Wow Your Guests With These Easy DIY 4th Of July Decorating Ideas
Phoenix-Inspired 4th of July Decor
FFTK is based in Phoenix, Arizona where July temperatures regularly hit records in the high 100’s. That means celebrating outdoors this 4th of July needs to center around water – and lot’s of it! We recommend all our Phoenicians hit the pool this 4th of July! With so many decorative options for 4th of July pool parties, why not? Check out the portable pool-friendly 4th of July table options below. We love the idea of creating a hot dog station!

Florals Rule – even on the 4th of July!
Flowers are without a doubt the most popular and well known centerpieces for events. Celebrating the 4th of July is no different. Florals are a great way to create a custom centerpiece. If you want to create your own floral centerpiece for the 4th, make sure to incorporate red, white, and blue (obviously!).
We recommend using flowers in each color – red, white, and blue – for your arrangement. For reds, there are numerous options; the classic red rose is always a great choice. We also love red poppies! For white, we love using fluffy iceberg roses or Dahlia flowers. Our favorite flowers to use for blue are iris and hydrangeas. These types of flowers work great to give pops of blue to arrangements.

Americana Cherry Pies
There aren’t many things that are considered more typically American than Cherry pies. These delicious desserts also serve as perfect centerpieces. We love how the table below features both cherry pies and fresh pails of cherries; the image makes the pies feel extremely fresh, like they were just made directly from the cherries themselves, exuding an almost “healthy” vibe. While logically we know Cherry pies may not be the healthiest food, it’s definitely a tasty way to ring in USA’s birthday! 😉

The Coolest Kids Table Ever
Holidays with kids are incredibly fun. Watching them experience traditions and new, exciting things for the first time is a complete joy to watch. Do you remember the first time your little one saw fireworks? Or when you showed your niece or nephew how Snap-It’s (those small novelty fireworks) explode when they hit the ground? This 4th of July help make the most out of your kids holiday memories by making the COOLEST kids table ever. Trust us, your kids will want to sit at this table. We especially love the star-spangled pinwheels. After they’re done eating, the kids can play with the pinwheels as they watch fireworks!

Candy Bar for the Win!
Last but not least, we love a good ol’ candy bar! DIY dessert and candy stations are a great way to give guests something to take with them when they leave your event. Guests can mix and match their favorite flavors to create a personalized, tasty goody bag. For your 4th of July event, make sure to use red, white and blue themed candy for the a perfectly patriotic event.
