Your Fourth of July celebration could begin and end with a real bang when you use flowers to accent and decorate the day. If you're thinking you need to stick with the traditional red, white, and blue carnation arrangements you normally see on Independence Day, think again! Flowers come in so many varieties and they're so easy to customize to the occasion that the possibilities are endless.

If you're planning on throwing a Fourth of July celebration, contact your local florist for help in choosing the perfect floral arrangements and other accents to make your party memorable and your guests feel special. When you decorate with fresh flowers, it shows your guests that you've taken the time to think about how you can make the surroundings beautiful and enjoyable for them. Your florist can make doing so easier than you ever thought possible.

Your florist is a professional designer who is able to create just the pieces you need to accent and beautify your party location. And, he or she will also have unique, fun ideas that you could use as party favors, to recognize special guests, and to use as centerpieces.

Because flowers come in so many different colors, you'll have a huge selection to choose from even if you decide to go with the traditional red, white, and blue theme. Although your florist will be able to show you many flowers he or she has available, here are some flower varieties in the traditional colors to get you started:

Red Flowers: Roses, tulips, carnations, anthurium, gladiolus, freesia, lily, gerbera, chrysanthemum.

White Flowers: Asters, gladiolus, freesia, hydrangea, lily, orchid, chrysanthemum, rose, snapdragons.

Blue Flowers: Delphinium, gladiolus, liatris, irises.


All these beautiful red, white, and blue flowers can be used in many different ways for your party. Your florist can create small, simple centerpieces, or large and elaborate pieces to place in more spacious areas. You can also ask your florist to make special napkin rings or provide single stems to tuck into your napkins or place at each setting. These can double as party favors that your guests can take home. And, since the Fourth of July is a day to celebrate the freedom of our country, you might also consider having corsages and boutonnieres made to honor guests who served in the military.

Talk to your florist about the endless possibilities for using flowers in your Fourth of July celebration. He or she is sure to have many great ideas to suit your needs and light up your party more brightly than the fireworks in the sky.

Tips for Christmas Party Fashion Styles

Guide To Your Perfect Party Look
By Suzy A O'Connor
Preparation. If you are intending to try something new for the Christmas or New Year party we would recommend a trial run prior to the event on a quiet night in, just to check that chosen colours work with your skin tone, hairstyles stay put, and to generally give you a little practice with your overall look. Why not invite a friend over for a 'party dress rehearsal'? You can have great fun together and avoid a last minute panic on your big night out.
Party makeup. At this time of year you can really have fun with you makeup, introducing glitter and shimmer to your look. We also love some of the brights that we have seen this year, including red hues on the eyes, how festive! Try smoky eyes and nude, glossy lips or go for festive gold or seasonal silver, the options are endless. If you like to stay with your usual look why not add a dot of shimmer and blend into the middle of your upper eyelids, it will really open up your eyes. Likewise, a dab of shimmer in the centre of your bottom lip will emphasise your pout. Have fun with your makeup by trying something new, but don't go too far and end up looking like a drag queen - unless that is the look you're going for of course!
Party hair. Your hair can really add to your image so make the most of it with plaits, quiffs or a fabulous up-do. Ask a hair stylist for ideas when you go for your next cut or colour and try something new. Pick up some of the pretty accessories that are around, they can provide an easy way to brighten up your hairstyle. We would not recommend a last minute home dye, it may have worked for Cheryl Cole but that's no guarantee that it will for you. If you are toying with the idea of a colour change always think it through and go to a professional colourist.
Shoes. Just because it's cold outside it doesn't mean that you can't wear pretty heels, just be sure that you have lifts organised both to and from the venue, and please break any new shoes in before your night out. This season's trends include buckled and laced shoes, kitten heels and wedges. Our favourite look for party shoes involves the recent obsession with velvet. If you can find a pair of velvet heels they will really add a touch of modern glamour to your outfit. Embellished shoes always look pretty for Christmas and New Year parties too; think gemstones, mirrors, crystals, and even feathers and bows.
Dresses. Gold and red dresses work really well over the Christmas period but if these colours aren't for you then you can try anything with a little sequin detail, or dress up you LBT with some gorgeous jewellery or an artificial fur wrap.
Have fun!
