Hazel's Royal Ball Baby Shower

Once upon a time in a far away land, lived a lovely queen. This queen was lovely because she was happy. She had married her prince charming in the Temple and he treated her with kindness everyday. This king and queen had been blessed with three darling little princes. The princes made their parents hearts sing with their energy, curiosity and sweetness. There was only one thing missing from this royal family. The king and queen and the three little princes very much wanted to have a little princess join their family. So you can imagine how happy they were when the queen told them she was expecting a baby girl.  The queen was over the moon with joy. She jumped on her horse and road from castle to castle telling all of her friends the joy she felt.

Soon after making the announcement the queen was home at the palace, resting her swollen feet when she suddenly heard the trumpet sound that announced a royal currier. The queen ran down to receive the message. As she opened the envelope her eyes were greeted by a gilded gold invitation with a large pink silk bow. Written in calligraphy was the invitation of the year. It was a royal ball to be held in honor of the arrival of the new princess. The queen was in a tizzy thinking of what to wear. Finally with the help of some of her helpful ladies in waiting she found the perfect outfit and counted down the day to the ball.

 

The night finally came and the queen rode a carriage over to the castle Hutchings. She was greeted by the butler and led into the main  room.

Everywhere the queen’s eye looked she saw beauty. The flowers were fit for the finest wedding.  Everywhere were beautiful arrangements of the perfect ballet pink peonies and garden roses.  There was a royal throne of the finest quality and a four tier pink cake sparkling with gold dust and sweet flowers.  There seemed to be finishing touches everywhere. Each lovely detail made the queen feel loved.  

Then suddenly the royal court of hosts came into the room. There she was surrounded Duchess Mary, Dame Angie, The Benevolent Ana, Countess Andy, Baroness Emily and Lady Kati. The coronation began and they all bowed to the queen as they placed the crown on her head. The ball was ready to begin.

One after another ladies from all other the land came to welcome the little princess. They were each formally announced with their name and title.  

Each Lady of the land brought a thoughtful gift for the little princess. Many of the thoughtful guests contributed to a lovely carriage (carseat) for the princess to ride in.  

The guest were greeted  by dashing young men in tuxedos, top hats and pink bow ties, floating through the crowd while carrying gold trays of the most delicious food anyone had ever tasted. 

 Champagne flutes filled with sparkling cider and pink pomegranate jewels were placed in every hand. Advice dance cards were tied on every wrist. And the senses where tickled by the taste of the incredible cake and the sound of the traveling minstrel’s solo performance.

The queen was given an original work of art from one her talented ladies, it was of great artistic beauty and adored by the queen. 

The queen was overjoyed, she felt so ready for the arrival of her sweet baby and so loved by such incredible women. As the ladies kissed the queens cheek goodbye they gave their good wishes and ended the night. It was a night and a ball to remember.
