You don’t have to go all the way to Louisville to celebrate the Kentucky Derby (though we highly recommend it) – plan your very own Chicago Event with these Derby Party Essentials!
Crate & Barrel Mint Julep scented candles will really set the mood and add that festive fragrance tone for your party! The uniquely blended scent recreates the warm and caramel-like aroma of Kentucky bourbon mixed with a hint of mint. Pure bliss!
The Vagabond House’s pure pewter Horseshoe Julep cups allow you to serve the illustrious staple beverage in true traditional fashion. It’s deep and sturdy, designed perfectly for muddling, while the pewter keeps the drink chilled properly.
The mint, coral, and gold tassel garland is a must have! Let’s be honest – who doesn’t love a tassel garland?
Your guests can place friendly bets before ‘the fastest 2 minutes in sports’ takes off. The winner can go home with a beautiful trophy, as well as their winnings! That’s a win-win all around!
It’s only fitting to include red roses for your ‘race for the roses’ celebration and there are so many ways to include them. We L’s love our floral arrangements! Roses are so versatile allowing you to merge them in a stunning elaborate fashion, or simple, understated elegance.
Here are a couple swoon-worthy examples of both ways:
Set the stage for your party by selecting the perfect party invitations like the chalkboard ones we found.
It’s all about the details for any great celebration and the True Fabrications Old Kentucky Home Appetizer Picks are a great example. These elegant picks are inspired by both the 1930’s and the Kentucky derby. We love the vintage holding cup that the set includes!
The pewter Vagabond House salt and pepper set is another illustration of how the small details can really pull together your soiree in a big way!
