Kentucky Derby Inspiration Wedding @ The Ford Plantation, Savannah GA: Chelsea + James

The Kentucky Derby was last weekend and it’s full of tradition! Inspired by this tradition, history, bright colors and the festive nature of this special event that happens each spring, Chelsea and James decided to bring this to life for their wedding. Using purples, pinks and greens as their color pallet along with contemporary patterns and Derby inspiration, they were able to create a southern Derby style event that makes me want to grab a stylish hat, place a bet and sip on a mint julep while the horses race on by. :)





 And where better to have your Kentucky Derby themed wedding but The Ford Plantation










 Kentucky Derby Hats should make a splash and be noticed



And of course there’s the drink. The Mint Julep is THE drink of the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs, the most important ingredient is the bourbon! Yeah, yeah, or mint…but you can’t really do a mint-tasting bar at your wedding could you? A bourbon-tasting bar sounds much better, don’t you think?







 A Kentucky Derby themed wedding brings elegance and class, and will surely leave your guests drooling.
