Mystic Order of Revelry Ball
Stepping Out:
Members of the Capital City’s oldest men’s mystic society stepped out in white tie, tails and top hats to serve as hosts of the Mystic Order of Revelry’s 83rd Annual New Year’s Eve Ball.
Putting on the Ritz:
They joined their King at the Montgomery Country Club to commence the evening’s celebratory tableau with the presentation of the Krewe’s radiant queen, Blair Henderson Parks. Briefly masked for her big reveal moment, she delighted the guests wearing an ensemble designed by Mystick Couturier, featuring a cream and honey gold brocade satin gown embellished with topaz Swarovski and Aurora bead crystals, with a matching regal collar.

Royal Blue:
Her royal court included eleven of the season’s debutantes who wore long gowns of royal blue from Bridals by Penolia; and eight young masters of area families who served as adorable Pages.
Midnight Revelry:
As the clock struck twelve, colorful balloons were released from the ceiling, and guests’ noisemakers heralded 2011. The Tapesty band played “Auld Lang Syne” in the grand ballroom, and Frankie Velvet and the Mighty Veltones made for a rockin’ New Year on the club’s main level.
