Ball season and preparations

It's a new year. We can make everything 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  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. 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 to make a reservation. The same applies to makeup or nail treatment.

A week before the ball

Make a reservation at your favourite bar

Plan a meeting place with your friends. Make a reservation at the 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 the new shoes and try dancing in them.

Meet with a hairdresser

Go to your makeup artist and hairdresser. 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. Just check if everything is all right with your dress and iron it if necessary.

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 tea and let fresh air in the bedroom just before bedtime. Fresh air is essential for a good sleep.

Morning before the ball

Have your handbag ready

For a ball, a smaller handbag is ideal. Put your tickets, perfume, lipstick and tissues in your handbag. Be prepared for everything.

Time for hairstyle and make-up

Hairstyle and makeup take time. Therefore, make sure you have some time for possible improvements. Use a tanning product if you love tanning and want to look less pale.

Enjoy the evening!
