If there’s one thing you need to know about me, it’s that I love putting together a festive table. Whether it’s my holiday tablescape or the one I recently put together for spring, I feel like the creativity just flows when I’m putting together a table for hosting.

We haven’t quite finalized our July 4th plans yet, but I’m hoping to host a small get-together with BBQ or burgers. I’ve been playing around with some tablescape options and wanted to share a couple I really love.

The vibe of the first table is casual but still super cute. Overall, it’s a bit more affordable and way easier for setup and cleanup. We created the second table with pieces you’ll use all summer long but it does require you to do more dishes than the first option (sometimes I just don’t have the energy to mess with dishes no matter how cute they are!).

I’m linking both tablescapes below and sharing some additional details about each! You can shop more summer table essentials in my Amazon Storefront.

Table One

We created this table with pieces that are “consumable” and easier for setup and cleanup — plus everything is at a bit of a lower price point. I was hesitant to use paper plates but these are ADORABLE and super sturdy. Plus, how cute is that ruffled edge!?

I’m obsessed with the cutlery too. It comes in so many colors (I really love the blue and gold option too). This cutlery is disposable but also dishwasher safe. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

This table is a great option if you want low maintenance that doesn’t look low maintenance. It is SO easy!

Table Two

This option is more like my typical tables. I love both options, but this one definitely feels a bit more sophisticated and formal.

We created this table with pieces you’ll use all summer long, even outside of 4th of July festivities. This Juliska dishware is the absolute cutest and will last you forever.

The Vietri vases can be used year-round (especially the white color I bought!) and the real linens make the whole table feel more elevated.

Everything comes together to create a patriotic palette, but on its own, you could definitely use these pieces to create entirely different looks year-round.
