What flowers were used for the State Dinner honori

What flowers were used for the State Dinner honoring French president Emmanuel Macron? #statedinner #roses #whitehousestatedinner

Created by event planner Jung Lee - and her company Fete - the flowers were inspired by how both the U.S. and French flags are red, blue and white. The flowers were mainly roses - the U.S. national flower - including the American beauty variety and Piano Roses. The tall candelabras holding the garnet red candles were meant to mimic the Statue of Liberty, which is France’s gift to the U.S.

France’s state flower is the fleur-de-lis. The three petals symbolize the holy trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit but also harken back to Louis VII. He loved the iris and officialized the flower as the exclusive royal decoration by wearing a blue robe with golden irises on his coronation. In fact, it was called the fleur-de-loys translated as the flower of lily which is why some confuse the lily with the state flower instead of the iris. But it is the iris that is France’s state flower.

Congrats to Jung Lee and her team. What an honor to have done this event. @jungleeny
