I\u2019ll divulge all of my dirty little secrets, just for you \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keep it all-American <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lucky for you, the color palette is a given! Red, white &amp; blue set the tone for this party, so now all you need to do is seek all of your d\u00e9cor goods in this palette. The majority of props I purchased specifically for this picnic came from a combination of Ross, TJ Maxx, and Target, and cost under $50. No joke! That included the striped cotton table cloth we used as the ground linen (Ross $7.99), cotton napkins (Ross set of 4 for $2.99), napkin holder (Ross $1.99), blue dot appetizer plates (Target $20 for all 4), galvanized wine bucket (Ross $9.99), striped wood box riser ($9.99) \/ <b>Pro Tip: <\/b>denim and chambray is my favorite way to pack in that extra American punch!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keep it Comfortable <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You want your guests to be able to lounge for awhile and have a good time. Pillows are a stylish and thoughtful detail (win, win!) &#8211; for this setup I just took pillows that I already had laying around at home and covered them with my denim shirts, simply by pinning on. See, easy breezy! No sewing or buying necessary! \u2026as long as you own a few or more denim or chambray shirts, you are all good. Although, I must admit that I kind of want a few chambray throw pillow hanging out around my home now!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Add Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With plants, that is! Cut flowers are going to generally be too delicate to withstand the outdoor setting for too long. So, choose potted plants instead! I picked up the two lovely flowering plants you see here at Trader Joe\u2019s for $5.99 a pop!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rely on Your Friends <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019ve set the tone, now let your friends contribute the rest. Keep it simple with a pot luck style picnic. If you are\u2026hmm, let\u2019s just say specific\u2026like me, then create a wish checklist of styles of food and beverages you would like to see show up (you know, to keep the photo aesthetics in check) and have everyone check off what they are bringing so that there are no duplicates. Or\u2026if you want to keep it super simple, you can make it a free for all.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Create Height <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Keep your setting mostly off ground will make it easier for your guests to enjoy their nibbles and beverages by having a steady place to set them. Pick up a free wood palette from your local grocer and a cut piece of wood large enough to set on top, and bam! You have a table! Nearby crates and stools also add nice height variance while adding extra space for holding food platters and beverages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2778 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/5_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz6.jpg\" alt=\"4th of July picnic ideas on a budget\" width=\"850\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/5_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz6.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/5_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz6-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2779 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/6_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz3.jpg\" alt=\"4th of july picnic on the beach | inspiration on the Greenvelope.com blog\" width=\"850\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/6_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz3.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/6_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz3-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2780 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/7_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz4.jpg\" alt=\"7_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz4\" width=\"850\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/7_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/7_4th-ofJuly-beach-picnic-horz4-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8A_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert.jpg\" alt=\"8A_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert\" width=\"420\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8A_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8A_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8A_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert-678x1024.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8B_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert4.jpg\" alt=\"8B_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert4\" width=\"420\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8B_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert4.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8B_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert4-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/8B_4th-of-July-beach-picnic-vert4-678x1024.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The thing I hear most about setups like this is that it\u2019s a hassle to put it all together. I set this up mostly solo and it took me 2 hours tops. I will admit that there is only a slight hassle in lugging all of the goods to and from your site\u2026 BUT with helping hands and the knowledge that it will be absolutely gorgeous and well worth it, there should be nothing holding you back! Let\u2019s make this 4th of July extra epic!
