With Memorial Day sneaking up on us, the unofficial start to summer is almost here! We have gathered some great ideas to help you welcome summertime. We are sticking with a patriotic red, white and blue palette for our inspiration so this is great for Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day!

Red, white and blue themed food is the easiest way to incorporate patriotism into your event. You can do food in American flag designs or you can go more abstract with just using red, white and blue foods. Doesn’t the tomato salad on a blue corn chip look lovely?

Besides the food, incorporating a little red, white and blue into your decor is a cinch. From different linens in different hues and textures to mixing and matching china and crystal, creating the perfect Memorial Day tablescape is fun! Keep it subtle like the red white and blue planters above or go for a bolder look and incorporate colored glassware.

Here at The Event Group we enjoy the holiday but we also remember and honor all of the heroes who have given their lives for our country. We celebrate them on May 26th!
