Sun-Faded Reds, Whites & Blues: Celebrating 250 Years of American Style
America turns 250 this year. From sea to shining sea, backyards and coastal tables alike are pulling out all the stops. Sun-faded reds, washed denim blues, creamy ivories: the palette of a Fourth that journeys from the afternoon cookout all the way to black tie under the fireworks. Press the good linens, polish up the heirloom dinnerware, and button up an outfit worthy of the occasion.
The Spirit of the Fourth
This is the birthday that earns the whole treatment. We’re paying homage to celebrations as diverse as the American people - heartfelt gatherings at home, to grand affairs under the fireworks - all inspired by a legacy 250 years in the making. From the linens that set the scene, to the details that tell the story, these are our fresh takes on designing tables for America’s most important patriotic day.
The Summer Backyard BBQ Glow-Up
This is the backyard BBQ, all grown up. Grab an ice cold beverage, and keep an eye on the grill while taking in the celebration at a festive table. Our warm-toned Spice Gingham linen calls upon the nostalgia of classic summer picnics, while cobalt chargers and arctic blue embroidered napkins add a collected layer of patriotic flair. The palette nods to the holiday: hues of red, white, and blue soften into washed denim, warm neutrals, and creamy ivories. Bring the energy of a Fourth of July cookout, mix it with a dash of Ralph Lauren-inspired polish, and you’ve got yourself a summer BBQ glow-up every neighbor will peek over the fence at.
The Big 250: Sunset at the Harbor
Let’s set the table for a truly grand birthday. Two hundred and fifty years calls for a dinner that earns an elegant evening table: fine dinnerware, chic pastel floral moments and a sense of real occasion. Ivory eyelet linens create a crisp background that allow sophisticated chinoiserie vases to proudly anchor the table. Dainty blue and white chargers and delicate dinnerware carry the Americana palette into heirloom territory, while our deep denim-toned Aegean Pioneer napkins keep the patriotic thread alive. As the sun drops and the water stills, that’s your cue: crack the fresh lobster and pour something wonderfully chilled.
Fire Up The Fourth: black tie dinner
String lights twinkle overhead, the sun has taken its bow, and the sky is set to put on a spectacle. Step into the Fourth after dark: navy sequins catch the firelight, and deep ruby napkins add just the right note of drama. Pull the midnight palette together in crimsons and cool silvers. Clear glass dinnerware and silver-rimmed chargers keep things beautifully sleek against the grandeur of the evening. Pop a bottle of something worthy of the occasion, sit back and watch the show. America turns 250, and this is the glittering gathering it deserves.
