{#56} new orleans inspiration board

{destination} new orleans, louisiana

{colors} lavender, white, green, gold

{description} happy mardi gras day... i thought today's destination board should be the oldest and famous french quarters in the beautiful city of new orleans. i didnt want this board to scream mardi gras but i wanted to use some elements ...everyone knows that purple, green and gold are the colors of mardi gras but i chose to soften them with light lavender, grassy green and touches of gold. i'm a big fan of tiny desserts so why not serve your guests warm mini beignets with different dipping sauces * and  no new orleans wedding is complete without a second line dance, where the bride and groom dance in line with umbrellas and their guests follow them waving handkerchief...so like a great party.
