Derby Table Design Inspiration...

Our Kentucky Derby-themed school auction is quickly approaching, and I am helping with the tablescapes...Wanted to gather some fun inspiration pics of Derby parties...I love the idea of the black and white cabana stripe tablecloth or runner with the red roses...super fun graphic with pop of color!  The main challenge is to come up with a concept that is feasible for approx 30 tables - clearly, both the logistics of arrangement and cost add up quickly. Nevertheless, it should be a fun design adventure....

I am thinking of using these green faux grass balls
(that I used for our Christmas table above)
w/ a black and white stripe runner like the one below...

(How darling are these tables from a little girl's birthday party..
Inspiration for the grass balls with striped runner...)

...and for the other half of the tables, red roses with greenery

I prefer the red roses with greenery such as here
vs just the compact ball (as in the photo above)...
looks a bit more organic and fresh

Society Social in Brides Magazine...Carolina Herrera's 'Dream Tablescape'
So much about this I love...From the Quadrille Edo fabric wrapped vases, to the glorious pink roses, to the gold bamboo chairs, 
and the mix of fancy (crystal & china) and casual (bamboo utencils)
...this is perfect in every way!!



Brit.co (Brit + Co) 'Rosebud Paper Napkins'...
simply roll up paper napkins and bunch them together 
in a pretty bowl for a rosebud effect....
