Gabrielle Bonheur ‘Coco’ Chanel, also known simply as Coco Chanel, or Chanel, revolutionized the fashion world with casual feminine chic that grew to include elegant statement pieces such as the little black dress. Known for being a powerful businesswoman, Coco Chanel created an iconic brand that lives on more than 50 years since her passing – her Chanel No.5 perfume having celebrated 100 years of existence on May 5, 2021.
Can anyone match this amazing woman? We’ll try – here’s How To Throw A Chanel Themed Party.
1) The Chanel Colors
Coco Chanel once said of black, “I imposed black and it reigns still because black trumps all.” With white? It’s the quintessential Chanel. Coco Chanel also said of black and white’s pairing, “It’s the perfect harmony.” However, inspired by the Coco Mademoiselle campaign, beige and gold can cover your venue in soft, yet powerful sophistication. Metallics and brights, with a dash of tweed has also made a seasonal appearance. So, what to do? Personally, we think having sections of themed color is a fabulous idea. Imagine, a monochrome dessert table in one corner and an edge of gold and beige balloons and streamers in another. Trés chic!
2) Dress The Part
Oooh, we haven’t stopped raving about Chanel colors! A monochrome and neutral aesthetic will be stylishly offset by guests dressing in the seasonal colors of Chanel – shocking pink, tangerine and Cobalt blue, and pastels like baby blue, lemon yellow and rose lilac. Tell them to think timeless elegance.
3) Professional Makeup Artist
Chanel is known for the highest quality makeup in the world. Professional makeup artist to the celebrities, and for private and corporate events, Kate Kats has worked for Cosmopolitan, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar. Request her for your Chanel party and guests will come away feeling and looking amazing. To smell amazing too, have a perfume bar, where the girls can spritz themselves with divine Chanel scents.
4) The Dish on The Delish
The Chanel dessert bar needs yums from B. Patisserie – rich chocolate treats including: mini truffle and white chocolate cheesecake squares, chocolate covered strawberries, macaroons, doughnuts, brownie bites, and cake balls. Gimme Some Sugar can make a delicious pumpkin flavored – or any flavored – cake for center stage. Inspired drinks with rich flavors like berry juice with non-alcoholic champagne, chocolate milk, and lemon and lime soda can bring a great variety of fresh and indulgent tastes and textures to the beverage menu.
5) Entertainment
Chanel was known to enjoy some pretty . . . exciting parties. She surrounded herself with artists and aristocrats. Make sure the children have stellar entertainment like that from Yombu.
