""Known as the Run for the Roses, the Derby is best celebrated with a touch of this classic floral choice. An overflowing centerpiece never fails: vary heights and add greenery to keep the arrangement loose and understated, and use sweetheart roses for a less expensive variety.""
""Equestrian accents are a festive addition to any Derby party, but should be executed with subtlety to keep the theme from venturing into tacky territory. Little details—napkins tied with a leather string, a colorful Derby-colored silk ribbon affixed to a menu—can evoke the equestrian theme without being too on the nose.""
Kentucky Derby parties can be made unique and memorable by incorporating signature cocktails, equestrian-themed decor, and southern-inspired menus. Event designer Tara Guérard suggests using an overflowing centerpiece of sweetheart roses and greenery for a classic floral touch. Subtle equestrian accents, such as leather-tied napkins and trophy-gold rimmed glassware, can enhance the theme without being overly obvious. These elements contribute to a festive atmosphere that celebrates southern charm and the Derby tradition.
