Savvy 4th of July Wedding!

Planning a 4th of July wedding? If the traditional “Stars and Stripes” aren’t your thing, stay true to the Red, White and Blue by using modern elements in your décor and celebration. Here are a few of my favorites!
When you’re planning your table décor, add some sass by using blue and white zebra striped plates atop a red table topper.
Don’t limit your creativity to just the place settings. Branch out with modern DIY floral centerpieces in monochromatic colors.
You can always spruce up inexpensive linen napkins by having catchy words or your initials embroidered on the corner.
Name each table after one of the Founding Fathers or frame patriotic quotes on each table to remind your guests of the reason we celebrate the 4th of July.
Champagne Toasts are a traditional element in American weddings. To make your toasts extra special have one of your wedding party read a passage from the Declaration of Independence and then offer his or her personal toast.
Serve each guest their very own mini bottle, also called a split, of champagne. The patriotic splits sold by Pommery would add the perfect savvy touch!
I’ve seen exits go wrong when sparklers are used so I recommend replacing them with “confetti poppers” so your guests can help send you off without lighting you up.
Commemorate the occasion by giving guests a star-shaped ornament as a party favor. (Craft stores carry generic ornaments all year long.) Using a Sharpie pen, write the guests name as well as the date on the bottom of the ornament.
