Mardi Gras 2015
Mardi Gras is a
party that is celebrated all around the world on the day before Ash Wednesday
as a way to indulge before the start of Lent.
Also know as Fat Tuesday, this year we celebrate it on February 17th. Traditionally, green, purple and gold, party décor
using plenty of shiny beads and flashy masks are used to set the tone for the
festive get together. We have a new approach
to a Mardi Gras table scape - taking it from predictable and ordinary to unexpected
and extraordinary!
White
Ostrich feathers in tall Trumpet vases add height, and a whimsical texture to the
table. We used polished and Mercury votive candles in varying heights to add interest and texture. An elegant and
simple touch to any party. Everyone looks good in candlelight! For more ideas using votive candle holders click here.
Many varied
hues of purple were used to add a stylish play on the obvious Mardi Gras
colors commonly used. We used hydrangea, roses, stock, lisianthus and orchids to create the festive floral design. A charcoal silver
sequin table runner added depth and allowed for the candlelight to bounce and
sparkle.
We “Jazzed”
it up in true News Orleans style by using authentic instruments as table
accents. Various brass horns warmed up
the table and added a playful reminder of NOLA.
Whatever
your plans for Mardi Gras, make sure you fill it with love and laughter and
share it with family and Friends!
