This weekend, the USA celebrates its Independence Day for the 245th year! And we’ve decided to share some inspiration for a red, white, and blue wedding in honor of this. So whether you want to incorporate a patriotic style into your wedding or just love the color scheme of the American flag, here are a few ideas you can get inspired by.
A Subtle Nod In Style

When it comes to your wedding look, you may not want to go all out and dress up in an American flag or anything of that sort. But you could give a subtle nod with some accessories. Unless you want a red or blue dress, pair your white gown with some colored heels and jazz up your hairdo with some starry headpieces. Your groom can also opt for a red tie and a matching boutonniere, maybe even some fancy star-spangled socks! And if you’re up for a modern-style shoot, these color bombs are fantastic for the perfect celebratory aesthetics.
Get Creative With Your Wedding Decor

Table decor and flowers are some of the easiest ways to create an attractive wedding theme. They bring color to your setup and add to the elegance, and set the right mood. Table cloths, invitations, centerpieces, and bridal bouquets are just some ways you can incorporate patriotic colors. And a garden or backyard wedding is the perfect opportunity! Arrange for some fun backyard games and activities to create a truly American party, and of course, don’t forget to include some snacks.
Because Nothing Says ‘American’ Like A Good Barbeque

Because nothing says American more than a barbecue party, you can’t have a 4th of July wedding without a little corn on the cobs and hotdogs. BBQ and grills make up a great menu for you and your guests to enjoy, paired with some refreshing patriotic cocktails. Plus, don’t forget the variety of saucy options available to enjoy your food with!
Don’t Forget Your Dessert Showstopper!

Your wedding cake is the star dessert on the big day. So, of course, you wanna dazzle it up and wow your guests with a work of art. Additional sweets like berry parfaits are also great treats to snack on for a summer wedding. Whether you choose to go with classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate or decide on another crowd-pleaser like red velvet, your main dessert can be decorated in style with the iconic tri-color that will have your wedding party excited to dig in.
