Party Patter: The Black And White Party

I had the pleasure not to long ago to do a big birthday bash for one of my customers.Usually what I like to do , is sit down with them and get an idea of what their vision is. She said lets make this the most elegant party I have ever had ! With that idea in mind I created a black and white ball. Theme parties can be an extremely fun escape for both you and your guests.The black and white theme has become quite popular.This type of party can be used for birthdays, sweet sixteen parties, or even a wedding.

Ideas on how to create a Hollywood theme
I used 3 tents for her event and created a movie star theme in the lounge area.I had pink champagne flowing in the fountain,and stanchions at the entrance of the tent. I also created a dramatic look with a long white runner and a vintage sofa for guests to sit on. All the posts on the tents where draped to create an elegant look, along with twinkle lights around the tents. I decided to use an accent color that was one of her favorites, and I found a beautiful black and white cake. I floated battery operated lily pads in her pond at dusk and it was magical.

Black and white theme ideas

. Send out black and white party invitations

. Tell your guests to dress in black or white.

. Use solid colored black & white table linens. Or black and white damask.

. Purchase black and white plates and napkins at the party store.

. Place candelabras on each table with pearls and some white roses .

. Create a ballroom dance floor with black and white floor tiles.

. Tie the backs of your chairs with black and white bows .

. Make or buy a black and white cake.

. Rent a photo booth and take black and white photos .

Drinks Always a crowd pleaser is the Chocolate martini , or how about a ice cold black or white russian yum! In addition you may want to add some white wine and Johnny walker black.

Desserts Carry the theme with your desserts too. Perhaps black and white cookies, black and white angle food cake, and black and white brownies.These are only a few suggestions their are so many dessert options available.

If someone where to ask me which was my favorite party to create for someone this one would be it . If your looking for a sophisticated romantic and eye catching party host a black and white ball.
