Here at our mask company, Success Creations, we use many types of feathers in all different shapes and sizes for many of our masks. In fact, most of our most popular styles are feather masks.

A good feather mask is truly stunning to see in person. Large, beautiful feathers gives the mask a luxurious, illustrious look that is very pleasing to the eye.

We have several types of real feathers that we use in creating our feather masks. There are ostrich feathers, which are large and full, and range in length anywhere from 8 inches to 24 inches long. Then there are coque feathers, thick and shiny and beautiful.

After that we have peacock feathers, which come in two types. There are peacock plumes which have the gorgeous purple and green ‘eye’ in them, which is very desirable for beautiful masks. Then, there are peacock spears, which are long and thin, and colored in black and brown stripes.

We also have feather masks that are made of many types of gorgeous feathers attached in a beautiful design to a base mask. The feathers in these types of masks cover the basic mask completely, and give the mask a stunning look of many feathers arranged in a special pattern.

All of the feathers that we carry come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors, and are quality-checked to ensure that we only give our customers the best feathers available.

Customizing Feather Masks

One of the advantages of being a small company with personalized service is that we can make changes to many of our feather masks on the fly to meet your individual needs. Although we are limited to the colors and types of feathers that we have available, we would be happy to make changes to certain masks, for instance putting burgundy feather in the place of a black feather, or replacing ostrich feathers with coque, etc.

A great feather mask can truly liven up any event, and make you stand out from the crowd at any masquerade ball or other party or function.

All masquerade masks are beautiful and elegant creations, but there is something about adding a stick onto a masquerade mask that makes it that much more elegant and luxurious looking. At our mask company, we have many great stick mask styles. We also can put virtually any of our masks on a stick for you, including those that do not normally come on a stick. Adding a stick to a mask often gives it a new and unique look, which is why it is desirable for many people to do so.

Although masks on sticks are traditionally more suited for women, men can also wear a mask on a stick. Many people enjoy wearing a stick mask rather than a regular mask because they are able to carry the mask around and wear it at their leisure, such as when they are taking picture. Also, stick masks are great to carry around simply as an accessory at a party, and they can really add a certain flair to your outfit.

Another feature of wearing a stick mask rather than a regular mask with a headband is that with a stick mask, you will be able to hold it in front of but not directly on your face, which will prevent the ladies from messing up their makeup, and will not disturb the hair.

At our mask company, we sell many different styles of masks on sticks. Many of the styles we sell are perfect for a masquerade ball, masquerade sweet 16, masquerade wedding, or other event. In fact, stick masks are by far the most popular choice for masquerade parties.

In our stick masks, we like to use the best materials, big feathers, and beautiful designs.

So, you have an event coming up, and you’ve decided that you want to make it a masquerade ball. Great choice! Masquerade balls are unique, engaging, fun events that separate you from all of the average, hum-drum dinner parties that people are used to attending.

After the decision is made to host a masquerade ball, now comes the hard part……choosing the right mask company to create the masks for your event.

ALL MASK COMPANIES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL

As you surf the Internet, looking for the perfect company to make your masquerade ball a success, you are likely to come across a few different mask companies. Several of them look very similar, and offer nice masks. Since you probably do not have a deep knowledge of masquerade masks, you may be tempted to choose one of the first companies that you find.

At first glance, it may seem that any company will do. But a deeper look into what makes a company right for your event raises questions about what qualifies many of these companies to have the privilege of your business.

SO, WHAT QUALIFIES A COMPANY AS A MASQUERADE BALL SPECIALIST?

Many companies make masks……but very few are of the high caliber that you are looking for when planning your event. Even fewer have the knowledge or expertise to truly make your masquerade ball a success.

So, what qualifies a mask company as a masquerade ball specialist?

There are several things that separate a run-of-the-mill mask company from a company that truly knows how to create a successful event. The right mask company should:

• Have experience and knowledge within the party planning industry, not simply be a mask manufacturer
• Understand the differences in quality, material, and design between a regular mask and a true masquerade mask
• Should not be a mass manufacturer of masks and party goods, but rather a smaller, more specialized mask company
• Be able to give you personalized service and assist you in choosing everything from a color scheme to a mask shape and design to match the theme of your event
• Offer customized masks and original designs upon request
• Have in-house designers and specialists that understand what a customer is looking for, not just employees who have never touched the product

When you look for a company to create masks for your event, these requirements should be at the forefront of your mind before you make your final decision.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MOST MASK COMPANIES

Now that you have taken the preceding requirements that I just laid out for you and thought about them, do the companies that you have been considering measure up?

While any company can make masks, this does not qualify them as masquerade ball specialists. In fact, the truth is that many companies do not have the specialized expertise or hands-on customer service that is required for them to be able to serve you in the way that you deserve.

Many of the companies that you will find on the Internet are mass-producers of unoriginal designs that they themselves have not created. Also, many of these larger companies do not have in-house designers with extensive knowledge of the masquerade style of masks. Even more worrisome is that as a larger, less specialized company, many are forced to sacrifice quality for quantity, using cheap materials and masks.

While I do not mean to undermine our competitors, I outline these facts to illustrate an important point: When choosing a mask company to create masks for your event, only a company that specializes in masquerade masks will do.

WHY SUCCESS CREATIONS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND MASQUERADE MASK COMPANY

Success Creations is a remarkable masquerade mask company in many respects. The most notable reason why we are unique is that we are a masquerade mask specialist. Since 1982, we have been creating unique, original designs that are unmatched by any other company. Just a few reasons why we are uniquely qualified as masquerade specialists are:

• We have in-house designers with years of hands-on experience with masquerade masks
• We import our masks (the base masks; we decorate in-house) from the best Italian manufacturer, from the birthplace of the masquerade style
• We only use the highest-quality materials
• We are customer service enthusiasts, able to assist you in choosing the right masks for your event
• We offer customized designs upon request
• We pride ourselves on being a small company based in the USA, able to offer the specialized care and quality that you deserve

MAKE YOUR EVENT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Choosing a mask company is an important decision……the quality of your event, as well as your reputation, are reliant upon how well-received your masks are. No matter what company you choose, please make sure that you check on the qualifications of the company, and make sure that they truly are a masquerade mask specialist. The success of your event depends on it!

Here at our masquerade mask company, Success Creations, we take great pride in the fact that we are the only masquerade mask company in the USA that creates our own unique designs and manufactures each piece by hand. This is extremely unique and rare, especially considering the fact that the vast majority of masks are mass produced in foreign countries.

Over time, we have developed a special process for creating our masquerade masks, which we have found to work very well for us, while delivering the maximum quality and value to each customer. In this post, I will go over the process that we use, and illustrate why a hand-made Success Creations masquerade mask is a must-have for anybody in need of a great masquerade mask.

THE PROCESS BEHIND EACH MASQUERADE MASK:

A lot of love and work goes into creating one of our masquerade masks.

First, we import the base mask from Italy. We use only the finest quality masks, made from a firm but flexible material which resembles thick fabric. Depending on the type of mask, they either have a shiny or glossy sheen, a glitter finish, or simply a fabric covering. All of the masks come with a soft, felt backing for ultimate comfort and wearability. Also, all masks not on sticks have either elegant ribbon ties or an adjustable band that will fit any head.

Next, we create completely unique and original designs for the masks, either with our in-house designers or a special design consultant that we work with. We try to come up with masks that are truly one-of-a-kind and extremely pleasing to the eye, as well as comfortable and practical to wear to an event or function.

Once the design for a new mask has been decided, we begin the process of creating the new masquerade mask, testing and trying different materials and determining what the best colors, feathers, jewels, etc. would make the new mask the best that it can be.

We have a great supplier of high quality, real feathers that we use in many of our masks. Some of the feathers that we use are ostrich, peacock, and coque, as well as several others. Using these real feathers gives our masks a very illustrious, genuine quality that cannot be found elsewhere. In addition, we only use the highest quality trims, fabrics, jewels, and other materials to create our masquerade masks.

After the final draft of the mask is complete, and we have determined the design and materials to be used, one of our in-house designers will create the mask by hand from scratch. They take the ‘base’ mask, and then go to work applying the different materials to the mask, whether it be paint, jewels, trims, feathers, or another material. Once the mask is complete, it is double-checked for quality and consistency, and it is made sure that each mask lives up to the highest standards.

The final product is then given to another associate who is trained in quality control and careful packing procedures. He will take the mask, check it once again to make sure that it is up to par, and then package the mask with extreme care. Because the masks are handmade with real feathers and other materials, we understand the need to carefully package each mask carefully and cautiously.

The final result of this process is a beautiful, handmade, unique creation that you will want to keep and cherish for years to come.

HOW THIS PROCESS BENEFITS YOU

There are several ways that our unique mask-making process benefits the customer:

• The first way that our process helps you is that by having a mask that is a totally unique design, you can be confident that when you show up at your event or party, you will be the only person wearing that particular mask.
• Secondly, our masks are handmade and extremely high quality. If you look at anything of high quality, from cars to watches, all the top brands are handmade. This is because a mass-produced product can never have the attention to detail and precision craftsmanship that a handmade product possesses. This is the main reason why our product is so unique.
• Finally, this process benefits the customer by ensuring them that only the best materials have gone into their mask, giving them the best value for their money.

We take great pride in our reputation as one of the highest-quality mask manufacturers in the world. Creating beautiful, hand-made masks is our business, and we would love to work with you to find the right mask to fit your occasion.
