A Chanel themed black and white party – oh how lovely!

My dear friend, Karen, asked me to help her put together a surprise 30th birthday party for her daughter, Rachael. Rachael was coming into town and we had a small window of time to get this one completed – 12 days to be exact. The Chanel theme and simplistic color palette made this one move along easily as we “pinned” ideas and chatted constantly to be sure all the bases were covered and no detail missed. We think it turned out lovely and has become one of my favorite events to date. Rachael loved it and was completely surprised! Well done, Karen! You’ve got “Mom of the Year” in the bag!
