Kentucky Derby Party Decoration Ideas – Fancy or Casual

There are two types of Kentucky Derby party decorations you can choose from.   This is because there are two types of people that will attend the races.  There are those who will be wearing their jeans and country style Derby hats, and then there are those who are more fancy that will be wearing silks and fancy Derby hats.   It could be fun having your guests dress up in the fanciest attire and treat them to tea and sandwiches.

If fancy is not your cup of tea, then fire up the grill for a barbeque.   No matter which type of party you choose, Kentucky Derby party decorations will be what makes your party unique and stand out from the rest.

Kentucky Derby Party Decorations – Roses

Roses can be used at either a fancy or casual party.  The Kentucky Derby has been known as the “Run for the Roses.” Each year, the winning horse will receive a thick blanket of roses that is placed over his neck during the winner’s circle ceremony.

Kentucky Derby Party Decorations – Fancy

  • Set up small round tables in the grass.  Cover them with white linen tablecloths.  Linens will create an elegant and classy environment.
  • Cover chairs with linens and bows.
  • Have silver vases of varying heights grouped together in the center of the tables.  Fill them with red roses.
  • Have a red carpet set out to welcome your guests.  Just use a red flat sheet and fold it in thirds.  A red rug will work, as well.
  • Use your finest silver, crystal, and china.
  • Create huge bouquets of roses.
  • Purchase or create a horseshoe shaped wreath of red roses.  Use this as a centerpiece for your table or hand on the wall.
  • Create banners that label different areas of the room.   Some banners to include in a fancier party are:  “The Grandstand”, “The Winners’ Circle”, “The Owner’s Box”, and “Millionaire’s Row.”
  • Design horseshoes covered in roses.

Kentucky Derby Party Decorations – Casual

  • Create a banner for the finishing line.
  • Use napkins, paper plates, etc. that have the Kentucky Derby theme.
  • Put a tightly packed red rose bouquet in a silver Mint Julep cup in the center of the table.  Have small candles or mini horseshoes scattered all around the flowers.
  • Create place cards in the shape of horseshoes out of white cardstock.
  • Make small banners to label different areas of the room.  For the bar, make a banner that says, “The Watering Trough.”  For the buffet table, have a banner that says, “The Feedbag.”
  • Decorate with spring flowers or roses.
  • Display horse figures.
  • Put up posters of horses.

These Kentucky Derby party decorations are sure to get your guests pumped up and excited for the races to begin.
