This 4th of July patriotic centerpiece looks like I spent a lot of time making it, doesn’t it? It really and truly can be made in 30 MINUTES! I love the big flowers, fun bow, and rustic looking bucket. If you want one for your home or ten to set on tables for a large event – these “super easy to make” centerpieces will look impressive.
I’ll never forget one of the best 4th of July parties at our friends’ house. Everything was set up outside. For the kids, she had a trampoline, bubbles, hula hoops and more in one area. The food was plentiful with hamburgers from the grill, corn on the cob, watermelon, salads, and plenty of lemonade. At the end of the night they had sparklers for the kids and lit fireworks for the adults.
But you know what impressed me the MOST about her party? It was her décor. She had red, white, and blue sprinkled everywhere and in fun ways. It was just cleverly arranged. Some looked western and some like worn Americana. Flags of all sizes were displayed.
The décor was a beautiful reminder that we were celebrating our country’s freedom.
