Weddings in the style of Moulin Rouge: chic, glitter and bohemian beauty of Paris. Party in the style of the Moulin Rouge. Entertainment and refreshments Moulin Rouge dancing

The stone French pavement, the night, the wings of the scandalous mill lit with red lights in the bohemian sky of France ... The decline in the morals of society, and an unshakable faith in the sincere feeling of individuals. Now silence reigns in this area, but very soon the Moulin Rouge will open its gates, decorated with a scarlet bulldenezh to the first dressed up guests. And you are the lucky winner of an invitation card for this evening? And are you sure you want to be there? And, of course, you will be as magnificently dressed as the royal ministers, or - the Maharaja? Or, on the contrary, will you be among the cabaret dancers, in a magnificent hat with feathers?

Fortunately, the Moulin Rouge is rich in images, and there are plenty to choose from for a party!

MOULIN ROUGE PARTY COSTUMES

First, a few words about colors. Extravagant outfits in red, green, gold and silver tones will harmonize well with the entire environment of the impromptu hall of the Red Mill.

Yes mom, to comply with the established dress code, it is best to give preference to long evening dresses with a train and a deep neckline. It is important to pay due attention to accessories, adding a red or black boa, garter, sequined ribbon or satin gloves to the outfit. Be sure to wear your most expensive necklaces, bracelets and rings with the dress. Flashy wealth is a natural pass for a woman at the Moulin Rouge.

Men should come to the holiday in a formal suit or tailcoat with a tie (bow tie) and black leather shoes. You can also (to better match that era) wear a high black top hat on your head. If you plan to be not only a passive spectator at the holiday, but also actively participate in the entertainment program, you can put on a bright showman costume.

This is the minimum by which you will be able to achieve compliance with your appearance specified in the invitation to the dress code requirement. If you want to show off your imagination, chic figure, and also - demonstrate your love for the film - we can offer some more very interesting options for participating in an impromptu cabaret.

I am the courtesan of the Moulin Rouge

Do you want to feel the longed-for looks of men and the lightning bolts that are thrown at you in the wake of their wife? Do you want to know what it's like to be a whore? Blood plays, requires adrenaline ... Then it is your image - the courtesan Moulin Rouge!

Characteristic for the "courtesan" details of the costume:

Hard corset - the upper part of the outfit;

A silk fluffy skirt with many ruffles, lace ribbons and frills is the lower part of the dress.

I am a Moulin Rouge cabaret dancer

Cancan. Are you crazy in love with this amazing, energetic dance? And besides everything else, do you know how to perform it professionally? Then for you - image of the Moulin Rouge dancer! The main purpose of such an outfit since ancient times is to tease and excite. Because - he simultaneously hides the feminine forms of the dancer, and opens them for show. This costume does not include such a rigid corset as the outfit of a sexy courtesan, but at the same time it is made in an identical red and black color scheme and is not without a lot of feminine lace, ribbons and frills. Depending on the merits and demerits of her figure, as well as on the presence of all kinds of complexes, or their absence, each girl can choose for herself a dance stage dress both more frank and more modest.

Dance costume details you need to pay attention to:

Lace neckband with "cat's eye" in a seductive dimple;

A miniature flirty hat with feathers and a veil, stockings with garters and long silk gloves (red or black).

I am an actress of the Moulin Rouge cabaret theater

This costume is a successful combination of courtesan and dancer costume details. The costume of the actress suggests the presence of a tight corset with puffs and a very short, naughty tulle skirt. Another option (a more modern version of the carnival costume, stylized as French burlesque of the late 19th century) is a black and red top and lace short shorts. By choosing an actress costume, you get a unique chance to show off the beauty of your slender legs without thinking about "what people will say." You can absolutely with impunity be colorful, sexy, and at the same time - enjoy the absence of ambiguous views ...

If you think the image you have chosen is not quite complete, not glamorous enough, you can add a few extravagant accessories to it.

Accessories for the image of the Moulin Rouge

For example, put on a bright wig, decorate your hair with ostrich feathers or swan down, or put on a fancy handmade top hat.

Among other things, antique jewelry and lace “work” perfectly with dresses for the Moulin Rouge, as well as a mask with feathers. Most often, women from high Parisian society, appearing in such a haunted place, resorted to “disguise”. It was impossible for aristocratic ladies to come to the Moulin Rouge, but at the same time, it was the easiest way to weave networks of state intrigues here ...

Makeup and hair

And a few more words about makeup and hair. If you are a happy owner of long hair or medium length hair - give it a little volume and decorate your hair with large curls.

Make-up should also be bright, evening, fantasy. Drawings on the face and the use of long false eyelashes, applications, etc. are allowed.

Well, the costume is ready, the guest of honor cannot wait for the appointed hour and visit the mysterious Moulin Rouge. But, somehow it is not customary to go to a party of this magnitude without a gift. What to present to the hero of the occasion such that it matches the theme and has a hidden meaning, in harmony with the Moulin Rouge? Now I'll tell you!

Will be appropriate (if the hero of the occasion is a woman) Jewelry (or - expensive jewelry made of natural stones). Black necklaces, beads, earrings, brooches with an emphasis on the fashion of that era will be a great gift for such a holiday!

Will look extravagant handmade gifts , stylized as French burlesque of the late 19th century - pillows with a black-and-white photograph of the hostess of the celebration, made in batik technique, fashionable hats with rhinestones, feathers and sparkles, stage masks and elaborate garters.

However, such gifts are appropriate if you already know the person you are going to the party very well and for a long time. If, however, a work colleague (especially the boss) invited you to your place in the Moulin Rouge, or just an acquaintance, gifts of an intimate nature should not be presented. It's better to give bottle expensive French wine (in an unusual "clothing" - a corset), old book with the story of the French "Red Mill", or disk with a good copy of the famous movie.

And you can also (if there is a real cabaret in your city, or tours of the famous French theater are supposed) to give ticket for This show .

Do not forget also about the packaging for your original gift. After all, it is when you look at the packaging that the person gifted by you forms the first impression of the gift itself! Don't ignore this fact! Choose from red, black and gold, or old-France inspired wrapping paper.

Now everything seems to be ready! Time to start the show! However, there is one more important point that we need to discuss with you ... Even - as many as two! About building an entertainment program for your imposing guests and treats for them - read in the next article!

December 16, 2015

If you want to make the holiday truly stylish and extravagant, there is one win-win option - Burlesque Party.

Genre: musical, vaudeville, Moulin Rouge - today it is called differently. The style of the mentioned burlesque is said to be not sublime-low, but "low-sublime", where monologues, dialogues, songs and dances are erotic overtones. In order not to get confused and not to form a picture of vulgarity and vulgarity in my head, let's go in order ...

20-30s - the era of burlesque. Bright show performances broke into the life of the USA and Paris, the conversation about which caused a blush among noble ladies and an embarrassed smile from gentlemen. Rumors about frank dances, daring songs and a sea of ​​entertainment in an atmosphere of sophistication and wealth did not just arouse irrepressible curiosity, but literally brought hundreds of connoisseurs of creative recreation burning with anticipation by the hand. At that time, the so-called criteria of revelation and propriety were scrupulously monitored. "Queens of Burlesque" Josephine Baker and Mae West literally overgrown with gossip "beyond recognition", and the latter spent ten days in prison for the so-called obscene behavior in society.

By the way, in the modern world, there is also a “burlesque queen”: the ex-wife of the scandalous performer Marilyn Manson, Heather Rene Sweet. Many modern professional participants in this art are literally offended by the current stereotypes imposed by the owners of establishments with a dubious reputation. Calling themselves "burlesques" left and right, they offer the viewer a primitive program, mostly consisting of cheap striptease. It's good that there are sources from where you can get reliable information. And great movies, after all!

Already in the 40s, burlesque shows really spread from theaters to nightclubs, where they sometimes sounded like “cabaret shows”. Now the owner of the establishment decided where to “locate” the limits of decency and whether they are needed at all! A distinctive feature of the cabaret at that time was the creation of high standards of skill for actors, dancers and all participants in the entertainment program. Improvisations, deviations from the worked out scenario were not allowed. Therefore, undertaking the organization of such a show, determine for yourself what years your Burlesque will look like!

When starting to organize a holiday, your task is to do everything sensibly, otherwise the glamor and magical theatrical atmosphere will turn into a poor parody of a cheap strip club. It is important to understand that for this you need to invest a lot of effort and money, so you won’t be able to save much on such a birthday.

In any case, the essential attributes and elements of the holiday are: wealth, luxury, glamour, chic, beauty, passion, lack of complexes, shamelessness, extravagance.

Graceful hints, subtle humor, puns, flirting - all this in the style of Burlesque!

1. When is Burlesque appropriate?

Such a party will help to effectively celebrate both a birthday, bachelor / bachelorette party, as well as New Year or even Halloween.

2. Time.

Invite guests to 20-21.00: this is an "all night" party, not for five hours. Moreover, the preparation of the appropriate image will take not so little time - one make-up is worth something!

3. Invitations.

If you try very hard, then the guests will feel the atmosphere of the upcoming party even before the action begins. Try to compose an incendiary invitation! Surely this will help friends create the right image and prepare an unusual speech in the style of creative intellectuals of the 30s. For example:

« Dear Ostrovskaya Diana!
Legendary show productions from the theatrical and entertainment cabaret "Burlesque" are at your service! The mysterious owner of the best ballet show in the world is fascinated by your beauty and invites you to the most outrageous opening of your city! Welcome to the world of passion and luxury!
We are waiting for you on December 30, 2015 at 21.00.
Luxurious appearance, disposition to the initiatives shown and this invitation are indispensable conditions for entering the celebration.
We look forward to seeing you.
With uv. Gatsby»

To create invitation cards with your own hands, you will need white, black, red cardboard, gold and red ribbons, feathers and pieces of lace. And there - combine and create unique original postcards! They don't have to be identical. There are no rules, they are named, and that's all that matters.
You can order similar flyers in the printing house.

4. Images and costumes.

Common to all and important. Images should be bright, stylish, attractive, sexy (but not vulgar).

Behavior: not screaming love for yourself and every element of the world around you, balancing eccentricity, emotionality and elegance, restraint.

Aestheticism: the ability to behave, correct speech, intonation, beautiful gestures, posture, gait ...

Now more specifically.

Men. It's easier with men. There are only two options here: gentleman(then businessmen, politicians, intellectuals and all sorts of creative personalities had a similar appearance) and bandit. For the first, tuxedos, ties, bow ties, vests, a top hat, a cane are suitable.

For the second - black trousers, white T-shirts, suspenders, hats a la mafia, if possible - a holster with a weapon, of course, not real.
For those and others, such a simple attribute as a cigar is perfect.

Women. Given the fact that women were in such institutions for completely different reasons, you have a choice of the desired "role". Let's get to know each other better:

Spoiled daddy's daughter from a rich family. She, of course, secretly visits such establishments. She is dressed relatively restrained, although youth and hormones dictate a short dress and a long lady's cigarette. Nothing complicated: black, or gold in sequins, a short pencil dress, long beads with medium-sized pearls, a bracelet, stiletto sandals. If possible, a black bob or playful curls and a characteristic feather in the hair. The makeup is not overly bright (she ran away from home), her eyes can be hidden under a beautiful mask with feathers (she is afraid that someone will recognize her).

By the way, a black square and a fly over the lip will be appropriate for any look. And also curls, a veil, gloves above the elbow will fit perfectly!

courtesan girl. Be careful with this image. It suggests more obvious looseness, flirtatiousness, flirting. If overly jealous people are present at the celebration, hold your horses, do not miss this most important nuance! The costume is open and frank: a corset that draws in everything that is possible to a practically lifeless body, fishnet stockings, large bracelets, hairpins, bright makeup with mother-of-pearl, sparkles. In this image, appearance is 50%. The rest is high-quality acting and femininity!

dancer girl. A fairly revealing outfit will do: people do not come to see sculptures in a museum. But a little more modest than the previous image. Corset, flared skirt to the knee, stockings with suspenders, shoes with steady heels.

Girls, you should be graceful teasing but not provoking, flirting but not intrusive, sexy but not vulgar. Remember that burlesque actresses are not male-hating strippers, on the contrary, they are the absolute femininity! A man is an object for which the best sides of the female essence are revealed, one's own beauty is demonstrated and the significance of the male contribution to the prosperity of this very beauty is emphasized.

Before preparing the images, invite friends to watch one or more films on the topic: Burlesque, Burlesque Lady, Blaze, Mademoiselle Striptease, Chicago Blues, The Great Gatsby ...

It's good if everyone carries the charm of the then conversations and behavior through the whole evening. Indeed, in burlesque, manners are important, a style of behavior that differs significantly from modern ones. And we want to create a real Burlesque?!

5. Greeting guests.

Warn those invited that entry is by invitation only and for a nominal fee (nervous picking at all pockets will spoil the actors' improvisation). The greeter can be like an elegant butler, who hides the “revelation” behind the door of a cabaret with her imposing appearance, or a courtesan in fishnet stockings, who now and then looks around the street to see if there are policemen there. Asks if there is an invitation. Look suspicious, absolute seriousness. Asks for a donation. Hides in a corset (bra), if it is a man - in a folder. He opens the door, where everything is already open (music, light, smoke), and without a shadow of a smile asks: “Do you like what you see?”. After a positive answer, the “butler” changes his face to the widest smile and beckons with delight: “Then welcome to the world of entertainment and passion!”

6. Venue.

You can arrange a similar “party” at home, especially if you have a studio apartment, but the ideal venue would be a private nightclub hall. Be sure to have at least a small scene. This is important, without it it will not be possible to create a suitable atmosphere. How about the bright performances, incendiary cancan and sharp jokes from the artists?

7. Decoration of the festive hall.

Pay close attention to this part of the organization. A person who probably does not feel very comfortable in a revealing outfit before the party starts, should feel at ease as soon as he crosses the threshold of the festive hall!

Colors, which should be preferred: black, red, white. Also, gold and stripes will fit perfectly.

Decor elements: silk, leather, velvet, boa, lace. All this can become both elements of costumes and part of the interior, a characteristic decoration of the room.

The stage, ideally, should be in red colors. Luckily, many clubs are fans of the classics, because this attribute is not so hard to find. If you can, make the infamous windmill (as in Moulin Rouge). It can be made from foam or cardboard, brightly colored and covered with foil, covered with silk ribbon wire or chipboard (a more expensive option that requires skillful hands). You can make a windmill by laying out the silhouette with garlands on a dark background!

Cover most of the ceiling with black fabric, put yellow or white garlands on top of it, you get the effect of a starry sky. The fact is that the main lighting will be concentrated on the stage, and the viewer is in twilight. Therefore, additional, even the described lighting will be more relevant and effective than ever.

You can decorate your "starry sky" with photos of guests.
Puffs of smoke: stage and cigarette - everything is in place at a Burlesque party!
At the entrance it will be very handy to place an old mirror. This is possible. Although building foam and golden paint work wonders: here is an old frame for the most ordinary mirror! Nearby, not far from the entrance (there will be twilight), place several pinup posters (standards of female beauty of that time) and posters of famous actresses from films about burlesque shows.

It is desirable that there is not one large festive table, but several, for 2-4 people (according to the classics). On the tables - black and red tablecloths, the fabric can be inexpensive, in the dark it will not be evident at all! For each table - narrow vases, in which one red or white rose (can be artificial), and preferably several ostrich, peacock feathers. If the vases do not have a presentable appearance, decorate them with lace.
Burlesque involves luxury and chic, so plastic cups and homemade vases are absolutely not suitable.

Checkout photo corner. Stretch the fabric to match the entire party, organize a mini-curtain. Put the characteristic attributes: canes, boas, fans, masks, cigars ... In the background - a windmill, a heart, a cylinder of lights. Get great bright photos!

8. Music.

Hits from the previously mentioned films, as well as related music tracks by Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Madonna, Bianchi, "Pussycat Dolls".

9. Dancing.

Organically fit: passionate Latina, Argentinean tango, Balkan tribal.

10. Menu.

Main dishes. You won't be able to save much. In really good cabarets, you could enjoy various delicacies, so sliced ​​\u200b\u200band sprat sandwiches were not an option. You can choose a variation of classic French cuisine (with cheese soup and meat in French), or you can not follow the strict classics. It is enough to choose "noble" products and think over win-win successful dishes: red fish steaks, stuffed mushrooms, baked poultry with fruits and honey, stewed veal with pineapple, red caviar on a dried French baguette ... Any seafood will be appropriate, especially exotic, but be careful with quality and freshness.

Desserts. Ideal chocolate mousse, sundae with syrups of your choice and pancakes stuffed with whipped cream and fruit. Order “themed cookies”, they can become the highlight of the festive table!
It is unlikely that you organize a beauty jumping out of a cake, but you must organize the cake itself! If you are already giving all the best, then order a really impressive burlesque cake.

The drinks. Definitely champagne. Don't be stingy with good quality champagne, otherwise guests will have to grimace all evening from excess acidity or cloying. Also, martinis and various liquors are suitable for women.

Absinthe was considered the obligatory alcohol at such parties. But this is quite an expensive pleasure. In order not to lose an important element of recreating the desired picture, take the trouble to prepare mint vodka.

Here is the simplest recipe:

Take a bunch of mint (40-50 grams), select beautiful fresh juicy leaves. Rinse them. Fill a glass jar tightly with mint (tamping it down with your hand), pour good quality vodka into it (otherwise “the spell will not work”), shake well and put in a dark place for 3-4 weeks, and in the classic version - for two months! As you can see, it is better to prepare in advance!

There is also a faster option:

For one liter of vodka, take 7-10 sprigs of mint and juice from one lemon / lime. Put the saucepan with the contents in the refrigerator for 3 days, covering it with a lid. When the vodka is infused, soaked with the aroma of mint and citrus, add one tablespoon of sugar and leave for another day in the refrigerator. Refreshing strong drink is ready!

For light drinkers, provide a green soft drink, Tarragon, for example.

The notorious Baileys, by the way, can also be cooked at home, but be sure not later than a day before the event!

11. Entertainment program.

To provide essential guarantees of a successful evening, book two or three professional themed numbers.
Invited guests can also prepare rooms if they wish. A song (even with a soundtrack), a dance, or a standup performance. The latter is highly desirable. High-quality acting humor from the stage is what you need! Let's not forget about good magicians.

Contests.

"Corset". There are two couples. Girls are put on corsets in advance on some kind of underwear or a T-shirt. Men are offered to untie the corset in the shortest possible time. Who is the first - he won.

"Kiss in the Dark" Three or four couples. They are blindfolded and asked to find their man in the dark and kiss them. Speed ​​is important, you can’t “probe” it. Caught in the hands - you kiss. As soon as 3 pairs have been formed (those who did not have time can wander for a long time, bumping into the winners) - we open our eyes, evaluate. Surely there is a "same-sex couple." Favorites are those who found the original partner, if there are none, whoever found someone first.

"Cancan for men". Everything is clear here. The winner is the one who raised his leg higher and more accurately hit the beat.

"Guess what". The woman points to an element of her costume, the two men must say what it is as quickly as possible. Try to provide elements such as boa, bolero, arctic fox, clip-on earrings to make these words difficult. Who last, he drinks absinthe. The winner is kissed, the loser is so good (he's pretty fucked up, so to speak).

The judge - a girl with red lipstick - leaves a kiss mark on the winner's cheek. The maximum number of prints of her lips determines the overall winner.

As a super prize, there can be a pack of cigars, a bottle of absinthe for men, an element of good cosmetics (a set of shadows, a makeup brush, French toilet water), bottles of French wine for women.

12. Gifts.

Gifts shouldn't be cheap and useful (it's not a hippie party), they should be expensive and showy. If it's a birthday, give a gift from the whole team, this will add realism to the implementation of this recommendation.

A man can be presented with cufflinks, good alcohol, cigars (according to individual preferences), a solid leather belt or a business briefcase.

For a woman - expensive jewelry or gold. Also suitable glamorous clutch, shawl, cosmetics.

Important!

Take a lot of photos, or better yet, hire a professional photographer. After all, for sure you will be at such a party for the first and last time!

Remember the world where you are Monica, Jessica, Marilyn, and not Katya, Lilya and Tonya. And photographs store not only a picture, but also feelings, smells, sounds, emotions ...

The most outrageous party to you!

A bachelorette party is the last holiday in a girl's unmarried life. Therefore, it must be done properly! And it’s not at all about how to break away to the fullest and wake up the next morning with a sore head. It is important to make this day bright and beautiful. In this regard, the ideal solution would be Moulin Rouge bachelorette party. Let's see the photo session!

A bride named Brooke, whose bachelorette party is captured in these photos, decided to gather guests at a restaurant. However, a nightclub would do. The palette of the evening is red and black. Feathers, rhinestones, lace - all this is present in abundance in the decor of the hall.


A Moulin Rouge-style bachelorette party menu is hard to imagine without champagne (a French bohemia drink!), pâté and roasted chestnuts and, of course, cake - where would you be without it! The cake is decorated in the same color scheme and topped with a chic black feather.

Enchanting fun always reigns in the Moulin Rouge cabaret, so there is no place for boredom at a bachelorette party in this style. You can, for example, dance the cancan with the whole friendly company, or you can dance a striptease! By the way, it was in the Moulin Rouge in Paris that the striptease was first performed on stage in history, and it happened in 1893.

Among other things, Brooke and her friends staged a fashion show at the bachelorette party - a demonstration of their outfits, specially prepared for the holiday. And show what!

Let's take a closer look at the outfits: dresses with frills, corsets, stockings with garters, heels, rhinestones, feathers, lace, boas... The main color is black, the details are red. This is how a real “mademoiselle” should look like at a Moulin Rouge bachelorette party!

The Moulin Rouge is the most popular show of the French cabaret ballet, based on which famous plays and paintings were staged. Even today it amazes everyone, especially the groovy dances of beautiful girls, bright and revealing outfits, chic and brilliance. In any photo, the Moulin Rouge style always looks chic. Well, which of us would not want to transform into one of these incendiary girls, and enjoy the entertainment of the past years? What needs to be done for this?

Hair and makeup

Let's start creating your image with a hairstyle in the style of Moulin Rouge. Everything will depend on the length of your hair, but one of the simplest ways that will suit everyone is to simply make curls, while for greater shine and brightness, you can treat your hair with varnish with paint of different colors. Then the curls will look more festive. If you are a happy owner of long hair, then wind it with curlers or tongs. Braids braided along the head are also welcome. Do not forget to decorate your hair with accessories in the Moulin Rouge style - rhinestones, feathers or a small veil, as well as hats of different colors. The abundance of accessories in this case is welcome.

What is the real makeup in the style of Moulin Rouge? The main thing to remember is three basic rules - bright eyes, bright lips and perfect skin. As we can see, this combination violates all the rules of classic makeup, where it is said that a bright emphasis is placed either on the eyes or on the lips. Let's start with a perfect and even skin tone, which can be achieved with a foundation with a matte effect. It will easily hide all the imperfections and irregularities of the skin. And do not forget to cover your face with a small layer of shimmering powder, because there is nowhere without shine. Blush is not required. Pay more attention to the eyes - eyelashes should be long and thick. This effect can be achieved with "Smoky eyes" makeup, combine any colors. Classics, of course, are white and black, but instead of black, you can choose another one that suits you. But to emphasize the eyes with black arrows is still worth it. Eyelashes should be well, very large, you can use overhead whole or their bundles. The lips are bright and sensual, the contour is brightly emphasized, and the lipstick or gloss is a rich color. Such an image in the style of Moulin Rouge is always desirable and, undoubtedly, feminine.

And now get dressed

Moulin Rouge costumes are something that belongs to the 19th century, and a little more looseness and nakedness. What kind of clothes in the style of Moulin Rouge will suit you? Yes, almost any, the main thing to remember is that you are beautiful and charming. The Moulin Rouge style dress is usually short and provocative, it can be fitted and trimmed with rhinestones and sequins. It is worth paying attention to skirts in the style of Moulin Rouge - they are puffy, with frills and look like skirts for the Cannes-Can dance, while the legs are bare and not constrained in movements. Moulin Rouge-inspired outfits are complemented by corsets to create a thin, feminine silhouette - the chest rises and the waist becomes thinner. Do not forget about feathers, boas, sequins, rhinestones, hats with feathers, fans, most importantly - do not skimp on the number of accessories. Cavaliers may be dressed in tuxedos, bow ties and top hats. Such images will allow you to return to the past and feel like a representative of the highest French society, to which everything is allowed, without restrictions. The Moulin Rouge style is a bright and cheerful show filled with the taste of life and vivid sensations. Any girl will feel like a real and most desired goddess, reincarnated in the image of those times.
