Mardi Gras King
for the Krewe of Katy 2019
My client was voted Mardi
Gras King for the Krewe of Katy as part of the 2019 Mardi Gras festivities.
Many cities throughout the United States celebrate Mardi Gras. The Mardi
Gras of Galveston event is one of the oldest in the country and even
supersedes the better known one that takes place in New Orleans.
This years King was
a former Green Beret, and as such we wanted to incorporate aspects of
his military service along with the traditional conceits of a Mardi
Gras King.
For the color of his jacket
we chose a Green Beret Green, made from a beautiful Duchess
Silk Satin, as were his cream colored slacks. The trimmings were made
of gold bullion stitched trim from India and his epaulets were ordered
from a well known military supplier, then trimmed with the bullion stitched
appliqués. Authentic brass Fleur de Lys buttons added a touch
of authenticity, as did the medals embellishing the uniform.
Let the Good Times Roll!
