All the World is a Stage: It is Time for a Masquerade
Masquerade Costumes
The beauty of a Masquerade ball is the simple elegance and the ability to make anything a costume by adding an elaborate mask. If you prefer to wear a glamour evening gown for instance and a masquerade mask that matches, you can- whether it is one that has feathers, beading or other fabulous trim, or a simpler style, it is the perfect accessory for your evening wear. If you prefer to wear the entire costume, then a Renaissance gown and mask combination are perfect for your masquerade.
Masquerade Rules
If you are hosting a masquerade, then it is up to you to make the rules that should be clearly included in the invitations. For instance, while you should not force everyone to wear a mask if they truly prefer not to, those who do wear one should keep it in place until the midnight unveiling. Each guest should choose a persona, although some hosts of the masquerades may choose to assign one to each of the guests at the time of the invitation.
The Different Masquerade Costume Looks
Renaissance costumes are perfect for masquerade and come in every size and style that you can dream of. Choose a wench or ladies gown and add a gorgeous mask. Men can wear the look of a duke, a knight or the executioner (perfect, because it already has a mask to wear). No matter what your favorite color or taste, you will find the right masquerade costume to wear from the endless choices around.
Other Masquerade Costume Options
If you would really like to keep people guessing, wear two different costumes for the masquerade. For instance, you can pose as a vampire posing as something else, perhaps as a knight in shining armor. Imagine everyone’s surprise when you pull off your mask at midnight in a wholly different costume.
A Final Thought
If you have a smaller face, make sure that you are selecting a masquerade mask that fits you correctly. You may have to opt for a children’s sized mask, but there are many beautiful styles to choose from regardless.
