First Floor - Ballroom
The Inspiration
The iconic Spanish crystal chandeliers have been a focal point of the Ballroom since they were installed in the late 1960s.
The Flowers
Recipe: Dried and fresh product including bird of paradise leaves, hyacinth blooms
Florist’s inspiration: Ronak invites viewers to reconsider the source of light and life within a space. The floral chandelier becomes a metaphor for collective presence — reminding us that illumination is the strongest when many voices, identities and stories come together as one.
