Purple Bridesmaid Dresses

Pair bridesmaid dresses in a saturated purple hue with sunflowers for a stylish nod to the wild event.

Masquerade Inspired Cake

The truly die-hard Mardi Gras lovers would feature a king’s cake, but this purple, green and black cake is still fit for a king!

Not ready to go all out Mardi Gras style? Purple shoes add just a hint of festivity.

Mardi Gras Bead Motif Escort Cards

Instead of tossing beads, incorporate a bead design onto the escort cards.

Put the finishing touch on a bright purple bouquet with a rhinestone encrusted fleur-de-lis for a glam edge.

Mask Favors

Treat your guests to a taste of mystery with masquerade mask favors.
