Long evening gowns

A royal themed party is simply incomplete without the proper attire. Long evening gowns are perfect for this occasion. Contrary to popular opinion, there are many varieties in long gowns and cocktail dresses so you have plenty of options to choose from. From full sleeved to strapless and puffed sleeves to one shoulder; a long side slit or A-line or a perfect body-con fit, the options are endless. You can style it better with a furry scarf around your neck or over your shoulders. Cocktail dresses and evening gowns instantly give off a vibe of royalty and elegance.

Old-fashioned jewellery

When we say royal, it goes without saying that a few things need to be old-fashioned; or better put, conservative. Diamond and pearl jewellery are the best choices. Depending on your outfit, the sequins, trims and shimmering material, you can opt for either diamond or pearl jewellery. Large dangling earrings look lovely with such dresses and then you won’t even need a neck piece. You could also pair them with a lovely matching diamond tennis bracelet made of lab diamonds. If you are a fan of necklaces, then diamond or pearl chokers would suit evening dresses perfectly well too.

Hats are a must

No formal British royal dinner in is complete without hats. In fact, the Brits in UK value their hats very much. You will see every person, both man and woman donning hats for formal events. There is a wide variety of hats. You could stick to a petite small pinned one or go all out with a large and floppy hat or a giant barrette that covers your head completely. The hat should match either the colour of the pattern of your dress. Many stores sell matching hats along with the dresses to make pairing it easier.

Tiara

A tiara isn’t a must-have element for a royal-themed party, but just in case someone ants to go all out. You could replace the hat with a delicate tiara. Mind you, delicate, we’re not trying to compete with the queen here, but just a little something to represent the royal theme of the dinner party. Most tiaras are diamond-based similar to diamond wedding ring london and you could have one to match your jewellery. A hairstyle that suits the tiara and the whole theme of the party would be a loose bun or short roller curls.

Accessories

Among other accessories are bags and scarves. A simple and plain clutch goes best with the outfit. Make sure to carry something that does not take away attention from your dress and jewellery. Pairing it to match the colour of your dress is a good idea.

Footwear

For footwear you can go for stilettos or pumps. Flats are not usually worn with evening gowns as they do not make a good combination. You can also wear pumps or wedges depending on your personal preference.

Final thoughts

Along with your attire, it also helps to learn some of British royal etiquettes for eating, sitting, talking, etc. After all, if the theme calls for it, you better be perfectly royal in every approach.
