Well, the Regency Ball of this year was certainly an adventure! As planned before, Seriah and I went over to Caitlyn's house to get ready with her, Caitlyn's sisters, Savannah, and McKenzie. Caitlyn did Seriah's hair and makeup. :) We got there late, so Savannah was already in the stylist's chair--AKA the kitchen stool.
Seriah was planning on wearing her dress from last year, but her awesome friend McKenzie offered to make her a dress! So McKenzie made Seriah a dress, and Seriah did McKenzie's hair.
Since doing hair Regency-style takes a loooong time, the girls were kind of crunched for time, but Caitlyn still pulled off a beautiful hairstyle of Seriah. After finishing all the inevitable last minute button-sewing and makeup, the girls slipped into their gloves and capes and posed for pictures beneath the Richey's tree.
L to R: Coryn R., Carissa R., McKenzie, Caitlyn, Seriah, and Savannah
They made it to the ball on time! And funny enough, the theme of this year's ball was peacocks--McKenzie's favorite bird. And Seriah had even got the peacock feathers for her hair! They all thought that was coinsidental. :)
You ladies all look so lovely! I agree, peacocks are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI wish they had Regency Balls around here... but then again it's probably best that they don't, as I the last time I danced with a group of people I tripped and fell, causing a lot of chaos when several others tripped over me and we all ended up in a tangled heap on the floor. :)
This looks amazing, I'd love to attend something like this!
ReplyDeleteIn Britain we have nothing of the sort, which is quite strange as I guess balls originated from here!
Loved reading. :)
