Downtown Dallas Venue
At our downtown Dallas venue one of our favorite holidays is 4th of July. With it just around the corner we thought we’d share some ways to host a elevated patriotic celebration. Whether you’re planning a big corporate 4th of July party or paying homage to your fiancé time in the force on your wedding day, here are some tips for fine red, white, and blue event.
Layering
To keep your celebration from looking tacky, try layering your colors rather than using patriotic flags in your decor. For example, on a table setting start with a blue table cloth as the base and add a white table runner and set your plates with red napkins. Or use a white table cloth with a blue floral centerpiece and white candles. To finish it off, add touches of gold for a more sophisticated look.
Use nature
Use nature to break up all the color. Red and blue are stimulating colors, give your eyes a place to rest with some greenery mixed in. If could be as simple as eucalyptus table runner or mint in your cocktails. Also adding wood or wicker will soften the overall design.
Go beyond the burgers
While burgers are the typical go to for a patriotic celebration if you want a more sophisticated but still relaxed menu consider mini caprese salads and Champagne served with ice-cold popsicles.
