Channel the sparkle of a Parisian night with a centerpiece that blends Moulin Rouge drama, Montmartre charm, and couture elegance—all in one unforgettable tablescape.
Bold, romantic, and unapologetically glamorous, this design is perfect for a bridal brunch, fashion fête, or any occasion that calls for a wink of Chanel and a dash of cabaret.
Black-and-white stripes meet red velvet drama in a palette that struts like Paris fashion week down the center of your table.
With an Eiffel Tower, piano, and plume, this centerpiece doesn’t just decorate—it tells a whole Parisian love story.
Velvet, pearls, feathers, and roses? It’s a tactile ticket to Paris, and everyone at the table’s invited.

Chanel Vase
Convert any rectangular glass vase into a Chanel-inspired bottle by adding a custom label.
- Use white paper and print out Chanel No. 5 perfume artwork.
- I used this Chanel No. 5 image below; for reference, "CHANEL" is 1-5/8" wide.
- Cut the artwork to size and center it on the front of the vase.
- Attach using double-sided tape for a clean, seamless look.
Set the Scene
Let’s start with a foundation that whispers, “You’ve arrived in Paris.”
- Start with a black and white striped tablecloth or fabric.
- This bold pattern evokes classic Parisian fashion and sets a high-contrast stage.
- Optionally, place risers in the center to give extra height to the Eiffel Tower and treble clef.
- Alternatively, use a 20-inch tall Eiffel tower in place of the 15-inch replica used here.
- Drape a section of red crushed velvet fabric over the center.
- Let it pool organically—it’s your table’s version of a red carpet.
- Add focal pieces:
- A silver Eiffel Tower (tall, proud, and iconic)
- A black treble clef and a mini piano figurine for a nod to Paris’s musical soul
- Your newly labeled Chanel No. 5 vase
- Fill the vase with white roses, one red rose, and a black ostrich feather for a splash of Moulin Rouge drama and Belle Époque glamour.
- Scatter white pearls and wine corks like keepsakes from a glamorous Montmartre night—equal parts romance and revelry.
Guest Experience
Now let’s dress each place setting with its own bit of Parisian panache.
- Fold black cloth napkins into bow tie shapes—the fashion-forward choice.
- Wrap each with a red party bead necklace for a cheeky, cabaret-inspired pop of color.
- Instant glamour with a playful twist!
Reverse View
The reverse view continues the story, ensuring every guest gets a front-row seat to this Paris-inspired stage.
- Optionally, add a red rose to the back side to keep the romance flowing all the way around.
Coordinating Details
I like to use storytelling to guide my choices—it helps create a centerpiece that’s personal, emotive, and unique.
