Get your swimsuits and sparklers ready because the Fourth of July is here! We were feeling particularly inspired this holiday so we teamed up with our friends at Fête Studio  to create our perfect 4th of July bash. Fête helped breathe patriotic life into our 4th of July menu.

What’s on our menu for the 4th? Miniature hot dogs, cheeseburger sliders, and petite corn on the cobb with basil and butter. For dessert, we have cones of fresh strawberries topped with whipped cream and mint. To wash it all down we had root beer floats. This 4th of July menu works for both casual get together in your backyard or a ritzy soiree depending on the décor.

The presentation of your food can make a big difference when it comes to setting the tone of your event. For a casual affair, consider using brightly colored paper products and displayware paired with a fun gingham tablecloth. You can use cake stands at various heights to add depth to your display. For a more upscale look, keep it simple and chic. Use white ceramic displayware with crisp white hemstitch linens. Use solid arrangements of blue hydrangeas to add color to the table.
