From backyard barbecues to glitzy fireworks displays, the Fourth of July is a celebration of American spirit and style. Over the past century, the ways we gather have shifted with each generation, shaped by history, fashion, and pop culture. This year, let the eras inspire your table styling. Here’s a look at how Americans have celebrated through the decades and one Solino Home piece to bring each era to life.
1920s: Garden Glamour & Jazz Age Elegance
In the post-war era, Americans embraced sophistication. Garden parties featured crisp white linens, silver platters, and lemonade in crystal glasses, all to the tune of a jazz quartet. Think Gatsby elegance, crisp, clean and refined. Solino Home pick for this Era, is our Classic Hemstitch Tablecloth in White. It’s classic and timeless, just like the era.
1950s: Suburban Picnics & Soda Pop
It was the golden age of backyards and BBQs. Gingham tablecloths, hot dogs, Coca-Cola, and sparklers created an iconic mid-century Fourth. This era was cheerful, nostalgic, and family-friendly. For a retro nod that still feels fresh, try out Buffalo Check Table Runner in Hydrangea Blue!
1970s: Bohemian Spirit & DIY Vibes
This was the era of potlucks, peace signs, and free-spirited gatherings. Think tie-dye, acoustic music, and wildflowers on the table. If your style is Earthy, textural, and relaxed then our Diana Medium Weight Napkins in the color, Cinnamon can bring a grounded twist on American Red and helps set a mellow vibe.
1990s: Block Parties & Fireworks
Neighborhood cookouts, boom boxes, and bursts of red, white, and blue defined the decade. Food was fun, music was loud, and the vibe was all-in. Add to the All-American festive theme with our two-toned Carmine Placements in Red.
Today: Heritage Meets Modern Ease
Today’s gatherings blend nostalgia with minimalism. There’s a return to handmade, natural textures, with an emphasis on intentional details. Today we aim for effortlessly elevated and personal. The Solino Home Pick to complete this look with understated luxury is Athena Cocktail Napkins in Chambray Blue. This subtle texture lets the drinks and of course fireworks shine.
