Decorating for Fourth of July – Embracing Americana

Whether you are hosting the Independence Day BBQ or simply want to create an Americana feel in your home for the Fourth of July, we have the floral arrangements and decor to create the look you’re dreaming of. 

Decor:

Wall Hangings

We offer three gorgeous wall hangings featuring the American flag design. One is a wooden American flag with a “Liberty” star for those looking for a rustic vibe. The other is a map of the United States overlaid with the American flag. The final option features the words “God Bless America” over top a flag-like design with stars and stripes.

Sitting Decor

If you’re looking to decorate a table spread or shelves, we have “sitting decor” options. We offer two wooden blocks with two different sayings, “America the Beautiful” and “Hooray for the U.S.A.” that are simple, but festive.

Keeping with the rustic look from earlier, we have a wooden star with the word “Liberty” with the letters “USA” in front and a small heart featuring a flag overlay. There is also a “Welcome” sign to greet visitors or party guests, with each letter featuring an American flag design.

Outdoor Decor

Something subtle to place outside is our metal American Flag on a pole. This is a great option, especially if you don’t already have a flag outside.

Florals:

Flowers can center a party, especially a table spread, and complete the look of a room. If you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch for Independence Day, we recommend these arrangements:

Star Spangled

An obvious choice for those really leaning into the Americana look for the 4th of July is our classic “Star Spangled” arrangement. Made of red carnations, blue dyed baby’s breath, and white daisy poms and featuring a patriotic star stick-in, it is the perfect addition to your holiday celebration.

Stars and Stripes

Another red, white and blue classic to celebrate is our “Stars and Stripes” arrangement. A patriotic tin holds a red rose, a blue hydrangea, a white football mum, alstroemeria, and red carnations to create the perfect 4th of July celebration piece. An American flag stick-in completes the arrangement and makes it pop.

Watermelon

Is it really a Fourth of July celebration without watermelon? Embrace the iconic summer fruit with our “Watermelon” arrangement featuring red carnations, white daisy, yin yang poms, and red alstromeria. The arrangement is created in a gorgeous ceramic watermelon container and completed with a rustic bow featuring a red and white gingham edge.

Country Picnic

The red and white of this arrangement make it a great choice for the Fourth of July. It has a “southern summer” charm and features a cute ladybug stick-in. It’s made up of white football mums, red carnations, and yin-yang poms.

Fresh Looks, Everyday: How We Refresh Our Year-Round Floral Collection

When you think of summer, you might picture the beach, a boat, or a trail through the mountains. For us, summer means “design days”—a time to roll up our sleeves, get creative, and refresh our everyday flower lineup.

Our everyday product lineup—those go-to birthday, anniversary, thank-you, and just-because arrangements—undergoes careful review and refinement. While seasonal offerings come and go, everyday arrangements are the backbone of what we do. That’s why we take great care in keeping them current, creative, and customer-approved.

Much like our seasonal catalogs, we regularly evaluate which designs in our everyday collection are performing—and which ones need to take a final bow. An arrangement might be removed if sales have dipped or if the container is no longer available. Others are redesigned to reflect updated flower trends or color palettes.

Once we’ve determined what’s on the way out, our team gets to work dreaming up what’s next.

We draw inspiration from all corners of the floral world: new flower varieties, social media trends, gift and decor shows, trending color combinations, and even past customer favorites. If an everyday arrangement has seen strong demand in a specific season or holiday, it might be elevated into year-round rotation.

Our growers and suppliers are integral to this process. We seek out flower varieties that are not only beautiful, but available—day in and day out. We’re always testing new sources, exploring different regions, and ensuring the flowers we offer are fresh, consistent, and top-tier in quality.

This week, our designers collaborate to turn ideas into real-life arrangements, blending textures, colors, and containers to create something both beautiful and practical. These designs are then fine-tuned in a process we call “value engineering”—ensuring the final products offer both exceptional quality and fair pricing for our customers.

Once the new everyday arrangements are finalized, they’re professionally photographed and added to our year-round selection—both in-store and online in September.

And then? It’s your turn. Your orders, your reviews, and your responses help decide what earns a permanent place on our shelves. You shape the everyday lineup as much as we do.

So next time you browse our website or stop by a store, know that each arrangement has been thoughtfully chosen, tested, and tailored to brighten your everyday moments.
