Since Alan and I bought our house a couple of years ago, we enjoy the spectacular fireworks show at the Rose Bowl. Ā Given the awesome show and view, we have to share it with our dear friends and family. Ā Last year, we hosted a fun gingham themed party and this year I’m throwing it back to a vintage Fourth of July theme.
I borrowed my sister’s house for a few hours and my adorable niece Victoria to share some of my inspiration for our upcoming party. Ā I brought vintage Coke crate and soda bottles, vintage suitcase, vintage glassware, and a radio flyer. Ā I added bougainvillea and baby’s breath for a softer touch. Ā A vintage themed Fourth of July party doesn’t have to be complicated. Ā Bring together your favorite pieces and add touches of burlap, mini flags, and a festive banner, and you’re done!
AĀ classic drink like a rum and coke (with a twist) is a great drink for a vintage inspired fete. Ā I love Captain Morgan Pineapple Rum (yup, it’s delish) mixed with Coke; serve it in a vintage inspired soda bottle with a festive straw. Ā For the perfect flavor balance, mix 1.5 oz of Captain Morgan Pineapple Rum with 7 oz of Coke.
I hope this has inspired you to celebrate America’s Independence Day in style.
