5th time's a charm! Last weekend I hosted the fifth instalment of the white party... now known as the W5... five white parties over six years... this one was truly memorable in its own way. Last year, aka W4 was probably my most favourite as it was 65 people all adorned in white at my parents residence for a night of fantastical mayhem. However, this year's W5 was subtitled as the "apartment edition"... a smaller, more initmate group of key friends who all demanded a night to dress up in white, regardless of the setup or traditional scale of the event. I had been hesitant to tackle another white party as I had visions of the event growing larger than I was capable of producing; however, the concept of having a retro "back to basics" style event was enticing; invite close friends to a small gathering at one's place and provide them with a dress code. Forget the one month notice. Forget the pre-invitation propaganda flyers individually mailed out to past attendees. Forget the massive rental orders and door covers tickets. Bring it back to the basics...WHITE.
It was a stupendous success as 25+ people filled the 650 sq ft + space of my apartment last weekend, which was semi transformed into a clean pallet of white. I was ever so thankful that it was traditionally warm out, therefore leading to people drinking light beverages, the darkest being a rose, protecting my furniture from a possible disasterous stain.
The legacy cBo Events has created for its White Parties was fulfilled with great music, laughter, a hooka segment, and most importantly, close dear friends dressed head to (almost) toe in white, gathered together for a night of thematic fun.
Who knows what next year shall bring... but for now, cBo Events enjoyed the pleasure of a low key, back to basics night of fun and pure white.
