This photograph of a bouquet on display in the Blue Room was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on February 10, 2014. A press preview was held that day to showcase the decor and menu ahead of a State Dinner hosted by President Barack Obama for President François Hollande of the French Republic.

This French style was also used by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy during her time in the White House. The flowers complemented the decor of the State Dinner, which was inspired by painter Claude Monet's Water Lilies series. The State Dinner was held on the South Lawn on February 11, 2014.
