CHANEL built an elaborate French brasserie for its fashion show. The setting was even dubbed Brasserie Gabrielle, a nod to the French fashion house's namesake founder Coco Chanel and her birth name.
V.I.P. editors and celebrities were seated at a series of white-cloth-covered banquettes that rimmed the runway and were served cappuccinos, champagne, and pastries by models dressed as waiters.
The immersive experience took about six months to realize, down to the classic flower arrangements of palm fronds and beetroot red flowers that adorned each table.
For its March 10 runway show at the Grand Palais, Chanel welcomed 2,600 guests to its interpretation of a classic French brasserie. Produced by Villa Eugenie, the detailed setup included seven rows of tiered seating for attendees, not to mention 100 tables, 100 chairs, and three full-size bars.

You might not be able to build your own brasserie at your event so here are ways to be FRENCHIE INSPIRED on a smaller scale.
Transport yourself to Paris with one bite of these dreamy cookies that have a crisp exterior and slightly chewy center. They almost as pretty to look at as they are delicious to eat.
Set a thoroughly charming table inspired by French linens and flowers. Flower sack fabric covers folding chairs; small bouquets of roses dot the table. French lemons and bottles of water are the only other adornment.
