The Kentucky Derby Party Decor Details

THE TABLE BASE

BURLAP

Neutral Burlap is always a fun texture to add a little sparkle and glam. Measure your table and add 16 inches for the overhang on both ends. To add a fringe to the tablecloth, simply pull the threads along the edges. That easy! Smile! I used two pieces to cover the width of our dining table and used the synthetic grass runner to cover the overlay.

Mini silver glasses from mud pie look like little Derby trophies.

TABLE RUNNER

This Synthetic Grass Table Runner gives a great pop of color and can be cut into placemats for a different look.

TOY HORSES

Large Plastic Horses are a fun touch to represent the stars of the show.

Run for the roses for Derby decor is a must.

FLOWERS AND VASES

Mixed fresh shades of red roses and greenery are the perfect colors for this Kentucky Derby Party Tablescape.
Two’s Company Silver Bud Vases …Wow do I ever love these little beauties ! The unique details of each make it hard to decide which I love best.

CAKE AND CRYSTAL CAKE STAND

Sweet Cream Layer Cake with Rose Water Buttercream topped with more flowers makes a fabulous centerpiece statement.
I found the cake stand in the photo at Home Goods a few years ago for a baby shower. This Cut Crystal Cake Stand is lovely too.
