Decorate Your Holiday Table with a Patriotic Centerpiece

When you're getting ready for your family get-together for the 4th of July, remember to get some flags, colorful plants, baskets of red and white flowers, and blue napkins for the feast. Or search for other fun decorations and put together a great centerpiece for the table.

Our article offers some simple ways to decorate the serving table or make arrangements to place around your party area. And each idea has a list of ingredients and simple instructions on how to get the look.

If you have a photo of a patriotic centerpiece that you'd like to share, e-mail it to me at interiordec.guide@about.com with your name and a brief description of how you put it together. If I get enough photos, I'll publish a slide show.

Get ready to celebrate!
