You’re planning your dream New Orleans wedding and trying to decide on unique favors for guests. Rather than opting for something generic, why not go for something that turns your reception into an unforgettable New Orleans-style party? Enter Natalia Foltea, owner of Mardi Gras Wholesale, Inc., who creates custom wedding beads for 80 to 120 couples every year.
The most popular designs include personalized name and date beads, elegant fleur-de-lis motifs and hand-painted medallions featuring umbrellas, masks, initials or wedding crests. Many couples also match their wedding colors into custom strand combinations.
Choose hand-strung beads for a refined, elegant vibe — perfect for memorable keepsakes — or choose machine-strung beads for a lighter, tossable option that’s ideal for second line parades and dance floor shenanigans. Either way, you get total customization with endless color and design possibilities. 228-265-1794, customweddingbeads.com
