Mardi Gras Beads

The traditional Mardi Gras colors are green, gold and purple. In addition to providing vibrant hues for decorations, the colors also have a symbolic meaning. Green stands for faith, gold represents power, and purple symbolizes justice. Decorative touches featuring these signature colors easily bring the Mardi Gras spirit to any celebration.

Many colorful Mardi Gras accents come from the traditional parades through New Orleans. Revelers lining the streets catch plastic bead necklaces thrown from the floats. Beads are fun and functional. You can use them as decorations, hand them out as party favors, or just have fun wearing them.
