Inspiration to Celebration: Red, White & Blue Americana Seaside Inspiration

Red, White & Blue all Summer Long…

The 4th of July has come and gone but with it leaves the lingering pride and love for all things American and beachy. From popsicles, tan lines, ice cold coca colas and vintage Frankie and Annette movies, bringing a bit of classic beach into your summer fetes is always a good thing. Don’t want to go overboard on the red, white & blue? Mix in some yellow for a primary splash of color!

Here are a few tips to mix some Americana Seaside style into your summer soirees:

• Mix in a variety of seersucker pillows for your outdoor lounge

• Serve ice cold coca-cola bottles with red and white striped straws from a tray

• Bring out the Beach Blanket Bingo… for real! Toss some big patterned throws and pillows on the grass or sand for a casual lounge space

• In lieu of classic desserts, have an old-fashioned Popsicle cart come to your event

• On the sand? Don’t forget your paddleball, bocce ball and horseshoe sets! Why not make a tournament out of it?
