This is for a Derby party (or Belmont, or Preakness). I started with a green silk table runner (bought on super sale at the Pottery Barn outlet a million years ago). I took a plastic horse and two plastic trophies and spray painted them with a bright metallic silver. I used these along with a metal vase that has a trophy shape to it, and some mercury glass votive holders. Since I am using only what I have in the house, I used some artificial peonies and other silk flowers, but would use real flowers for the occasion. It would be especially cute to use red roses for the Derby, white carnations for the Belmont, and black eyed susans for the Preakness.
I used white dishes, flatware, glassware, silver plated julep cups, and pretty pink and green floral napkins for the place settings.



Cute, pretty sure I was with you when you bought that runner!
