| Wedding MasksWhen you hear the term "masquerade" it typically evokes
such images as Mardi Gras, Carnival processions and parades. An
increasingly popular type of masquerade is emerging in the form of
masquerade weddings. Some people scoff at the idea of a masquerade
wedding envisioning the bawdy images of Mardi Gras parades and
half-dressed Carnival parade dancers. I've even heard it said
that masquerades are not meant to be at a wedding. We beg to differ. In the 1300's masquerade balls were richly elaborate and elegant pageants meant to celebrate marriages as well as other major medieval court events. In fact, the first known masquerade wedding in history took place in 1393 to celebrate the marriage of a lady in waiting to the French Queen. These ostentatious costumed dances were reserved for those of high born status or royals. Masquerade weddings are part of history and not as farfetched as some might think. Planning a masquerade wedding is no more difficult than planning any other wedding. The first decision to be made is the overall atmosphere that you wish to create. If you and your groom are the more casual fun type then you might choose a Mardi Gras or Carnival style theme for your masquerade wedding. A more elegant and sophisticated take on the masquerade wedding theme would be one that encompassed a more formal attire and perhaps looked to the famous masquerade ball scene from Phantom of the Opera. No matter which style you choose there will still be some of the same decisions and choices to be made such as; location or venue, color scheme, decor, cake and wedding favors.
