Oh when the saints go marching in! Get ready to party with this Mardi Gras inspired table setting! To create this look, I started by making a balloon garland out of emerald green, quartz purple and metallic gold balloons. Using a Balloon Decorating Strip can help you quickly and easily create a balloon garland for your party. Instead of using the Metallic Fringe Mardi Gras Table Skirt for the table, I used it as a backdrop behind the balloon garland. You can tape the table skirt to the wall or attach it and the balloon garland to a Premium Backdrop Frame.
For the centerpiece, I simply filled a Glass Jar Set with green and purple Gumballs. I also added a couple Styrofoam Cones wrapped in Mardi Gras Beads to the centerpiece. Drape strands of green, purple and gold beads on and around the glass jars for even more interest.
Attach a Mardi Gras Sequin Jester Half Mask using Hot Glue to the Styrofoam Cone for a little extra flair!
Place Prismatic Mardi Gras Dinner Plates on top of Gold Chargers for a beautiful, layered look. Embellish the plate by adding a Colorful Masquerade Mask to the edge of each plate setting.
Purple Patterned Plastic Wine Glasses are a beautiful way to add your favorite beverage to the table.
Wrap Purple Cutlery in Prismatic Mardi Gras Beverage Napkins, tie with a strand of Purple Ribbon and attach a crown from the Mardi Gras Beads Assortment to the ribbon. Your guests will love this little added touch to their place setting.
Create a colorful and festive DIY Mardi Gras Chair Backer for each guest at your party. You can find the full tutorial for the Mardi Gras Chair Backer HERE! Tie the wreaths onto the back of each chair and when the party is over, give them to guests so they can use them as a wreath for their own doors!
This Mardi Gras Directional Sign Cardboard Stand-Up is the perfect prop to bring a dash of Bourbon St. to the party! Hang Mardi Gras Beads, Masks or hats from the posts and have guests help themselves to fun Mardi Gras Masks.
I hope you enjoyed this Mardi Gras bash that has a dash of colorful New Orleans style!
