Coco Chanel Scent Bar

As promised, a recap of the lovely scent bar we created for the Parisian Coco Chanel inspired bridal shower.  With head, heart, and base notes to choose from, guests could create their own signature scent or make one of the provided scent recipes.   We had custom roller ball perfume bottles made with the bride-to-be's name for guests to take their signature scents and favors home in.  And no Parisian Coco Chanel inspired bridal shower would be complete without an Eiffel Tower guest book.

Chanel Bridal Shower Inspiration

Love the color palette of pale pink, black and white for a shower.  Add a little class in the form of Ms. Coco Chanel, with fashion taking center stage, Parisian accents and you've got an elegant and stunning event.  The{little}details threw a Chanel inspired bridal shower this past weekend, that I cant' wait to share with you later this week.  In the meantime here's some inspiration for your Chanel inspire soiree, enjoy!

Coco Chanel inspired Bachelorette Bash

A grown up version of the bride-to-be's last night as a single lady.  In true fashion house design this inspiration board was cultivated with black, white, and glitz in mind.

Celebrate the bride-to-be in a black, white, and crystal palate with pearl accents.  With quotes from the famous Miss Chanel adding subtle fierceness to the party.  Our favorites are : "A girl should always be classy and fabulous", "I don't do fashion, I am fashion." and "In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different".  Favors of perfume bottles filled with candy can be stuffed into those iconic Chanel shopping bags.  And easy eats including cake pops and Couture Pop's lollipops, make for a mess free affair.

A Baby Shower a la Coco

How adorable is this Coco Chanel inspired Baby Shower as featured on Pizzazzeria.  And it was at one of my favorite Chicago bars, The Old Oak Tap. With it's adorable black and pink decor, classic Coco sayings "A girl should always be two things, classy and fabulous", and the beautiful couture cake, this shower is perfect for any fashionista baby.
