11 Bougie Chanel Party Ideas To Keep It Classy (2025)

Hoping to throw a high fashion-worthy party? Then you need these amazing Chanel party ideas! We associate the designer brand Chanel with all things lavish, classy, and tasteful. And there’s no reason why your next party can’t capture that same spirit.

First things first, you need the perfect party venue to bring your Chanel party to life. Luckily, you’ve come to Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. Our platform makes it easy to discover and book unique event spaces that bring your gatherings to life in cities across the globe. We’ll share a few examples ahead alongside our party ideas.

For anyone who’d like to infuse some bougie vibes at their next big gathering, here are 11 Chanel party ideas that’ll help you keep things classy.

1. Rent a Chanel-themed party space and wow your guests

Want to throw your party in a super luxurious venue that happens to love Chanel as much as you? We’ve got you covered, then! Peerspace has such a diverse array of spaces available for rent that you’ll find several specifically Chanel-themed spaces on the platform.

For example, there’s this vintage Chanel-inspired experience in downtown Indianapolis, IN. It is a fashion-inspired location that’ll save you a ton of decorating effort. The hosts also offer to help set up anything you need before your big soiree, which is not a service you’re likely to find anywhere other than Peerspace! It’s a super fun space that offers you the comforts of home, only in a truly opulent and one-of-a-kind setting.

2. Use Chanel’s color scheme to enhance your party atmosphere

For this Chanel party idea, use the classic Chanel color scheme, consisting of the brand’s five signature colors: black, white, gold, beige, and red. You can learn more about “Chanel color theory” with this video featured by the Cut.

And you don’t have to use all five of these colors to decorate, either. You could do a base of black and white with smaller pops of red, for example, and combined with your other decor features, it’ll still be clear what your decor is going for. Here’s an example of a Chanel-themed 40th birthday party that used primarily the black and white for their color scheme, with a few additions of gold and silver that elevate things a bit more.

3. Do as Coco would do and host a fashion photoshoot

Fashion photography is its own style of photography with its own conventions. Encyclopedia.com defines a fashion photograph as “a photograph made specifically to show (or, in some cases, to allude to) clothing or accessories, usually with the intent of documenting or selling the fashion.”

You and your friends can do a photoshoot of yourselves that’s inspired by fashion photography, documenting some seriously cool outfits, makeup looks, and so forth in a stylish location.

If you’re not sure where to hold your photo shoot, consider renting a studio space by the hour through Peerspace. While Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for short-term space rentals, this includes more than just event space. We can also connect you with amazing professional photo studios in cities across the globe.

An example of what Peerspace has to offer is Montmartre at Hodgepodge Studios in Philadelphia, PA. It would be an ideal setting for a fashion-inspired photoshoot, and much like the Chanel brand itself, French to its very core.

Between your stylish Peerspace venue and these party ideas, taking tons of photos will be a must-do. Let our inside photoshoot ideas that’ll pop on the ‘gram be your inspiration!

4. Dress in Chanel-inspired outfits

If possible, one of our top Chanel party ideas is to dress in an outfit inspired by the timeless fashion of Chanel, as well as encourage your guests to do the same! The Yes Missy Lifestyle Blog has a guide to dressing like a “Chanel girl” with some examples of “Chanel-inspired looks” to get you started.

Whether you go for the iconic little black dress, gold and pearl accessories, or a leather Chanel-style quilted handbag, this dress code will help take your party theme to the next level.

5. Use a Chanel-themed centerpiece

Your centerpiece is one way to set the tone for your party and make sure people know what theme you’re shooting for. As an example, this floral purse centerpiece with a custom label is a winning and effective Chanel party idea. And this Chanel flower box centerpiece is another beautiful option and a bit of a splurge that’s worthy of Coco herself!

6. Buy a Chanel cake topper to make any cake worthy of your theme

If you’re serving a cake at your party (always a great way to make things feel more festive and celebratory!) then you can’t go wrong with a Chanel-themed cake topper. For instance, this realistic black handbag cake topper with a gold chain might have some of your guests wondering if you placed a real Chanel bag on your cake! Likewise, this cake topper with the Chanel logo will look equally lovely at your gathering.

7. Decorate with roses in hat boxes

Not only will roses look stunning, they’ll also make your party smell fantastic. This suggestion comes from Eventlyst: “Hat boxes with roses are also a must have at your Chanel party!

10. Put up a balloon arch to add depth and sparkle

We love the idea of a dramatic balloon arch in your chosen color scheme. It not only creates a bold visual effect but is also a truly affordable decorating choice that’s easy to put up and take down. An example of the kind of balloon arch we’re talking about is this black, rose gold, and white balloon garland kit, which has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars and can be purchased on Amazon for less than $13.

11. Give out Chanel party favors to thank your guests for attending

Putting together your own Chanel-inspired party favors is another way to make your party guests feel special and give your party an elevated and elegant feel. Guests will leave your gathering feeling like they’ve been truly pampered, even if the party favors themselves only cost you a few dollars each.

Here’s one useful guide to creating Chanel-themed party favor bags in video form, so it’s extra digestible. You can customize this to your liking, making it one of the most flexible Chanel party ideas.
