Après Le Masque 🎭 ⚜️
A night layered in detail, culture, and intention.
The transformation of
@freshcollectivenc set the tone from the moment guests arrived. The space carried the spirit of Mardi Gras through every element. Tables were dressed in rich green, purple, and gold, accented with beads and coins that brought movement and texture to the design.
Each centerpiece told its own story. A bayou inspired arrangement of moss and lush greenery grounded the table, creating depth and a sense of place. Fleur de lis details carried throughout, from the napkin rings to the menu design, tying everything together with subtle nods to New Orleans tradition.
Surrounded by the art of
@theblackpeace_ , the room felt immersive and expressive. Cocktail tables held the Cana Paradox Designs magazine alongside styled décor, giving guests moments to pause, flip through, and engage with the experience beyond the table.
Every guest left with a piece of the night. Purple gift bags finished with gold accents, filled with curated details including fleur de lis tissue paper, a thank you card, wine charms, beads, tokens, moons, masks, and soap provided by
@icecare18 . Small touches that extended the experience beyond the evening.
Even the cocktails carried the theme. Garnished with beads and masks, each drink became part of the visual story, blending seamlessly into the environment.
The energy matched the design. Laughter, conversation, movement, and connection filled the room from start to finish. It felt vibrant, celebratory, and fully alive.
Magazine now available for purchase. A printed extension of the experience, capturing the details, the creatives, and the moments that made the night what it was.
