The Mint Julep Cups was first forged in the 1800s in Kentucky-used for drinks, and soon became a sign wealth ….now they are used for gifts: graduations, Deb Balls, weddings, centerpieces, thank you gifts, horse race winners, and more. We make short nosegay arrangements in them featuring; roses, mini garden hydrangeas, tulips, gerb daisy’s, and blooms that are as pretty as they are (once sterling silver cups-now faux silver).
