Preparing for the Ball
After dinner, guests can unwind during a **cocktail hour** while the venue is prepared for the ball. Those attending solely for the ball are expected to arrive around **7:30 p.m.** The evening will kick off with the **Queen’s Presentation**, where a **diamond of the season** will be selected, adding an air of excitement to the night.
Elegant Attire Required
To fully embrace the experience, attendees are encouraged to don **Regency era attire**. “We definitely don’t want to outshine the Queen,” McGowan humorously noted, hoping guests will embody the style of characters like **Daphne** or **Eloise**.
