Red, White, and Blue Centerpiece with White Hydrangeas

Patriotic Centerpieces for Tables

Patriotic centerpieces for tables are a wonderful way to infuse a sense of national pride and Americana into your home decor. Whether hosting a Fourth of July barbecue, a Memorial Day gathering, or simply wanting to showcase your love for your country, a patriotic centerpiece can set the perfect tone.

To create a festive and eye-catching display, consider combining red, white, and blue elements, such as flowers, candles, and flags. Incorporating vintage elements like antique spindles, mason jars, or rustic wooden crates and baskets can add a charming touch to your centerpiece.

Whether it’s a simple arrangement of wildflowers in a mason jar or an elaborate display of candles and miniature American flags, a patriotic centerpiece will surely captivate your guests and create a sense of patriotism and celebration.

Red, White, and Blue Centerpiece DIY

For today’s red, white, and blue centerpiece inspiration, I’m sharing how I displayed these gorgeous large white hydrangeas from Trader Joe’s as a table centerpiece for the Fourth of July weekend.

Baskets and Crates for Red, White, and Blue Centerpiece

Baskets and crates add texture and charm as a red, white, and blue centerpiece foundation.

This old basket stands tall, adding height with an impactful decorating style for the Patriotic holidays on our dining room table.

White Hydrangeas

I first added a large vase filled with water inside the basket to create this look.

Then, I arranged the Trader Joe’s white snowball hydrangeas with their long stems into the vase in the center of the basket.

Plump up the hydrangeas so they are prominent for your red, white, and blue centerpieces.

American Flag

I have a small collection of old, weathered flags from our home’s flag pole. Since we seem to need to replace them almost every year, I keep the flags to use throughout my decor during the summer months.

I added one of these old flags to the corner of the centerpiece’s basket draped out onto the table.

The contrast of the red, white, and blue with the white hydrangeas in the large basket is simple yet festive.

One of Kim’s tips is to fill your hydrangea vase with hot water every morning. This will open up the stems, hydrangeating the flowers for longer-lasting blooms.

Kim explains that fresh-cut hydrangeas wilt when they self-heal from the initial cut.

Because the cut stems start to form a substance over the wound to heal themselves, water has trouble reaching the hydrangea blooms, and they can wilt. The hot water prevents this.

Vintage White Chamber Pots

Later, I added a few vintage chamber pots that I found while out Thrifting with the Gals. The white accents the beautiful white hydrangeas.
