Proper Dress for Ascot

Only formal day dress with a hat or substantial fascinator will be acceptable. Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and color. Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat. A gentleman may remove his top hat within a restaurant, a private box, a private club or that facility’s terrace, balcony or garden.

 

 
Some Interesting facts about Royal Wedding Protocol
 From BBC UK

Royal wedding: A guide to etiquette

Royal weddings are full of protocol but what are guests expected to wear for Prince William and Kate Middleton's big day?

The invitation states guest should wear "uniform, morning coat or lounge suit". But what does that mean?

  • image of uniform

    Uniform

    Only active members of the armed forces are allowed to wear military uniform and need permission from a commanding officer to do so.

    According to etiquette experts Debretts: "Each regiment has its own traditions and protocol for weddings. For instance, in some... it is not customary to wear uniform at all, and swords may or may not be worn."

    If speculation is correct and Prince William wears his RAF uniform, then his brother, as best man and an officer with the Household Cavalry, would be expected to wear his military attire too.

  • image of morning coat

    Morning Coat

    Men are expected to wear a grey or black morning coat, with a grey or yellow waistcoat and striped grey trousers. Add to this a grey top hat, to be worn when outside, or carried under the arm when indoors. Top hats should be removed for official photographs. Gloves matching the waistcoat should be carried.

    Debretts Guide to Wedding Etiquette advises against a backless waistcoat as this prevents the wearer from removing his coat. Ties should be worn, or a cravat with a pin, along with a plain shirt and cufflinks. Shoes should be black and lace-up.

    For ladies this dress code means smart day dress - a suit, or a dress with a jacket, with hat and gloves, high heels and a matching handbag.

  • image of lounge suit

    Lounge Suit

    For men, this means a plain business suit, worn with a discreet collar and tie.

    Ladies should wear a smart day dress. Hats are not compulsory - in fact at the wedding of Prince Edward to Sophie Rhys-Jones the wearing of hats was discouraged.

    And this word of warning from Debretts: "It is notoriously difficult to socially kiss while wearing a wide-brimmed hat. There is a knack to tilting the head at a suitable angle, but two ladies both in wide-brimmed hats should avoid such an 'intimate' greeting."

********************************
January 2011 UPDATE  and reminders
 
 
Its being reported that fashion is everywhere...
So i am addressing the fashion statement in the pulpit
Although jeans are still a fashion necessity i must remind all of us they are not always acceptable and they tend to be a bit pricey
 
Yet its time to calculate some fashion statements  acceptable for the pulpit
 
Ladies and gentlemen fresh nails are a must and they reflect clean hands. Using non fragrant hand cream great
Keep some nearby plus antibacterial lotions are great!  
 
Now about those nails Ladies ...   Watch out for to bright a color like bright red and black they have historical significance
Black for the dark side and red for the  well a...hum side. Never give the wrongs impression about your dressing
You are not supposed  the center of attraction God is but unfortunately this is not the perception of most people They look at you first then God...
By putting a clean precise foot forward  you can archive  the best.
 
Just a reminder dresses should be knee length lower or just above .
 
If you are on a high platform ..below knee is best.
 
Color is always great  seems like the Africa them is popular but tiger dresses may be a bit to much so use accessories such a short scarves  head bands purses luggage etc..
Butr look at these colors all go great with khaki and neutral tones !
 

WHAT INSPIRED THE PALETTE & THE COLLECTIONS:

Pantone fashion colors colours for spring 2011 BRIGHT & BOLD Flirtatious pinkish-red Honeysuckle is the feel-good hue that most brings a festive sense of playfulness to the season’s palette. Whether on a flirty frock or as a lively lip color, it's the perfect post-winter pick-me-up. Spicy, gregarious and persuasive all describe Coral Rose, a sophisticated orange that, much like Beeswax, a warm, honeyed yellow, conjures up feelings of faraway lands and
locales.

COOL & COLLECTED Alluring Blue Curacao evokes thoughts of tropical destinations and pays homage to the 2010 Color of the Year, Turquoise. Peapod, a fresh yellow-green, brings an organic element to the palette and is reminiscent of the green shoots that signify change and new beginnings traditionally found in spring. And the subtle hints of red undertones lend Lavender a romantic, fanciful feel.

NEW NEUTRALS Ethereal Silver Peony, dramatically-deep Russet, and dependable Silver Cloud all provide a stable backdrop for the rest of the palette and coordinate with everything already hanging in your closet.

HOW TO WORK IT: If you need a vacation, at the very least you can dress the part in the enticing Caribbean shade of Blue Curacao paired with a warm complement like with Honeysuckle or Coral Rose. Alternatively, Coral Rose and Beeswax both look unique and chic against color-wheel opposites Regatta blue and purple'y Lavender. 

 

See how it all works   But remember if you have  a lot of jewelry and long scarves you may become victim to someone in the alters trying to grab you  soooo don't do that .

Wear things close  to the body and have a great time

 Men you too can look fashionable  ties go great with kayakis and perhaps a colored watch band works great too. 

Please avoid colored socks black is best or the color of your shoe either match your trouser or your shoe .

The best fashion statement for me is clean fresh an bright whit teeth ( ladies too) and ironed shirts and creases in pants or  trousers

Its after all going to be a great spring and summer enjoy but remember you are a representation of God remember you are a representation of God .

 

 Wikeipedia

Politeness is best expressed as the practical application of good manners or etiquette It is a culturally defined phenomenon, and what is considered polite in one culturecan often be quite rude or simply strange in another.

While the goal of politeness is to make all of the parties relaxed and comfortable with one another, these culturally defined standards at times may be manipulated to inflict shameon a designated party.

The British social anthropologists Penelope Brown and Stephen Levinsonidentified two kinds of politeness, deriving from Erving Goffman's concept of face:

  • Negative politeness: Making a request less infringing, such as "If you don't mind..." or "If it isn't too much trouble..."; respects a person's right to act freely. In other words, deference. There is a greater use of indirect spe ch acts.
  • Positive politeness: Seeks to establish a positive relationship between parties; respects a person's need to be liked and understood. Direct speech acts, swearingand flouting Grice's maximscan be considered aspects of positive politeness because:
    • they show an awareness that the relationship is strong enough to cope with what would normally be considered impolite (in the popular understanding of the term);
    • they articulate an awareness of the other person's values, which fulfils the person's desire to be accepted.

Some cultures seem to prefer one of these kinds of politeness over the other. In this way politeness is culturally-bound. 


How about learning Royal Protocol ?

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Giving a Key to the Host Pastor Melinda  Bauman
.... a Gift from the Heart..

 

Are you asked to speak somewhere HONOR is the First step to good relationaships

As we observe the protocol standards let us imagine the place we are supposed to be ministering at.

Our first Protocol challenge is to Honor the Person at the Helm. All ministers should be required to make the Host or Pastor look good and feel good about having you in to minister from their own pulpit .

In Essence we need to always Honor the King and Honor the Parent of the house:

When you honor the parent you live much longer or to say in plain terms you might get asked back

IF you don’t show honor you may be the best minister in the world ...BUT you will not be asked back!
Trust me some wont be back!

Ephesians 6

Children and Parents or guest speakers and hosts

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2"Honor your father and mother"—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3"that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

A side note here:

Even if you carry an Apostolic mantel “ don’t use it unless you are required to .

Apostolic Mantels are for the teaching of the body yes… BUT if you’re in a region where the Host is Apostolic and functioning in that role Don’t over ride that host it will not go well for you.

As a Guest Minister you need to define what role you are to be in .

Ask what it is that is required from you.

Ask if there is a theme  or Topic  Does the Conference have a title.. if so ,be working within that title the title says what the confernce is about.
Make every effort to oblige it!  Remember the Host brought you in because you appeared to fit the role of the confernece .
.Do try to stay on track it is often to irresistible to go on bunny trails and do your own thing .JUST DON’T!

Remember you are always a guest NOT the host.

Do Not be afraid to say to the host even when you are ministering … "May I have your permission to do such and such". Never take your position for granted .There is always someone to take you place next time .

By the way don’t be like anyone else be yourself a good word here is YOU are your own best raw material!

 
All Leaders Need to seek guidence
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Minister you Must BUT
Become all things to all People
  that you might win them... Paul ..Bible :)

Remember you are ministering to many different people different back grounds cultures and positions .

Try to be a well studied person learn the ground you walk on search it out

Deuteronomy 1:22
Then all of you came to me and said, "Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to."

Know the lay of the land so to speak. Study! I can always tell if  a guest  has done their work they talk about the region and what GOD is doing in it.

You can ask others who have ministered where you are asked to minister as long as you are not in a negative mode, Get imput it is good .Never feel like you only Need GOD on a topic GOD will sometims use somethings  to get your attention  stay sensitive to that.

Often I have people ask about a ministries and ministers  in the region.
 I find it my pleasure to always edify a ministry  or minister EVEN if I do not always agree . OR if they do not edify me I build a character of Grace that way. GRACE is Suficiant:)
 
Edification is so much easier than criticism
 
 NOTE :::::  dont go where you are  just tolorated go where you are celebrated & you will be.... if you celebrate others.
And you will be rewarded for it in the long run

"The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe."

John Walter Wayland (Virginia 1899)


 
 
Taken from Good Host
It works Be one :)
Pulpit Manners Part 2
 
Simple rules of hosting  guest speaker's. and being  guest ....
 
1 make them comfortable.
Ask them what their dietary needs are . Tell them what type of accommodations you have and let them make  the choice
Many gust  speakers would rather stay in a Hotel room why? Because, they have the privacy they need to prepare the ministry
If your guest speaker is willing to say at anyone's home make sure the home is pet and child free
But most of all make sure it is SICKNESS FREE
 
I read a book once when the guest speaker was sleeping in a guest house in a bed that a person hand influenza in THE SHEETS HAD NEVER BEEN  CHANGED  THE GUEST SPEAKER GOT SERIOUSLY ILL.
 
Change sheets  use Lysol. Maintain  cleanliness.
 
Prepared meals are great we do it all the time BUT we offer a variety of choice  from non fat meals to vegetables and different meats.
 
Hospitality is a must  manners are important . Always use manners 
Try to develop a ministry of Excellence and your own confidence level will grow.
 
2 Addressing your guest (works also for Host.)
 
 Never address your guest by their first name UNLESS they tell you to and NEVER, NEVER do so in front of other people It will lower the authority of the title they carry and might possibly effect the ministry . (I know it is hard to imagine that this is important, BUT IT IS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD)
When we become to familiar with the Speaker we can loose the very impact GOD wishes us to gain from them.
 
3 on time ? YES BE ON TIME!!
 
When you are being chauffeured or chaffering a guest speaker of if you are a guest speaker  try to be on time
I know it may look spiritual when someone comes in late but really it is bad manners .
As the driver  get them on time to the meeting ,
Sometimes it is important to assign 2 people to take care of your guests need for the entire meeting time.
 
Make sure they have cash and  know the needs and pleasures of the guests. Each Armor Bearer that is assigned to a Speaker must be versed on the person needs and if they have any special dietary needs etc.
 
Armor Bears need to get the speaker on time so they can access  and change the atmosphere of the meeting THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN.
 
Yes Ministry of excellence  can depend on how well a Speaker is taken care of .

 

Code of the West
(from "Cowboy Ethics: What Wall Street Can Learn from the Code of the West" by James P. Owen)

Live each day with courage. Take pride in your work. Always finish what you start.

Do what has to be done. Be tough, but fair. When you make a promise, keep it.

Ride for the brand. Talk less and say more. Remember that some things aren't for sale. Know where to draw the line.

 
Part 3 
 
As one who loves protocol I find their are hints to making anything
 a success including ministry
 its just ....DONE!
Do you give Gifts for Ministry Do you Get Gifts ??
What do you do about them?
 
You should say yes yes  GIVE a gift  .. Get a Gift
 
Here is a note of interest.. When you give a gift to a host Never give to them out of there need.
 Aways give to them from the position of office  Why ?
No need to make there needs known  and make them vulnerable to scrutiny
Cover and Honor all leaders
Below are some Hints of Purpose during ministry
Most are easy but sometime we need reminders.. so enjoy the teaching.
  
Hand write a thank-you notes  remember to mail them .

Visit ministry web site before you minister at their  venue.
 
 Get to know the Host  This is epically good if you want to return to the Host Ministry.
 
NEVER GO FOR THE MONEY !
 NEVER GO JUST BECAUSE A FRIEND WANTS YOU TO GO
ASK GOD EVEN IF IT NOT THE DESIRE YOU WANT YOU WANT HIS.

Make a list of press release s or sites to allow people to see where you are ministering

Compose an e-mail  letter's

Call a few prospective Ministries  to get their e-mail contact information

Plan a renaming of your products Or even your displays... change is good .

Recognize a special prospect . .Always recognize your host when speaking  Give HONOR

Post new information on your web site Plan your  calendar for the week or month

Call to follow up with networking contacts stay connected .Watch what you say to others about a ministry
 
YOU can always find fault  just try not to.

Mail samples of your product to top prospects THIS is good business
Rewrite your phone's on-hold message script.Write an article or other text for your newsletter Let others write to you and post it..... it  will keep relations going.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When Rob and  I are asked to  minister We Always Bring a gift Representing
 The Kingdom
We are serious about Giving it is Just Right .
Kings do it Presidents do it Just dont be cheep about it ..It wont cost you a lot It will cost you everything to be prepared to Bless!!But Not Financially ...you figure it out ..
                        
                                                                               


Beauty Tips
by Audrey Hepburn


For attractive lips, Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, Let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, Walk with the knowledge you'll NEVER walk alone.
PEOPLE, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw-out ANYbody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of YOUR arm.
As you grow older,you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, And the beauty of a woman with passing years-only grows
