Thank you to ALL of the out-of-state ladies who are coming!! You are phenomenal!

All attire must adhere to the noble colours of our glorious order: ladies aged fifty and above shall don red hats and purple clothing, while those forty-nine years and younger shall appear in pink hats and lavender clothing. Yes, young ladies aged ten and above are cordially invited. While Regency-era fashions are most heartily encouraged to heighten the splendor of the occasion, they are by no means required. Come in your finest, but in proper colours, dear hearts. 👑 We gently entreat our guests to refrain from appearing in the likeness of Queen Charlotte, be it in youth or her more…resplendent years. 👑

Pray, please peruse our Pinterest Board link below for inspiration. 

A Royal Distinction of Elegance - A Double Sparkle!

In a delightful departure from days of yore, this Season shall bestow its highest honour upon two ladies of exceptional grace. One shall be named Diamond of the Season from amongst our esteemed Red Hatters; the other, from the fair ranks of our lovely Pink Hatters. Each shall be chosen for her poise, vivacity, and the shining spirit she brings to our cherished sisterhood. The announcement shall no doubt send a flutter through the Ton, as all await the crowning of these most luminous jewels.

Charming photography stations shall be arranged both indoors and out, providing ample opportunity for our ladies to capture memories most delightful. Guests who are inclined to share their revelry on TikTok or other social assemblies are warmly welcomed to film for their pages. However, we do beg your kind indulgence: there shall be a brief moment during which all camera devices—be they of the pocket or professional sort—must be tucked away. We trust our guests shall honour this request with the utmost decorum.

I live in Hattiesburg,  MS and have been taking photos for around 60 years. I am by no means a professional, as a matter of fact I would call myself an amateur with 50 plus years experience. I have 2 children, 9 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren and one on the way. 

I look forward to seeing some friends from my previous RHS days and meeting some new friends.
