It’s Mardi Gras Time!

March 2nd, 2011 by Christi

Next Tuesday is Mardi Gras, 2011! Thought I would go back and visit some Mardi Gras party tables (along with a few party pics) from the past. Enjoy!

The main table was spread with a gold toned spread and the centerpiece is a glass hurricane that is filled with green and gold ornaments and then draped with Mardi Gras beads. As you can see, pretty much everything was draped with beads!

Please excuse the hand with the drink in the pic below :) Just wanted to show you the purple, green and gold napkins. The traditional Mardi Gras colors. There is also a tray of glasses just waiting to be filled with a delicious drink.

Lots of great food on the table.

Good food and good fun.

There was another table in another area with a punch bowl full of mint julep punch. YUMMY!

In the kitchen, we draped the kitchen bar with another gold cloth and created a little platform for the King Cake. You can see the pretty blue pitcher on the end is even draped with beads. Oh, and yes, that is a gaudy, lit up coconut tree in the background. There was another one on the front porch so everyone would know where the party was.
