Greenvelope is all about capturing the essence of an event.  It’s in the subtle details, like a pair of red shoes, where we find the beauty and spirit. Here are a couple ideas on how to celebrate Independence Day without the usual red, white, and blue streamers.

Frozen Berry Ice Cubes: Freeze blueberries and raspberries in an ice tray and add them to a glass of your favorite drink.

Patriotic Fashionista: Pair a blue cardigan or jacket with red flats and lipstick.

Flowers: Gather a few red tulips and add them to a blue and white striped vase.

Table Decor: Go monotone with blue striped napkins and straws and plastic blue tumblers.

Pretty Desserts: Serve cheesecake shooters topped with berries and stained glass cookies

Protein:  Fill your hungry guests with sliders and polish dogs decorated with homemade toothpick flags
