POSH KIDS PARTY | COCO CHANEL
Event Date: October 19th, 2013 by Despina Craig Events
Coco Chanel Theme Birthday Party for a 3 year old!
The inspiration
for the Coco Chanel Birthday Theme came from this old sepia photo of a Chanel store I discovered online. My
vision was to create that same store front for the 100 guests to enter into a 7000 thousand square foot space at Film City Studios in Canoga Park, CA.
To create the Chanel entrance, 8ft translucent lighted towers anchored the entrance with a custom banner designed and hung from the ceiling bearing the the Chanel logo. The perimeter of the of the space was defined with pipe and draped in sheer material with a black valence topping it off, in keeping with the tailored style of the boutique.
Guests walked along a 20ft pink carpet with stanchions on each side and stopped to
take photos at the step and repeat banner that was custom designed with the
Chanel logo and the birthday girls name. As the guests proceeded to enter the
party they were treated to mimosas at the entrance of the Chanel boutique.
The event team hung re-usable latex white balloons filled with air in various sizes 7ft, 5ft and 3ft to suggest Chanel's Signature pearls and to visually reduce the height of the 18ft ceiling.
Projected on the main wall was a Paris scene with the Eiffel Tower as the focal point to fill the space and provide a chic look We had up-lights projecting pink lights on the white walls around the room and added some palm trees for warmth in each corner of the room. Various Chanel quotes were custom designed on posters with the CC logo and the birthday girls name written over the logo adding a personalized feel to the displayed posters on easels'.
Children's tables were set-up for 24 guests with
pint size white chiavari chairs, the tables were dressed in soft pink linen's
with black chargers and pink napkins wrapped in rhinestones. Low centerpieces of white hydrangeas and white roses were embellished with pearls and and black twigs. The adult tables were dressed in
pink pin tuck linen with black chiavari chairs and the centerpieces had the
same fresh flowers as the children's tables.
Keeping with the
contemporary look the translucent lighted bar station served mimosas and the
translucent lighted buffet food station offered a variety of choices for adults
and children. A small refreshment table
for the children was set-up with sparkling lemonade in a beverage dispenser and
water bottles.
In the cabana the
children dressed up in pearl necklaces, bracelets' and diamond rings, boas,
sunglasses and hats and had elegant designs created on their
faces by upscale face painter. An open photo booth was available for the parents and children, with a
Paris scene in the background and a bistro table as a prop for the photo shoot.
A craft jewelry making station and a bouncy house was set-up just outside of
the Chanel boutique.
The dessert table
was designed to incorporate the colors of the Chanel theme. A custom designed canvas in pink black and
white hung over the dessert table with the birthday girls name written across
the Chanel logo. Chanel inspired cupcakes with little purses in black and pink,
other cupcakes with Chanel logo, cookies in pink and white with CC logo. Other
desserts included cake pops with the Chanel logo, and other candy that tied in
with our color palette. The cake is a prop, made of Styrofoam and covered in fondant and was custom designed to use as a centerpiece.
