In the famous words of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel: “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”

Here is some Chanel-inspired wedding board inspiration. It’s a nice alternative to yet another Tiffany wedding. I love Tiffany’s just as much as the next girl, but this trend has been so diluted that it’s almost expected now. Just because it’s aqua, doesn’t make it Tiffany’s.

A Chanel-inspired wedding doesn’t have to break the bank. There are ways to bring the esprit de Coco into the design of your event, without having to put out thousands of euros to do it. Think black and white, light pink, muted tones, quilted textures, art deco patterns, grosgrain ribbon and charm bracelets.

Coco’s favorite flower was the camellia– use them in your bouquet, your hair, or floating in a bowl for centerpieces. These are trendy ideas and give a nod to Mademoiselle Chanel at the same time.

Keep it sophisticated, polished and elegantly Parisian. Don’t psych your guests out by wrapping a favor in Chanel ribbon or paper if it’s not the real deal inside the package. This is where the Paris element could come in- a “Paris” charm bracelet in a quilted favor box tied with a black grosgrain bow would get the “Chanel” theme across perfectly- and without any disappointments. A classic, 3-tiered cake with smooth white icing and simple black bands is a much more refined way to say “Chanel” than a replica of a Cambon handbag.
