Types of Masquerade Wedding Masks and How to Choose One

Masquerade wedding masks are an important part of your masquerade outfit as its elegance and style make your outfit look great. As they are available in various designs and colors, these tips should help you make the right choice.

You first need to know about the types of masquerade wedding masks available.

There are stick masquerade wedding masks attached to a stick on one side, and covering only the eyes or half the face. Though stylish and elegant, they are impractical as you have to hold them throughout the party though it’s easy taking them off to eat or drink.

The half face masks cover half your face from the forehead to nose and usually come with a ribbon that ties around the head to keep the mask in place. They are the most practical option as you needn’t worry about holding them in place or about eating or drinking.

Full-face masks cover the whole face from top of the forehead to chin with holes for the eyes and nose or mouth. Though they look great, they are impractical as they muffle and lower your speech. Moreover, you need to remove them every time you eat or drink.

Eye masks are the classic choice for masquerade parties. Like half face masks, they are practical and convenient to use.

Now you know the types of masks available, you need to know how to choose one.

–> Buy your mask based on the type of outfit you will be wearing so that it compliments and not clashes with it.

→ Next, decide what type of mask you want- the stick, half, eye or full-face masquerade mask. This has to be chosen based on your comfort and the amount of talking, drinking and eating you plan to do at the party!

→ Choose the right colored mask. There are masks with only one color, masks with a few colors like red and gold and patterned masks. Choose something complementing your outfit. Masks with neutral or muted shades like black, silver and gold complement most colored outfits. As patterned masks can clash with your outfit, they are best worn only if your outfit's plain or with a subtle pattern.
