Inspired by the holiday itself, I wanted to create a bright, summery design that incorporated the iconic colors without going overboard. For the design, rather than taking a literal inspiration from red, white, and blue, I worked to incorporate loose tones from that palette to give the shoot a more softer, feminine look. Blue and white can actually pass for a neutral in most cases and can be used with almost any color palette. How fun!
To further include a summer vibe and the Fourth of July holiday, I included lounge furniture in whites and blues, accented with striped and starred pillows. A vintage and festive bar cart was adorned with festive signature drinks which doubled as the perfect warm-weather refreshment! Fresh fruit and red and white blooms accented the cart and table to draw back into our theme, creating a polished, cohesive look. Pair this with custom desserts, and you are ready to host the perfect summer event for you and your friends.
Whether you incorporate this idea into a wedding or barbecue, this versatile design is perfect for your next summer celebration.
