Little Red Touches for the Derby Dinner

- A Post Race Dinner Party - that was the theme of the formal table at our recent fundraiser home tour. A fresh moss base held a grapevine root, which we layered with red roses, white hydrangea, and ferns. Antique Rosenthal china on silver chargers, were embellished with red silk organdy napkins, tied with velvet bands and rhinestone horseshoes. Menu cards, using a Spencerian horse graphic from the graphics fairy, described the southern style Derby meal. Antique gold etched compotes held white oriental lilies filled with red raspberries. Brilliant cut crystal decanters were placed on the table to serve your choice of fine Kentucky bourbons. The buffet held a Flemish inspired floral bouquet and was enhanced by the fresh fruit display in the silver compotes. A Chocolate cake topped with red raspberries and a lily was added to the buffet!
