I love Parties and costume Parties and I would LOVE to go or HAVE a Masquerade Ball and Jane In Her Infinite Wisdom started this whole thing of dreaming and GeoGypsy ran with it, so below is my dream Masquerade Ball!!! Enjoy my Fantasy!!

 

The Chandeliers ARE the tone!

My Masquerade Chandelier! A good 3 or 4 would work!!

 

Enter The Grand Ball Room with spectacular Chandeliers!!

Ooooo! aaaaaah! This Ballroom is pretty! It is in Boston!! Let's Go!!!

Now,  THE music!!

An orchestra!!

And REAL Singers!!!

No autotone performers!! Now, I need to be nice.

An orchestra with topnotch singers!!

Got the Orchestra!

 

Now, who can sing with an Orchestra, think?

Got It!!!

 Celine Dion!!

Celine Dion has the voice to handle an Orchestra!

So sorry but I would make her sing this!!!

(my party y’all)

And Whitney Houston!

Whitney Houston has a beautiful strong voice!

My Favorite Whitney Song!

Now, what about a nice young gentleman???

Maybe, Michael Buble?

He sings beautifully and he is quite nice on the eyes too!!!

We have the room, the music and now we need the decorations,food and drink!

The room should be decorated simply and elegantly!

Fresh flowers!

A mix of wintery green with winter whites, golds and silver!

White candles on all the tables and mixed throughout the room!

A winter Flower arrangement with off white candle!

Oh! The Tiger Lily adds just the right amount of drama!

I shall keep the decorations simple because the People and the beautiful costumes will be the main attraction!!

It is a New Year’s Eve Masquerade Ball, so the food must be elegant and elaborate!

An array of appetizers!

Imported Cheeses, Shrimp Cocktail,artichokes,stuffed mushrooms and of course antipasto!

My Favorite Appetizer!

The Main Course!

Filet Mignon

Salmon

Caesar Salad or Wedge of Salad

My guests may choose from an assortment of sides!

Au gratin potatoes, baked potatoes, Southern Style Green Beans,Asparagus, Cottage Cheese, Tomato Salad

I would switch to the Southern Style Green Beans but YUMMY!!!

Now My Favorite Part, Dessert!

A Dessert Table!

Actually Several Dessert Tables!!!

Chocolate Mousse,Chocolate Cake,New York Cheesecake,Carrot Cake,

Apple Pie,Cherry Pie,Pumpkin Pie,Raspberry Pie(a la mode if one wishes)

An Array of cookies

A Sundae Table

A Chocolate Fountain with Strawberries

Divine

A table with an assortment of Candy

Now, of course it is New Year’s Eve so…

An Open Bar but….

Pink Champagne at Midnight!!!!

Happy New Year!!

Now, you probably have learned a tad bit about me by my Masquerade Ball!

It is a Formal Ball!

How will I dress FORMAL and my mask will be elegant!

I hope my guest would come FORMAL!!

Not looking like this

The Sexy Informal Masquerade!

But I would never turn a guest away or make them feel uncomfortable!

Now, don’t get me wrong, I like the above costume from time to time but that would be a different type of party!

On occasion I enjoy a FORMAL affair!

My New Year’s Eve Masquerade Ball Fantasy is Formal

AND HERE IS MY BALL GOWN!

A Velvet Ball Gown!

 At A Masquerade Ball the Mask is EVERYTHING!!!

My Mask!!

The Perfect Masquerade Mask!

 

Now, time to Party!

  Dance!  Eat! Drink! and Be Merry!!

Dreaming of Dancing like Fred Astaire, how Romantic!

Or some fun Dirty Dancing!!

I had such a wonderful time dancing at your party. And stuffed myself on all the chocolate treats. Love your costume and that mask is to die for.

Thanks for attending.

Happy New Year!

Wow, I had a great time at your party. The music and singing was fantastic, I danced so much and needed to after the delicious menu. I do enjoy chocolate and champagne. Your guests appreciate all of the finery from flowers to frocks; and now to nap…and sweet dreams.

Happy New Year, Lucy!

I really enjoyed your party! Although I don;’t dance, I love watching, and Patrick Swayze is the bomb!
