Red Geraniums: A Patriotic Centerpiece

Celebrate the Fourth of July with a patriotic centerpiece featuring red geraniums and vintage American flags.

I can not believe that the Fourth of July is next weekend already. It snuck up on me so quickly this year. And with today being a rainy day, I got to decorating and putting together this quick and easy vintage-style Patriotic centerpiece with classic red geraniums.

Red Geraniums Centerpiece Ideas

A red geraniums centerpiece brings a vibrant and patriotic touch to any table setting, perfect for celebrating national holidays or simply adding a pop of color to your decor. Placed in a classic white ceramic pot or a rustic galvanized metal container, the geranium’s rich, bold red stands out.

Adding accents like a blue ribbon tied around the base, mini American flags, and white milkglass vases enhances the patriotic theme, creating a striking red, white, and blue display. This centerpiece not only celebrates the spirit of Americana but also infuses your space with the cheerful and lively essence of summer, making it a stunning focal point for gatherings and festivities.

Here are a few red geraniums ideas to get you started:

American Flags

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 simply bunched two of the old American flags around a pot of outdoor red geraniums in a Chinoiserie pot I found at a local nursery earlier this year. You may also enjoy this Usher in Winter with Blue and White Chinoiserie post.

Vintage milkglass vases

Milkglass vases are a fabulous way to highlight American flags and flowers into your patriotic home decor. They are inexpensive and pair beautifully with red and blue.

These milkglass vases, which I found Thrifting with the Gals a couple of weeks ago, worked perfectly as a base for the small USA flags.
