Late Monday night, the White House showed off the finishing touches of first lady Melania Trump's first state dinner, as she and President Trump will host French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife at the executive mansion tomorrow.
Reporters were briefly allowed into the White House and were greeted by gold table settings, gold silverware, gold candlesticks, gold wine glasses, gold chairs situated elegantly around puffs of green and white flowers in the candlelit state dining room.

Get ready for the haters to scream “ostentatious!”
I think it is a little over the top but is subdued compared to Trump’s home and office in Trump Tower.

The more I see her in action, the more I think being First Lady is the perfect job for her. I hope she is enjoying it.

No extra help was hired to plan the event. Our First LADY is capable of being a First Lady without assistance Think about it!

Stunning. Nice touch with the cherry blossoms.

Melania Trump, who planned the dinner, used china from two past administration - Bill Clinton's and George H.W. Bush's,
that was stolen from the WH by the Clinton's upon their departure, but returned by police.There, I fixed it.

And we are reminded of Moochelle saying she hated being FLOTUS. It was early in the first 4 years, but she said it overseas too, IIRC.

Yep, gorgeous. Yep, ostentatious. Personally, I don’t think Macron is worthy of this. Should’ve been less over-the-top for him. Do this for Netanyahu, after the abuse he received at the hands of the last administration.
