Fourth of July Celebrations

I've always loved throwing a celebration on Fourth of July and this year I wanted to make it a little extra special as my husband and I are also celebrating our first wedding anniversary! To add a more modern twist to the party decor in addition to the red, white, and navy I decided to add in baby blue. One of my favorite DIY projects was painting metal chairs, which can be found at Walmart for $9 ea, blue to match the tables then adding some Tassel garland to the back (from Target!). I also LOVE oversized balloons and decided to use some along with a little cart I have as the dessert station. My third favorite element of the party was the watercolor place cards we had on the table. It was a great day with our friends and family!
