I’m happy to have our first blog post the week of Mardi Gras.
It’s such a festive and expressive holiday – I love that it is filled with tons of color, allure and fun!
I always think weddings should be a big celebration and what is a bigger celebration than Mardi Gras.
You could use masks or a king cake, but I think the coolest way to create a little Mardi Gras inspiration would be to use the colors of the holiday.
Did you know the colors you see at Mardi Gras, purple, green and gold, all have symbolic meanings?
The official colors of Mardi Gras were chosen by Rex, King of Carnival, in 1892.
• Purple represents justice
• Green represents faith
• Gold represents power.
Every color evokes a special emotion inside us and that’s why color can be a great way to personalize your wedding no matter what you choose.
