Ball season and preparations

It's a new year. Everything is ahead and everything can be even better than it was last year. Even a ball. And because every year starts with a dance and ball season, it's time to prepare. Let us inspire you with insider tips to make you feel like a princess at this year's ball.

One month before the ball

Tickets

You won't be able to do it without tickets this year. So if you don't have tickets yet, it's already time to buy them.

Dress code

Find out what dress code is required for the ball to avoid a socially unacceptable faux pas. There are stricter rules for men than for women. Ladies will not make a mistake when buying long evening dresses. Start looking for them now. You can also order them online. You have 14 days to return unsuitable goods. Do not neglect the shoes. Be sure to choose dancing shoes so that you do not have to leave the ball before midnight like Cinderella.

Hair

When it comes to hairstyle, you have two options. You can handle the hairstyle by yourself at home or come to a professional hairdresser. If you prefer option B, do not hesitate more than a minute to order. The same procedure applies to makeup or nail treatment. But if you dare and comb your own hair, at the end of the article you will find a tip for a simple hairstyle. Be sure to try it several times in advance.

A week before the ball

Book your favourite bar

Plan a meeting place with your friends. Book a bar where you can have a drink before the ball starts.

New shoes

Shoes that are mismatched or too tight can ruin your whole evening. Therefore, start wearing new shoes and try dancing in them.

Meet with a hairdresser

Go to your makeup artist and hairdresser and decide how you want your hair and makeup to look. Make sure you have a photo of your outfit as well as inspirational hairstyles that you like.

One day before the ball

Prepare your outfit

Don't try on anything new. Your outfit is already perfect. Just iron your limb and remove any stains. If there is serious dirt, you still have time to go to the quick laundry.

The night before the ball

Sleep

Enjoy a good night's sleep. Take a long hot bath with lavender essence. If you want a truly luxurious bath, the brand Oribe has developed a collection for these moments Côte d'Azur. Make a lemon balm tea and air in the bedroom just before bedtime. Fresh air is essential for a restful sleep.

Morning before the ball

Have your handbag ready

For a ball, a miniaudie or font style handbag is ideal. Put your tickets, perfume, setting powder, lipstick and tissue in your handbag. 

Time for hairstyle and make-up

Hairstyle and makeup take time. Therefore, plan a reserve for possible improvement. Use a tanning product if you love tanning and want to look less pale.

Enjoy the evening!

Romantic hairstyle:

1. wash your hair with a moisturising shampoo and treat it with the same conditioner. A good example is the Sebastian Professional Hydre moisturising range.

2. blow dry the hair with a round brush until it is smooth.

3. use hair oil to prevent frizz and ensure a perfect shine.

4. comb the hair into a ponytail. Leave one strand (from the bottom of the ponytail) aside.

5. secure the ponytail with an elastic band. Now thread the ponytail into a hair styling tool to make a donut.

6. thread the ponytail into the donut and roll up to the head.

7. fix the bun with hair clips.

8.Now grab the loose thread and wrap it around the bun. Use this trick to mask any imperfections. Secure the strand with hair clips.

9. fix the hairstyle with hairspray. The tip for a really luxurious hairspray that is perfect for the occasion is from Oribe.
