Tabletop Tuesday // Starry Nights

Tabletop design, floral arrangement, and image courtesy of Dr. Delphinium.

Dr. Delphinium has always had our hearts with their floral arrangements, but they also have a knack for creating unforgettable tabletops. With Art Deco being a huge trend in 2013 and 2014, they were influenced by the style of the roaring twenties as well. Luxe china collections and embellished linens certainly reflect the era of The Great Gatsby, and the Dr. Delphinium team captured it perfectly. We love the luscious floral arrangement (Daisy would approve) and the gold details sure to leave stars in your guests eyes. This is a tabletop perfect for breaking out of the winter doldrums or celebrating a bright new year.

2014 is definitely storming...as in ice, snow, and incredible wind chills. This may be one of the coldest January's yet in Texas. In order to warm us up, we're brainstorming winter entertaining with haute looks even in the coldest temperatures. Get the look below.

1.  Dress the party with long, silk gowns worthy of a night on the town topped with layers of knits and furs. You'll be sitting pretty (and warm) even if the power goes out.
2. The look of our distressed ivory chiavari is a favorite for rustic winter weddings and events. It obviously looks great in outdoor settings but also has the proper style for seriously stylish entertaining well-heeled guests.
3. You really can never go wrong with a white place setting, especially if it's a Simply Platinum Dinner Plate mixed with Gold Leaf China.
4. The perfect party favor is one that keeps guest warm of course. We love the idea of cashmere throws that can easily be layered and thrown across legs and shoulders.
5. Warm up your core with a hot beverage, from the hot toddy to good old fashioned shots of whiskey, we have just the glassware for you.
 

Tabletop Tuesday: PETITE Peter Rabbit

Can you say adorable? For the 2014 NACE Tabletop Competition, Mathes & Co. designed an incredible table for all those little POSH Petites out there . The classic childhood tale of our favorite mischievous bunny Peter Rabbit influenced this lush creation, complete with carrot-shaped favors and garden-inspired tabletop collections. The only thing missing are a few cute kiddos to enjoy this fun theme!

Get the look: Place Setting - Jan Barboglio Hammered Charger / Barcelona Gold Charger / Sevres China Collection / Gold Leaf Compote + Stemware / Light Green Chloe Goblet / Floral Elegance Flatware / Fern Bengaline Moire Linen / White Brighton Petite Chairs / 

Tabletop Tuesday: Once Upon a Fairytale

Once Upon a Fairytale, designed by Tami Winn Events. Photography by Tracy Autem Photography. Published in Brides of  North Texas, Fall 2013.  Get the look with POSH - Fruitwood Grand Chiavaris are the chairs of choice for a generous Southern seat.

Tami Winn's Fort Worth roots make her the ideal planner for a rustic yet luxe tabletop. If you know Cowtown, you'll understand why a love of landscape and nature as well as art and beauty permeates Tami's designs. For Brides of North Texas, she took her tabletop concept to Howell Family Farms and let her work come to life in this Southern fairytale setting. We love the mix of natural elements - burlap and greenery - juxtaposed with elegant mixed metals and decadent place settings. All you need is the happily ever after...

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.

Tabletop Tuesday: Veritas

Neiman Marcus recently revealed a stunning tabletop featuring a glorious assortment of Veritas Glass for their Conclave event. Veritas founder and designer Kathleen Allen focuses on a precise art form of gilded optic crystal glass. Allen's work is a one of true craftmanship, with her lamps, vases, and candlesticks taking hundreds of hours to complete to offer you a gold standard in tabletop decor. We were proud to partner with her on this tablescape that expresses the reflection of light and and luxury. Veritas will be available at Neiman Marcus this fall, but for now you can learn more about the brand and products here.

Tabletop Tuesday: A Perfect Mix

Fruitwood Chiavari with Tufted Cushions, Bronze Metallic Jute Linens

A perfect mix of masculine and feminine means equal parts distinct texture and shimmering cuts. Translated to tabletop, an ideal example is the place setting designed for the Meadows Museum. With a Jan Barboglio Hammered Copper Charger, the geometric and rose imprint of the Mahogany Rose China, and the sophisticated glistening of Gold Leaf Glassware, this could be one of our favorite layered looks. Beautiful to the eye and interesting to the touch, this is both ornate and cultivated - ideal for an elegant evening. For those planning ahead for Fall events, keep your eye on this P.O.S.H. place setting.

To celebrate hump day and #WeddingWednesday, we'll try to showcase a few of our favorite genius planners, photographers, vendors, and their lovely brides. Today we have sweethearts celebrating in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Southern belle action started with a variety of place settings, an outfit change, and plenty of two-steppin'. See a full list of vendors below and even more amazing pictures here.

The Stockyard Scene: Fruitwood Chiavari Charis and a variety of linens and chair covers, gorgeous floral centerpieces from Tami Winn.

The bride chose a variety of place settings for different tables. The head table got the royal treatment shown with this detail shot: Original Sevres China, Gold Leaf China, Gold Bead B&B, and classic hemstitch napkins.

The perfect place setting with a combination of rustic and glamour: Jan Barboglio Hammered Copper Charger, Sevres China, Gold Leaf China, Gold Bead B&B, Simply Ivory B&B, and monogrammed hemstitch napkins with ties.

 

A great example of the power of luxe layerings.

Tabletop Tuesday: An Iconic Blue

Even POSH pups prefer a chiavari chair, in pewter of course. All photos by Karlish Photography.

Love for The Great Gatsby and its collaboration with Tiffany's has sparked a resurgence of interest in the iconic hue known simply as Tiffany Blue. It has us thinking back to one of our favorite tablescapes photographed by Stephen Karlisch. We love the mix of old and new with a modern and festive cake plus the tried and true favorites, the Sevres Collection. It would be the perfect setting for Gatsby and Daisy to meet, and even more perfect for an outdoor wedding.

A cake that looks so good you almost don't want to eat it (almost being the key word here).
