5 Things // November Favorites

Five things that are packing a punch this November also happen to be our Fall favorites. 
1. Arte Italica Cream Charger - Refined Italian elegance for just the right amount of ornateness with a neutral color to compliment any tabletop. 
2. Mahogany Rose and Mottahedeh Tree China Collections - Fall calls for deep hues, patterns that reflect the natural autumnal landscape, and of course, style that upholds family traditions. Feast the eyes while your feasting on everything from turkey to dumplings. 
3. Birch Hall Flatware - Add an Art Deco element so the first thing picked up at the table holds enough weight to not easily be forgotten.
4. Stella Goblets - Make a statement with the best color duo of all time - black and white. Our newest addition to the goblet family - the Stella - is a more mature version of our Chloe with a slim, elegant stem and substantial cup for the perfect pour. 
5. Crossback Chair - Inspired by the Parisian cafe chair, these crossback chairs go well with everything from farmhouse tables to family seating. 
Book your today to ensure these beauties make an appearance at your next soiree.

Five Things: Summer Entertaining

Today is officially the first day of Summer. It may be tough to beat the heat down in Texas, but don't let that stop you from some serious Summer Solstice entertaining. So sit back and relax (hopefully with a fan and a cool beverage) -- we've got the goods lined up for your hostess duties whether you're poolside, lakeside or oceanfront.

Pick something colorful for your lively libations - they'll look great in your guest's hands and be a prime point on the tabletop. For linens, go luxe with the White Hot Summer theme for a head table or focal point for the evening. #1 (Clockwise from top): Classic and Parisian Carnival Glass, Blue-Green Glassware, Elise Cut Crystal Stemware, all POSH Couture Rentals. #2 (Clockwise from top left): Ivory Petal Taffeta, Ivory Circle Ribbon Taffeta, Ivory Rosette, all Resource One Linens, exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals.

This playlist will get the good vibes flowing for an lazy Summer evening filled with friends and laughter. As always, the best bet is iTunes, but if you aren't a fan of Spotify yet, it is highly recommended.

We love our Lily Server and wanted to showcase a simple Summer dish that would perfectly fit the dish and the season. We called Kim Jameson at Cassandra's Fine Catering to see what she recommended. She originally found the recipe above in Bon Appetit and swears by it for Summer entertaining.

What kind of friends would we be if we didn't give you some advice on what to wear for hostess/guest duties? All of these looks are simple to achieve and can easily be switched out for other activities and events. // 1.
