Derby Theme

I have not posted in a long time because I was going through some wedding changes. I moved my location from New Orleans to Hickory North Carolina where my fiance and I fell in love. I found a great wedding planner and she has given me so many ideas for our wedding. I cannot wait to share!
First we are still doing a southern theme, but now it will also incorporate the Kentucky Derby. This means centerpieces of silver vases and mint julep cups filled with lush hydrangeas, peonies, garden roses, and magnolias.
My cocktail hour will feature my signature drink of a mint julep (there will be all other liqueur there too) and yummy passed hor dourves on silver platters such as miniature ham biscuits!
For dinner meats we will have a choice of lamb, shrimp and grits, or Smithfield ham. My mouth is watering just thinking about our yummy food!
I'm still debating whether or not I want my bridesmaids to wear hats or fascinators. I think it would be so fun!
