Are you ready for the event? #raceetiquette #derbyetiquette
This event has been going on for 144 years! That’s a lot of years for
traditions to be formed.
So let me tell you about one that I love, which is, that this race is also known as “Run of the Roses” because since 1932 the
winner is given a garland of red roses sewn together. The winner of this year’s
Kentucky Derby #kentuckyderby will take home around $1.2 million which is not
bad for two minutes of racing.
Another tradition that I totally love is the outfits that you can see during Derby weekend. So let's get some #derbyetiquette regarding what to wear?
Hat or Fascinator? Both are going to be
seen with glamour around the grounds. Hats tend to be wide-brimmed and inspired
in the Southern Belle look. Fascinators are more popular every year and are easier
to wear since they are secured to your head either with a comb or headband.
#fascinators #hats The dresses that
accompany the headgear should be spring dresses and either pastels or bold
colors that coordinate with your hat.
If you are not going to Churchill Downs, Kentucky this
weekend, it does not mean that you cannot get into the mood by having or
attending a local party to watch those famous two minutes on television and
finding a good excuse to wear that beautiful Fascinator made by Monica Mayer of
#LadyArtWear , that you have not used for a while, all the while sipping some
mint juleps or champagne!
