Tabletop Tuesday: Mint to Be

 

We love the mixture of seating styles.  All images by Perez Photography.

A glamorous affair with the Pantone Color of the Year seems a fitting way to end 2012. Inspired by emerald and gold accents with the popular mint hue, Alison Baker and Mary-Francis Hurt of DFW Events have created a head-turner of a tabletop. This look is surely "mint to be" throughout 2013 as well. Gorgeous job, ladies! See more, including a film by BEYOND, here. 

Get the look with POSH: Shown - Gold Lyons Flatware, Gold Floral Lace Champagne Flutes, Gold Chiavari Chairs. Add Emerald Chloe Goblets, Barcelona Gold Chargers and China, and mix in mint POSH Vintage pieces to complete this look.

Tabletop Tuesday: Love is in the Air

Today's tabletop Tuesday is a true treat: A sneak peek into the gorgeous pagers of the Fall 2013 issue of Brides of North Texas, which has proven itself to be the top-rated bridal magazine in Texas. Every page is filled with inspiration for future brides, and even for those of us who have already had our big day but love perusing inspiration boards to get ideas for future events. Crystal Frasier of Crystal Frasier Weddings teamed up with several talented vendors for the Fall issue, creating a romantic and whimsical design that has us falling in love with tablescapes all over again. Sometimes sticking with the classics is the perfect polished look you're looking for an unforgettable day. 

A beautiful invitation to set the tone for the event from Imaj Design.

Silvers and whites with the place settings are set off by a gorgeous natural arrangement of florals from We + You.

The full place setting from POSH includes: Mottahedeh White Lace Charger, Sophia Silver Dinner Plate, Gold Leaf Salad Plate and B&B, Michelangelo Flatware, Silver Goblet, and Silver Floral Lace Goblet and Champagne Flute

Tabletop Tuesday: Audrey Hepburn

If you were going to design an ideal client that was classic, cool, and most importantly, a ton of fun, who would think of? Well, if you're Todd Events, you think Aubrey Hepburn. And if you're us, you swoon over a tabletop where you'd get to sit with a girl who would easily be your best friend and partner in crime. Whether she showed up herself or in character--Eliza Doolittle, Holly Golightly, Jo Stockton, Princess Ann--Audrey would be right at home at this posh table.

Summer Steal: The Classic Chiavari

It's the favorite that works a ballroom and an outdoor wedding in a field with the same classic cool. Dress it up, choose a bold color, or just let the chiavari speak for itself with natural coloring. We've talked about our love for the chiavari chair before, and now we're spreading the love with one of our Summer Steals. Order and place a deposit for your chiavari by August 31, 2012, and get each chair at a special $6 price on events now throughout 2012. Take your pick of red, green, silver, gold, black, ivory, fruitwood, and natural with your choice of black, ivory, or white cushions. At this price, what are you waiting for?

Just in case the last post didn't make you see the light, we thought we'd give you a bigger taste of the importance of detail.

Silver rimmed china and stemware paired with silver beaded chargers atop Champagne Hammered Velvet equals serious elegance.

Champagne Ruffle Chameleon chair backs. Love.

Double dose of class: Champagne Organza with Double Rhinestone Trim.

With its unique shape and texture, the purple metallic charger sets the foundation for the Sevres china. The Lilac Nu Silk dinner napkins and Amethyst diamond napkin ring are icing on the cake.

Every angel of this table top inspires.

The ornate silver-plated flatware is coming up roses and daisies (literally), which begs the question: Why use plastic?

Amethyst Floral Organza equals petal power.

Elements of Design: Gold Standard

It's a phrase we often hear in work, life, and especially event planning -- the design is in the details. Shaping a soiree that lingers on the lips of guests long after they've gone home for the evening can only be accomplished by paying attention to the tiniest details. A fabulous table top is a feast for the eyes, but the magic is in the makeup. Herewith, the proper elements to make a POSH table guests won't soon forget.

The first sip (and look) isn't soon forgotten with this Gold Leaf glass.

Add a spot of leopard and gold beading for a feminine feel.
