Firstly, I have never been to New Orleans, so I have not experienced Mardi Gras, but I would imagine its unforgettable! This wreath is loaded with colors you would expect to see during Mardi Gras; purple, golden yellow, black and green. These colors are represented in this SooBoo Designs fabric wreath which has the colorful beads along with the strewn feathers in all these colors on the black background which makes those famous colors stand out. Along with this design, are a wide variety of ribbon. The ranges of ribbon widths are 3/8” to 7/8” and are all the colors of the pattern with a few extra chartreuse ribbons in there for a punch of color! The ribbons textures are grosgrain, satin and organza and are either solid, striped, checkered or polka dot! What a wonderful wreath to hang year round in New Orleans on your front door or in a special nook in your home. An LSU or New Orleans Saints fan would love this too! I would like to believe that each individual handmade wreath attracts their future owner. The fabrics call out to the potential buyer, and an instant connection of the theme of the patterns of the wreath are made. This happens to me when shopping for every single fabric for a SooBoo Designs wreath! Whether it is in person or online, one of my most favorite things is finding the theme. For this wreath, when I saw this awesome pattern, my mind went immediately to the fact that my son is holding his bachelor party in New Orleans! Plus, I’ve never done a wreath of this kind of before! I love the pattern size for this wreath and this color combination makes me smile as it is one of my favorites together! SooBoo Designs wreaths are all handmade. Much time is spent choosing the coordinating fabrics and then cutting, sewing, turning, stuffing and finally, assembly. Each one is like my little child. I love doing these wreaths especially because I know those who choose to purchase from SooBoo Designs will really marvel at how adorable and precious they are when you get to see our items with your very own eyes.
