These Kate Spade themed party decor ideas use black and white stripes, hot pink and gold accents to create a glam celebration that’s perfect for a New Year’s Eve party, baby or bridal shower, bachelorette party or any other fabulous event.
Kate Spade was an iconic American fashion designer who often mixed black and white with gold and pops of pink.
I have always loved her handbags, so when I was looking for a color scheme for my New Year’s Eve party, I decided her designs would be a great inspiration.
Kate Spade patterns are a little bit glam (which is right up my alley) and usually have some bright pops of color (also my thing!).
Since I love both of those elements, I didn’t have to work too hard to pull the party decor together.
Not to mention that I actually own a black and white striped Kate Spade tablecloth. So my party decorating was half way there. Okay, maybe not half way, but at least I had a start.
Even though I used this for New Year’s Eve, the decor isn’t really specific to that holiday.
I think it would be perfect for a bachelorette party, bridal shower, baby shower or even a Galentine’s Day celebration. Any time that glam and pink go hand in hand.
So in case you’re looking for some party inspiration, here are my best Kate Spade themed party decor ideas.
1 | Use black and white stripes
Since I already had the tablecloth, creating a Kate Spade inspired table setting seemed like a good way to start off my party decorations.
But if you don’t happen to have a black and white striped table cloth, wrapping paper works pretty well, too.
Since I only have one of the real Kate Spade table cloths, that’s what I did on the rest of my tables.
I put down plain black tablecloths* and used black and white striped paper runners* down the middle.
The bonus with this approach is that you can just roll it up and throw it away after the party is over.
2 | Add gold accents
I used black and white dinner plates*, with gold chargers*, gold-rimmed accent plates* and gold cutlery*.
All of that gold really upped the glam factor. And you know I love some glam!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a party night without some champagne…these sparkly champagne flutes* are my favorites!
3 | And pops of fuchsia
The fuchsia pink napkins* really stand out against the black and white backdrop.
Using gold-stemmed wine glasses* as vases for single pink roses is another easy way to add color to the table.
To get all the details, see my Kate Spade inspired table setting.
4 | Create some sparkle
To really up the glam factor, I put tall silver candelabras* with white taper candles* on every table. The height makes them stand out.
Then surrounded them mercury glass candle holders* around the bottom.
Putting them all on top of a mirror charger* causes the candle light to be reflected up into the room and makes the whole space look magical.
5 | Put up Black and White Curtains
To make the whole room go with the Kate Spade vibe, I decided to cover the walls in black and white stripes.
And it just so happens that I own enough black* and white velvet curtains* to hang alternating panels across the back wall of my living room. (The white ones are my usual living room drapes while I bought the black ones for my Phantom of the Opera party. I love it when I can re-use party accessories!)
However, if you don’t already have the drapes, you can also buy black and white foil curtains* pretty inexpensively and get the same effect.
6 | Hang Gold Balloons From The Ceiling
If you have seen most of my other parties, you know that I like to hang things from the ceiling.
I think it takes the party decor up a notch since it’s not something that you see every day.
For this party, I blew up some gold balloons*, tied black threads of varying lengths to them and hung them from coffee cup hooks in the ceiling.
Whenever I have a lot of balloons to blow up, I use my battery operated tire inflator* to do the work for me.
It’s much easier than having to do them all manually. And you can use it to fill up your car tires, too 🙂
7 | Use Kate Spade Inspired Chair Covers
Another one of my favorite ways to turn my house into a party spot is to cover my chairs.
For the dining chairs, I decided to go with fucshia pink chair covers* and gold sashes*.
It makes them all look like they are part of the theme.
And you don’t notice that they aren’t all the same size and shape, because they are all the same color.
Yes, these chair covers are usually used for weddings.
But the beauty of buying wedding decor is that it is often very reasonably priced (since most people are buying in large quantities).
Plus you don’t have to worry if anything gets spilled on them, because they are super easy to wash.
8 | Mix and match the colors
To keep things interesting, I went with a different combination for the bar chairs.
These ones had gold chair covers* with black sashes*.
They still go with the color scheme but are a little less flamboyant.
9 | Make Some large Paper Flowers
These DIY paper flowers are very Kate Spade.
To make them even better, hang them on a black and white striped paper* background.
That way they make an awesome photo op wall!
Or if you don’t want to go to all the trouble of making them from scratch, you can buy this paper flower kit* instead. (There is still a little work to fluff them, but you don’t have to cut and glue them.)
10 | Or use real fuchsia roses
Of course, if you don’t mind spending a little more money, you can always go with vases full of real fuchsia-colored roses.
Which is what I did to in my dining area to pull the color into the corners of the room.
