We were thrilled when Cloche Designs asked us to create the menu for their July 4th table, featuring their favorite Draper James x Crate and Barrel “Magnolia” pieces! We love a beautiful themed tablescape and the Cloche ladies did not disappoint! Gina Langford’s Rosalie menu artwork (color adjusted to match the plates) pairs perfectly with the red, white and blue color scheme and all the other gorgeous details make this patriotic table a showstopper. Keep reading for all the pretty details!
Cloche Designs’ Laura Nell Burton and Christin Gish and their sweet daughters are all wearing the new Draper James Mommy & Me Collection. Draper James (founded by Reese Witherspoon) teamed up with mompreneur Rachel Blumenthal, CEO and Founder of Rockets of Awesome, to produce this beautiful, practical and southern-inspired collection.
Plates and bowls: Draper James x Crate & Barrel “Magnolia” collection (on sale now!)
Flatware: Sterling pattern “Etruscan” by Gorham (discontinued). Use your own silver pattern (even mismatched patterns) for a curated look, as if the elements on the table have been collected with love over time.
Stemware: Vintage wine glasses and William Yeoward Crystal “Fern” water goblets. Again, use your own pretty stemware to accent your table!
Napkins: Over the Moon’s new Linen Dinner Napkins monogrammed in a blue “Love Birds” crest by Peep’s Paper Products.
Menu: We love how Cloche named our menu “Reese, White & Blue, Y’all!” Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Reese uses “Y’all” on lots of products at Draper James. It’s the perfect personal touch!
Place cards: Using cookies as place cards is such a fun idea! The personalized flag heart cookies by Baked Goodness are functional and delicious!
Centerpieces: Simple, understated tulips and white peonies in traditional blue and white Chinese import make lovely centerpieces. A crisp white tablecloth allows the table elements to shine.
The Cloche daughters helping their moms set the table is the sweetest! Children love to help, so let them in on the fun! Knowing they get to eat the yummy cookies will keep them excited as they “work!”
Recipes: tomato pie; barbecue deviled eggs; watermelon caprese salad; sweet-hot baby back ribs, southern friend okra; root beer baked beans; corn on the cob; & American flag pound cake.
We hope you each enjoy your holiday as we celebrate our country’s birthday! Happy Fourth of July!
