Romantic, dramatic, colourful and full on fun! If you are thinking of a winter wedding, there is no better concept than a Mardi Gras inspired wedding! We absolutely love a good party and these festival vibes are the perfect antidote for the winter blues!

Nothing creates excitement like receiving the perfect wedding invite! This one really can be so playful with a fun script, feathers and bold colours! But if playful is not your thing and you are going for a more romantic feel – black and gold accents with a dreamy script will really do the trick! Acrylic, laser cut or foil, honestly this is one way to give your guests a little taste of the of what’s to come while still keeping them guessing!

We love the quirky little embellishments that can be incorporated into your reception space (our historic ballrooms and your vision = picture-perfect)! Floral centerpieces can be adorned by draped beads, flowing feathers and embellished with jewels! A cute touch would be to welcome your guests with elaborately decorated street signs (that can also be used in your seating chart and table numbers) and there are so many different ways you can make use of the gorgeous masks that are symbolic of Mardi Gras while still being able to completely tailor it to you and your loves wedding style!

Let’s be real – this is one party where live entertainment is a must! Jazz performers, a live band or a unique performance will totally captivate your audience and have them dancing and singing all night long!

Spice up your dinner menu with Cajun, seafood or jambalaya and treat your loved ones to a traditional New Orleans dining experience! Captivate their sweet tooth with Banana Foster and indulge their taste buds with some specialty drinks like The Hurricane, Pimm’s Cup or Ramos Gin Fizz to bring all the flavour!
