Need inspiration for a fun, yet elegant party theme?  STOP and STARE, because this Kentucky Derby Garden Party is both stunning and fun! We had a blast playing around with a bright colorful palette, that would stand out against all the green in the garden.  Using roses, topiary, white tents and pearls added just the right amount of glam, this little princess wanted for her party. Check out all of the pretty, little DYI details in this party and get inspired!

Bella’s party logo was added to many of her party details…like this beautiful multi-color horse, that served as her dessert table backdrop! (now available for purchase in our shop).

This beautiful spread was glammed out in pinks, whites and greens…we decorated shoe horses with paper flowers (see tutorial), arranged flowers & served the food on silver platters.

The Garden was set with a huge white tent, hanging pink banners,tissue paper balls and green topiary. The chairs had “horse tails”, which were used as decoration and as horse tails for the guests to wear!
