We want our Wedding Party to be a memorable event for all our friends and family, so we've decided to hold a Masked Ball in the medieval St Ferriol Chateau, just 5 minutes from our house in St Julia.
Before you all panic at the thought of having to find a Venetian or Marie Antoinette style costume (unless of course you have one lurking in your wardrobe!), don't worry! Ladies in beautiful dresses and men in suits is great but it's the mask that counts! Bought, borrowed or handmade, freaky, ethnic or sophisticated - anything goes! If you don't have a suit, then find a second hand velvet jacket , make a cape or borrow a pirate shirt with long flowing sleeves!
In our experience of having parties (and we have had lots), the more effort everyone makes, the more electric and exciting the atmosphere is and the more fun it is for everyone.
Apart from drinking, eating and dancing, there will be other surprises throughout the night, so let your imagination run wild and start planning your outfit now!
Below are some images, which might give you some ideas and inspiration - remember the more effort everyone makes the more fun it will be!
For all the other practical details of the party - directions, timings, what to bring etc will put in a later post.
