Sophisticated 1920s sit-down dinner.

Guerard dressed square tables with the clean-lined sophistication of the 1920s, including ice-blue satin cloths trimmed in faux fur and black-and-white place settings with personalized napkin rings and a rhinestone brooch. She decorated the invitations, menu, and place cards with similar “gems.”

Individual cakes continue the decadent theme.

Rented retro accessories set the stage.

Continue the decadent theme are the signature blue martinis (vodka with blue Curaçao) garnished with black olives on mother-of-pearl picks.

The luxe first course: cold-poached Maine lobster tail on a nest of julienne vegetables with a lobster and herb aioli.

Guerard used the same paper from the invitations to hand-wrap the cigars and finished each with a blue rhinestone.
