Since we missed out on gathering during late spring, put together a patriotic porch party to celebrate the Fourth of July. While in Florida, we had a beach porch soiree that was a ton of seaside fun! We opted to embrace the coastal feel for our event as we served fish, rice, pasta salad, a cheese tray, and fresh fruit. We took a delicious after-dinner dive into a sea of sweets with popsicle Jackson Morgan Southern Cream cocktails and a boozy banana dessert that really rounded out the meal.

Shades of red won our hearts for the color scheme on decor, embellishments, and accessories. I found festive invitations and gift tags from Dixie Designs that, with their illustrated popsicle emblems, were so perfect for our party. We even took the decor to the next level with a beautiful balloon garland from Mingle 30A. Go ahead and channel both the beach and the brave as you let freedom ring at your patriotic porch party!
