This A Day At the Races Derby Bridal Shower was a fantastically planned event from the invites to the execution. With every moment captured beautifully by Bri Morse Imagery, this party was sure to leave a lasting memory in print forever for the bride-to-be to enjoy.

The invitations were adorably done with a blend of fonts that really attracted the eye.  With blue, green and yellow colors, it had an interesting look that stood out marvelously. To bring this A Day At the Races Derby Bridal Shower theme to life, guests were encouraged to dress appropriately for their racing fun, in derby attire.

The venue used for the party was spectacular from the horseshoe greenery to the rustic vibe, it was a cozy option for the guests to hang out and enjoy their time together.  Details that really stood out included a large post office sign that hung in the center of the room, along with a mix of wonderful rustic frames on a fireplace mantle. A sprinkle of bottles with cute flower arrangements finished off the mantle in a lovely way.

For a tasty twist, Kentucky Derby adult beverages were offered at this party, along with a recipe so the guests can enjoy them anytime they wanted. You can create the delicious wonder as well!
