The porch never feels more festive than when decked out in red, white and blue! Our neighborhood does a huge fireworks display for the Fourth so we often host friends and family for a pre-show party. But, I get my decor out in early June to enjoy it for about a month. I’ve scaled back a little out here since we added the pool. It makes it so easy to put out a couple of pillow covers, runner and centerpiece.
Back when we first finished the porch Mother helped me make red and white covers for my throw pillows. I just slide them right on top of the regular ones for an easy change up that takes up virtually no space in storage. The flag pillow was another Pottery Barn find from a few years ago. I have also used the same American Flag Bunting for years. I love that it is decorative from both outside and inside the porch.
The table runner is another thing I’ve had for ages. It was also from Pottery Barn back in the day. I still remember taking a newborn photo of Jay Bird on this runner – he arrived May 29 but was due July 4. <3 We recreated it for years!
For an easy 2-minute centerpiece, I filled four mason jars with hydrangeas and two flags to sit inside of my vintage Coke crate. You can see my tips for working with hydrangeas in this post.
We are taking it easy this year and just have my bestie’s family and Sister’s family joining us for festivities! Here you can see a little sangria set up I had the other night!
