Ready for the Masquerade Ball!
Lincoln and Matt’s partner company Xavient throws the most incredible parties and every year we look forward to their Christmas party. This year they did not disappoint with a masquerade ball theme! I got ready at Becky’s house where her friend did an incredible braided up do for me and we went all out on the make up! Glitter went everywhere! Becky got her dress on Ebay but I decided to go with Rent the Runway again and I was so happy with my dress! It was just the perfect combination of form fitting but modest enough that I felt covered and not too risqué for a company party! I’m not sure how you top this event but I cannot wait to see what they come up with for next year!
After party prepping at Becky’s house, we hopped in the van and went to the Georgian Ballroom at the Biltmore. This is a place many of my friends had gotten married and one of the locations Linc and I had considered for our own wedding had we stayed in Atlanta. It is incredibly swanky and the entire space was decked out for our event. Jugglers, contortionists, and masked staff greeted us with wine as soon as we entered. There was a choose your own mask station and I ended up trading my red mask out for one that better matched my dress. They even had elbow length gloves for us to use!
The Ladies of BMG- Me, Diane, & Becky
There was a full seated dinner {a wonderful salad with goat cheese, almonds, and strawberries, filet and salmon with hericot verts and potatoes} and more wine than I could even keep up with! Some time during the night there was a champagne toast, an incredible dessert sampler, and then a cirque de soleil-esque show! We danced until 1:30 in the morning and had an absolute blast!
Jamie was the party planner extraordinaire! It took her six months to coordinate our night!
Um, ah-mazing fun!!! You look great!
