6 Steps To A Haute Mardi Gras Party At Home

For the NOLA festivities coming up, also known as our favorite purple, gold and green holiday, we’ve planned out a list of steps to make your at-home New York City Mardi Gras a night you will never forget.

1. The BoaAre we the only ones who never knew about luxury turkey feather boas? They exist, and they are here just in time to spice up your festive Mardi Gras. At Zuckerfeather, a luxury feather accessories company since 1872, they have every color of boa imaginable, and of course a “Mardi Gras Mix” which is our favorite.

2. The DressEveryone knows half the fun of Mardi Gras is dressing up, and just because this year we are celebrating the festivities at home does not mean we can’t look amazing! In true Mardi Gras spirit, we chose a purple sparkly “Cross Draped Evening Gown” by Donna Karan New York. It is a tradition to have an old-school ball on this NOLA holiday and this dress is perfect for just that. We know you might not be going to a full-on ball on a cold Tuesday in NYC, but you can slow dance to your favorite tunes with your one-and-only, or jam to Rihanna’s new album with your besties, and that’s even better.

3. The MaskThe last step of your outfit, (because beads are irrelevant if you can’t throw them at handsome strangers walking by) the mask. Because this is Haute Living and even our Mardi Gras masks need to be luxurious, we’ve chosen to shop for ours at the gorgeous Mask Italia, a company dedicated purely to designing and fabricating handmade Venetian masks in materials such as gold leaf, silk, feathers, crystals, lace and many more. Opt for Italian elegance even on this not-so-haute holiday.

5. The Traditional King Cake
