CHOOSING THE RIGHT STYLE OF MASK DEPENDS ON WHICH TYPE OF MASKED BALL YOU ARE PARTYING AT

BLACK TIE MASKED BALL

Choose a Luxury Half Face Mask

Usually quite formal with strict dress codes

Ladies – Evening dress. If dress is elaborate choose a simple design. If dress is understated choose a dramatic embellished mask with jewels and feathers

Choose any mask

Dress code is not usually stated, however, venue should give you an idea. If held in castle, manor house or hotel dress formal. If held in local village hall dress smart casual. The whole idea of these Charity Balls is to raise money – don’t forget to check with the organiser to see if they have setup a Charity code with Just Posh Masks.

Ladies – Any half face masks, with or without feathers, elaborate or understated. The choice is yours

Choose a luxury half-face mask

Itinerary will tell you about colour scheme or theme

Bride and Groom – you set the rules here – simply pick the theme you want, whether it is fun, characterful or colouring, then pick your chosen masks and tell the guests. If you want guests to have masks on sticks then provide flower vases on the tables for them to place in. Makes for lovely table decorations with every table different

If you want to supply the masks then go for ones on sticks and place in large vases in reception or on tables

An elaborate affair held every year to mark the start of lent

SWEET 16 MASQUERADE

Pick your colour scheme and work around this

A popular theme is to buy blank masks and hand out invitations, getting guests to decorate them themselves

Girls – Dresses or skirts with smart tops teamed with a pretty mask

Choose any mask that matches your character

Ladies – Your very best Prom dress. Match colouring and decide whether you want your dress to sparkle or your mask. If dress is elaborate go for a plain mask so as not to detract from the dress. If your dress is simple but stunning then add some sparkle and feathers, to your outfit, with the mask

There are no rules here unless the tickets give a dress code. Christmas and New Year Balls are fully of sparkle and celebration

With this in mind, choose any mask that takes your fancy, from a plain budget mask to a luxury crystal encrusted mask, from a feathered mask to a Venetian character Bauta or nose mask, the choice is yours

Ladies – If your dress is the “little black number” then compliment it with a plain colour mask, contrast it with a splash of colour, or highlight it with one of our luxury black masks with Swarovski crystals. If you are dressing smart casual, then the same rules apply, match it or contrast it. If you are wearing a fascinator in your hair then don’t choose a feathered mask, if you intend to go for no hair accessories then the feather masks add a touch of glamour
