Elevate Your Decorating Game: Patriotic Holidays

Patriotic holidays in the U.S. such as Independence Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day, provide a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and honor our country and those who have served it. Decorating for these occasions not only shows our patriotic spirit but also brings warmth and festivity to our homes and gatherings. Here are some elegant and spirited ideas to infuse your celebration with red, white, and blue.


Begin at the Front Door
Welcome your guests and passersby with a patriotic wreath on your front door. A beautiful wreath featuring stars, stripes, and a mix of red, white, and blue florals sets a celebratory tone right at the doorstep. For a more simple approach, this simple and elegant wildflower sectional wreath or sign declaring your patriotism can be just as eye-catching.


Create a Focal Point
Choose a space in your home, such as the mantle, dining table, or entryway console, to create a patriotic focal point. Use a combination of flags, candles in patriotic colors, and vintage Americana decor pieces for an arrangement that celebrates the nation's heritage. Design Decor’s designer 144” “Lady Liberty” garland is a must-have for wow factor over an entryway or displayed on your mantle.


Table Setting with a Patriotic Twist
For gatherings or a festive family meal, set your table to match the occasion. Use a white tablecloth as the base and layer with blue and red runners or placemats. Tableware in patriotic colors or with flag motifs adds to the ambiance, while centerpiece arrangements of red, white, and blue flowers complete the look. Don’t forget to adorn chairs with ribbons or small flags for an extra festive touch.


Light up the Night
Utilize festive string lights, lanterns, or candles to create a cozy and inviting outdoor space for evening celebrations. Red, white, and blue fairy lights can outline your patio or garden, and lanterns provide gentle illumination for outdoor dining. For a memorable display, arrange candles in sand-filled jars colored with food dye to match the day’s theme. Our vast collection of premium quality flameless candles are a great resource for achieving these looks. Check out our supply of outdoor candles here

Flags, Flags, and More Flags
Perhaps the simplest and most significant decoration is the American flag itself. Display flags in varying sizes throughout your home and garden. Be sure to follow proper flag etiquette to show respect. Small hand-held flags can line your driveway or garden path, while larger flags can be hung from your home or displayed on flagpoles. This premium linen ribbon featuring a flag design is versatile and timeless!


Personal Touches
Finally, adding personal touches to your patriotic decor can make the celebration even more meaningful. Encourage family members to create handmade decorations, such as painted rocks, buntings, or streamers. Displaying photos of family members who have served in the military honors their contribution and brings personal history into your celebration.


Decorating for patriotic holidays is an act of joy and remembrance! It creates a backdrop for gathering with loved ones to celebrate the freedoms and values we hold dear. By incorporating these ideas into your decor, you can create a festive and respectful celebration that honors the spirit of the holiday and creates lasting memories for your family and guests.
