Hi Cake Sweeties
What a celebratory month for me! I turned 40 in July this year. A 40th birthday deserves a classy and fabulous celebration. I had a Chanel Inspired birthday party with my beloved family and sisterly friends.
I did quite a bit of research on Coco Chanel for this party but I only had one month to prepare. With Chanel No.40 being the focus, the classic black and white styling has been used beautifully throughout.
Take-home favour bags were designed to resemble black Chanel shopping paper bags and were placed alongside a photo booth station for guests to fill with all the desserts to take home.
Chanel’s signature quilting has also been used throughout the party design. All of this combined provides a feeling of classic and fabulous.
Would you have thought that black and white food would look delicious? This party is proof that it does! The dessert table featured an assortment of black and white candies and sweets.
Everything on the dessert table compliments each other, from cupcakes, macarons, cookies, Oreos covered in chocolate and not forgetting the stunning quilted cake. The incorporation of the logo onto the cake is simply classic and chic.
The paper straws make the table less serious, and they add a playful element to the table design. The silver candle holders add a touch of sophistication. We chose to put the different shades of peachy roses in the perfume shaped vases. The tablecloth was black we just had to lighten it up white Chanel inspired placemats, white plates, white serviettes etc. At the end, everything has been put together beautifully right down to the final details of Chanel’s genuine ribbons, the water bottle labels and even the stunning favour bags.
I also got the venue to layer the black chair covers with black slashes.
Watch out for these little details on the dessert and drinking tables as shown below:
