Modern Mardi Gras Wedding Inspiration

Do you want to have a Mardi Gras inspired wedding, but don't know where to begin? Check out some of my favorite Fat Tuesday themed weddings incorporating the infamous purple, green and gold that is sure to bring the New Orleans spirit to any location!

Perfect for an outdoor or a vineyard wedding, lose the tablecloth and go for an exotic flower centerpiece.

Whether you want to include the colors in the wedding fashion, stationary, food or in the decor the options are limitless.

Stun your guests with longtables with a soft purple linens and a showstopping ceiling with purple lighting.

Want a vintage look? Select softer variations of the purple and green and incorporate more golds.

Who would have ever thought green apples would make such a gorgeous centerpiece? Not only is it different, but it is also perfect for the cost conscience bride.
