Red, White, and Blue Front Porch for Memorial Day

Yes, I’ve changed out my front porch once again.  I love to decorate with red, white, and blue for Memorial Day (sometimes I leave it up until the Fourth of July) and here’s what I came up with:

Our daylillies are blooming now, so the yellow kind of clashes, but what can I do? 🙂

I bought the long flag pulldown banners a few years ago–you can find them {here}. Sometimes I use traditional bunting, but this house seems to work better with the banners.  I use 3M command hooks to hang them from the front porch.

My white violas are still blooming, although the heat will probably kill them soon.  The red, white, and blue balls are from Hobby Lobby, a few years ago (similar here), and the outdoor pillows are from the same eBay seller I buy all of my outdoor pillows from (here; they never fade!).

I put the red candles back into the candle-lier, and a “God Bless America” cupcake pick in the small grapevine wreath.

All I need is a galvanized bucket of iced-down Coca-Cola, or Jones Soda (in glass bottles, or course!) for things to be complete for a cookout.

A few sparklers and a set of cornhole boards might be fun, too, right?

 

We remember the sacrifices so many have made on this Memorial Day.
