Striped Table Runner. First things first, grab a blue and white striped table runner. The stripes lend itself to that patriotic look right away. I am using a navy and cream striped table runner but you could use a red and white one.

Just lay it down and let the magic begin!

Get Natural with Placemats

Keep things down-to-earth by using natural placemats. You can find ones made from jute or bamboo that give your table a rustic feel. I am telling you if you don’t order some of these today you will be missing out because they are so great to use everyday!

They’re gonna be a perfect match for what’s coming next!

Keep it Classic with White Dinner Plates

For the main dishes, stick with classic white dinner plates. They’re simple, elegant, and let your food take center stage. My favorite way to serve food is on on white dinner plates. Then I can add a pop of color or pattern with a salad plate like I did for this Coastal Grandmother tablescape.

Having white dinner plates is like a blank canvas for your culinary creations. Yum!

Use Clear Glass Goblets for a Classy Touch

Next up, let’s bring some class to the table with clear glass goblets. They’ll make even water look extra fancy. I like serving water with a slice of lemon or raspberries because you can see the vibrant colors shining through.

It is those little details that make the tablescape simple and stunning.

DIY Mason Jar Centerpieces with Rustic Flair

Now it’s time to add some charm to your table with DIY mason jar centerpieces. Use regular sized mouth mason jars and wrap them with strips of burlap. Just attach them with a little hot glue.

Then add red and white striped ribbon and tie them in a knot. Fill them up with all kinds of flowers you picked from your backyard. It’s a touch of nature that’ll make your table feel special for your guests. Plus your centerpiece is basically free!

I used these mason jars here for the 4th of July and filled them with white roses and blue flowers for a quick centerpiece. Super inexpensive and easy to make!

Don’t Forget the Finishing Touches

To bring everything together, add a few finishing touches. Stick some little flags on toothpicks for appetizers, or tie red, white and blue ribbons around the napkins. I love to use my red pip berry napkin rings.

You may remember this tablescape where I used all three red white and blue pip berry napkin rings on each napkin. It’s those little details that make a big impact!

There you have it, folks! With these simple steps, you’ll have a red, white, and blue table setup that’s gonna blow everyone away. Just follow my lead: grab that striped table runner, set out the glass goblets, lay down the natural placemats, place those white dinner plates, and create those amazing mason jar centerpieces.

It’s gonna be fantastic, I promise!

Enjoy your celebration and have a blast!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
