How to Set A Kentucky Derby Party Tablescape
The Details
- 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.
- This Synthetic Grass Table Runner gives a great pop of color and can be cut into placemats for a different look.
- Large Plastic Horses are a fun touch to represent the stars of the show.
Fresh roses, greenery, and this 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.
- 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.
Sparkle Tip: Add a touch of happy for guests, family, or beautiful you! These little vases filled with single buds grouped in sets of three are perfect for a bedside table, a breakfast in bed tray, or beside a bathroom sink.
- Red Dinner Hemstitch Napkins folded like roses to represent the official flower of the Kentucky Derby is a lovely touch. Be sure to check out the Sparkling Charm How to Fold A Dinner Napkin Into A Rose video tutorial coming 3:00 EST August 26, 2020.
- Black and White Diamond Print Ribbon tucked under each plate gives a fun derby feel.
- Small Horses
- Mint Julep Shot Glasses
- Chipboard Horse Shoes painted gold.
- Cut crystal bourbon glasses
