Belle nodded in approval as she took in the grand ball room, green and white lights were wrapped around the marble columns that lined either wall along with the emerald and silver ribbons. The lights also were strung over head and were glittering and twinkling like little stars with the grand chandeliers glowing brightly as well.
The massive French-windows that reached nearly from floor to ceiling were closed against the winter air but did have large vases filled with white calla-lilies, purple lilacs and blue forget-me-nots.
On the other wall were banquet tables filled with everything one could want from snacks to drinks. Tables were also strung around here and there around the dance floor and dais against the back wall where the DJ was set up.
Belle turned then as she heard foot steps coming her way and turned to see her house keeper smiling. "Helle Maxine, everything looks wonderful."
"I am glad you approve but you my dear need to go get ready the guests will be arriving soon. And before you ask I have all the guest room ready for those who are staying all weekend."
Belle smiled, "Thank you."
"Don't mention it, we are just glad the house has been opened back up and is filled with such warmth and cheer again."
Belle nodded, her mother used to throw grand parties all the time up until the night she died. She smiled wishes her mother could be there now, but knew she was looking over her. "Well I am off to go get ready."
And with that she left knowing that her butler Vincent, would handle everything.
