    A Meaningful Memorial Day: Tablescapes, Decor and Delicious Inspiration

    ByMary Crozier May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

Growing up in Connecticut, the end of May marked the start of better, warmer weather with longer days, a fashion thumbs up to wear white, our town’s Memorial Day parade and the end of school. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, it’s a day of remembrance—for honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering, a picnic, or a dinner at home, incorporating thoughtful, patriotic details into your tablescape, decor, and food can help set the tone for a day that’s both celebratory and respectful.
