Kentucky Derby Fashion Inspiration

by in Fashion and Style, Main on

We’ve looked at inspiration and flowers, so now it’s time for fashion! Photographer Annie Edmonds sent over these lovely images of Southern belles in their Derby finery, and I don’t know about you, but they sure make me want to grab a mint julep and hitch the next ride to Kentucky for this weekend’s festivities! Are any of y’all lucky enough to be going to the races?

    This will be a barn wedding and the bridesmaids will be wearing dark navy dresses empire dress with navy sequins under the breast. Do you think the sequins on the dress are to much to wear with brown boots? The band of sequins are about 2 to 3 inches wide. They are very pretty on and come right at knee. The guys are wearing khakis and a white shirt.

Southern Wedding Inspiration Board: Run for the Roses

by in Color Palettes and Inspiration Boards, Main on

The Kentucky Derby is this weekend! Before you run off to dig out your largest sunhat and pluck some fresh mint leaves, sit back for a minute and soak in some run for the roses inspiration.

Vintage trophy cups, a brilliant red rose bouquet, chilled mint juleps, a merry Sperry tent set next to the racetrack… I’d say this is beautiful inspiration for a Southern wedding!

    Confession: I loved the derby inspiration board posts from last year so much that I have been seriously looking forward to what y’all would come up with this year! So, so gorgeous, and the perfect classic inspiration for a Southern wedding!

    Just wanted to add in that my amazing bridesmaids through me a GORGEOUS shower that was derby-inspired. It was so much fun, and all of the guests were remarking on how unique it was. I am a professional rider, so it fit my passion perfectly. All of the guests were instructed to come dressed in their best derby outfits, complete with the hats! It was so much fun… I think it would be great to do a column on shower themes :) Keep up the great work, this site is my fave for planning… I will be leaving you all very soon, however, as I am getting married in just NINE days! ( and 2 hours and 58 minutes, but who’s counting??) wooohoo!

      That sounds awesome, Stephanie! Good luck with these last few days pre-wedding, but don’t feel like you have to leave us right away!! :)
