Throw A Red White & Blue Bash!

{ Via: Carolyne Roehm }

Can you believe that the fourth is less than a week away? If  you are hosting a bash, it's time to get serious. This Friday, we'll cover what you are cooking, but today we are dishing on decor. You really can't ignore the color palette, but everything doesn't have to be stars and stripes either. Have fun with the theme, just keep it classy. Here's a round up of what I call modern Americana. Any one of these decorative serving pieces and decor details will elevate your bash . For ever more inspiration, you will find some clever ideas from Kate Spade New York.
