Mardi Gras which is French for Fat Tuesday refers to the events of the Carnival celebration, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Three Kings. It is the day before Ash Wednesday.
A rich purple tablecloth sets the mood for these colorful tablescape. Purple, green and gold are my colors for this fun table.
For the King cupcakes, I am using these cute gold crowns I purchased from Amazon. They come with little domes if you want to add candy or something else inside.. I chose to use my upside down and topped it with another and added my cupcakes.
I also bought the darling Mardi Gras little cupcake wrappers and picks
The masks are a Dollar Tree purchase, along with the beads. Gold chargers sit beneath the glass golden plates and then a purple and gold salad plate. A crown napkin ring is holding the napkins. Golden goblets with gold flatware complete the look.
I layered the beads in the tall glass vase. I then added a small chunk of floral foam, so I could stick the different colored feathers to create a tall floral centerpiece.
Enjoy your "Fat Tuesday." I also sharing a few masks created by Mackenzie Childs especially for Mardi Gras.

Filling the tall vase with colorful beads is ingenious as it brings color all the way to the top of your feathery plumes. A very festive table.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you create the most festive tables! I love the idea of the mini crowns to hold the cupcakes. I can see lots of uuses for those crowns. I need to order some. No Mardi Gras celebration here, so I'll pull up a chair and feast at your fabuous table! "Laissez les bon temps rouler"
ReplyDeleteI love the centrepiece in the traditional Mardi Gras colours! But I love, love, LOVE those individual King Cupcakes! I hope one of them has a little Baby Jesus inside!

How festive! Mardi Gras isn't a big deal here -- but boy, this would be the table to have if it was!

Super colorful table, Linda! Just the way I like them.
ReplyDeleteThat magnificent feather centerpiece is so grand and gathers guests to a fun and festive table. How creative you were with those gold crowns by turning them over and using them to serve your little cupcake "King" cakes! Laissez les bon temps rouler!
ReplyDeleteHola Linda, no se que decirte has preparado una mesa espectacular, todo te ha quedado precioso, pero sobre todo esas coronitas... dan el toque final. Me pregunto ¿dónde guardas todas esas maravillas cuando no las usas?, debes tener montones de armarios.
ReplyDeleteEs curioso las costumbres de cada pais, aqui en España celebramos el Jueves lardero o jueves gordo. Yo vivo en Cataluña, aquà tenemos otro idioma y celebramos el "dijous gras" jueves gordo y la tradición es reunirse para tomar tortilla de butifarra de huevo y coca de chicharrones. Como ves cada uno a su estilo celebramos las mismas cosas. Un besote y repito una mesa fabulosa
Your tablescapes are always over the top gorgeous. I do love them, and this one is very nice! Where in the world did you find the Courtley Check masks? They are fantastic! xoxo, RJ
