Our Facebook followers have asked us to post pictures from Mardi Gras and we've listened. The shop has been very busy this spring. We rolled immediately from Valentine's Day into Mardi Gras preparations.
Our Mardi Gras window was decorated in green, purple and gold. Our oversize face cards represent the Kings and Queens of the carnival season.
Thibodeaux's provides custom floral services for our local krewes. We design personal flowers and presentation bouquets for some, and elaborate stage displays and lavish tablescapes for others.
Here are some of our favorites design from Mardi Gras 2011 -
Many of these bouquets are steeped in tradition. The Queen, maids, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses carry flowers similar to what their mothers and aunts carried 50 years ago.
A babies breath head wreath for the little princesses.
A giant white hydrangea bouquet with a collar of feminine silver plaid ribbon wrapped in white satin ribbon.
Our violet inspired bouquet of gorgeous purple stock flower accented with silver loops and galax leaves.
This bouquet of white alstromeria earned our 2011 VIP award, because it held up exceptionally well! A similar design would be perfect for a bridesmaid's or prom bouquet.
This handtied bouquet of purple iris has great texture and such a rich color.
Maids hold a touch of luxury with this white Catalya orchid bouquet, plus it smells absolutely DIVINE!
Our green cymbidium tear drop bouquet as a refreshing alternative to the round bouquet. With wired flowers and fluffy mess ribbon, this bouquet is comfortably light for its size. The tear drop shape is very popular in Europe and is well represented in our German and Dutch design books. I call it "cascade light."
Many krewes recognize the wives of committee members and the Court with the special gift of an orchid corsage delivered to their home the day of the Ball. 
The men are beautifully outfitted as well with mini gardenia corsages such as these. Gardenia are lovely flowers, but extremely fragile. The are only "good" for a few hours, yet many people love and respect it's fleeting beauty.
This purple and yellow freesia boutonniere was my favorite of the season. It puts me in a good mood just looking at it ~ I can only imagine how much fun the ball would have been!
