The invitations were sent out in four different coloured covers inspired by the macarons of Laduree.

False floors help raise guests so they can see better. The lighting system is necessary as the ballroom does not have built-in lighting rigs.

I designed the walls with false windows and huge antique-style mirrors to reflect all the light from the chandeliers and crystal.

The sofas were different colours inspired by Laduree macarons.

Younger guests sat at raised round sofa booths looking down on to the dance floor.

8 additional crystal chandeliers were designed and hung above the dance floor.

I drew illustrations inspired by the dishes to decorate the menu and give it an old-fashioned storybook feel.

I found portraits of Marie Antoinette and her friends to help create a feeling of sitting in her private salon.

The under-plates were custom-made for this event.
