4th of July Dancing Branflake Dinner Party

Happy 4th of July Weekend, America and friends!
I love this holiday and everything it represents.
This party is a very Martha Stewart heavy party, 
for I think she does 4th of July best.
From the decor to the food to the fun favor, this dinner party exudes a preppy East Coast feel.
A tribute, really, to the part of our nation where this all started.

The Decor
I love how Martha Stewart curated this table.
Just like the rest of the dinner party, it is casual with a touch of elegance.



The Menu
(click on the links below for recipes.  All photos and recipes are from Martha Stewart.)



What I'm Wearing
I wanted to go a little Americana; a tribute to the preppy East Coast and chic Jackie O.



The Favor
I'd love to make these Martha Stewart Pretzel Sparklers and wrap them up in some pretty packaging. 
I think edible favors are the best favors.

Have a fun and safe Independence Day weekend, my friends!
(and to England: sorry 'bout it.)

Love this! I'm 100% an East Coast girl, and much of this does capture the NE feel. Especially the lobster - gotta have lobster and grilled corn on the cob on the 4th of July! Spot on lady!
