Kentucky Derby Hats

As much a part of the Derby as the race itself, the Derby hat has become an expression of style and personality. The right hat can make the look one of sophistication or relaxed elegance or just plain fun. The Derby hat lets your guests become as much of your party theme and décor as your centerpieces.

Derby Fashion

The Derby is the day to see...and to be seen. The notables of high society want to make a statement about their sense of fashion and style. And with such an example to follow, it's hardly surprising that everyone else joins in. How your guests choose to attire themselves will set your party apart!

Red Carpet

The red carpet is rolled out every year and lined with rose petals to greet the many, many celebrities attending the Derby. The privilege of walking the red carpet conveys your VIP status and credentials as a trend setter. Perhaps a red carpet unfurled at the entrance to your party will tell your guests their importance to you.

Infield Revelry

Even the infield has its own rules and sense of style...from the casual to the outright zany! These revelers don't let anyone forget that Derby style also means fun. If your party is taking on a more casual tone, maybe these photos will spark some ideas to link it with the Churchill Downs infield!
