Kentucky Derby Themed Shower

Talk Derby to me 😉😉

My beautiful friend Mary is getting married in August so this Spring I hosted her “bridal shower”. She had got married in a private ceremony the year before (thanks Covid) so we just had a small gathering of close friends for her shower.

Her and her hubs love Bourbon so we thought it would be perfect to have a Kentucky Derby themed shower! We had a bourbon bar with all the fixin’s to make some delicious cocktails- blackberry simple syrup, mint, ginger beer, basil, blueberries, etc

Since the derby is also called “the running of the roses” we made sure to have tons of flowers everywhere!

We also had “Mary-mosas”, horse betting with names of all her ex boyfriends, a selfie area, and cute little banners.

It was a gorgeous day so we spent a lot of the afternoon outside in our derby-wear, including all of our awesome hats!

After we spent some quality time together and opened her gifts from us we treated our bride to be to a fancy dinner in town!

It was a great day/night celebrating a beautiful bride to be!
