Tabletop Tuesday: The Great Gatsby

 Featured in Top Design for Modern Luxury Brides, the always on point Todd Fiscus designed his own Great Gatsby tabletop around a palette of black, gold, silver, and lavender, mixed metals, and glorious floral arrangements. We imagine intimate conversations amid a crowd of fabulous people, delicious gastronomic confections served in dainty crystal pieces, and, of course, a well-heeled crowd. Daisy would approve.

Tabletop Tuesday: Scarlet Spring

This noteworthy Spring tablescape comes just in time for Mother's Day. Rapturous hues of pink, red, and raspberry accented by glorious gold make a traditional brunch go from lackluster to lively. Designed by event planner Mary Wright Shaw with florals from the amazing team at Jackson Durham, this gorgeous look is definitely one to pin as you plan for May celebrations.

Gold Chiavari with Gold Cushion

To make sure the design wasn't too saccharine, Shaw spiced up the sweet hues with gold chiavari chairs and stemware. Below are close up of the fabulous details of the P.O.S.H. pieces. Get the look with our Scarlet Filigree Charger, Arte Italica Dinner Plate, Gold Lace Compote, Gold Lace and Gold Leaf Stemware, and Silver Bead Flatware.

Tabletop Tuesday: Spring Green

Green chiavari chairs are a brilliant and bright focal point for this Spring tablescape.

With emerald getting a lot of glory as Pantone's Color of the Year, we thought we'd throw around a little mean green love for this gorgeous Spring tablescape. Leave it to Mary Wright Shaw to know how to navigate around any hue for an elegant and enticing tabletop. The sublime floral centerpieces are courtesy of the creative team at Jackson Durham. This is just the look you need for a festive brunch or lunch. 
 

Rentals from P.O.S.H. COUTURE RENTALS, include the following: Green Chiavari Chairs, Acrylic Scalloped Turquoise Chargers, Vera Wang Dinner Plate, Silverbead Flatware, Silhouette White Wine Stemware, Extreme Reidel Red Wine Stemware, and Dark Green Chloe Goblet.

 

Scalloped chargers and Dark Green Chloe Goblets provide just the right accent for a Spring Green tabletop. And don't you love the use of real flora and fauna around the place settings?

Moodboard: Blushing Romance

Today's moodboard serves as serious inspiration for #WeddingWednesday. Thousands of blooms (roses, tulips, hydrangea), hundreds of guests, dozens of names (Neiman Marcus, Jimmy Choo, Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta), more than a few amazing vendors (see full list below), and one beautifully in love couple. 

Jordan Payne of Jordan Payne Events had a hand in designing everything for the bride, from the luscious cascades of florals to the amazing stationary and paper goods. Her concept brought the bride's romantic hues of pink and gold to life. We are in love with every aspect of this blushing bride's fairytale wedding. For more details on how Jordan brought it all together, visit here.

Get the look with P.O.S.H. COUTURE RENTALS: The bride loved our Mottahedeh Lace Charger, Gold Leaf China Collection, Gold Leaf Glassware and Stemware, and Parisian Stemware.

If you're thinking about glamour

Oscar de la Renta is a constant source of inspiration. He manages to make a luxurious statement with every collection. Glamor drips from everything he touches, even the most saccharine of colors, like pink. When we think of dressing the table as Oscar would his latest runway, we think of appeal of elaborate details - like the gold filigree etched throughout his gown below - and translate that to tabletop with our Gold Lace collection. Excess is never a question with Oscar, but it is just the right amount. Our favorite words of wisdom from the notable designer in regards to tabletop: "Set the table and make it beautiful, then don't pay any more attention to it." We can help with that.

Tabletop Tuesday: Golden Glow

When we saw the golden glow of this tablescape from Jordan Payne Events, we knew it was perfect for Fall. But it was the traditional earth tones and couture china mixed with the modern ghost chair that really caught our eye. The juxtaposition between classic and contemporary is perfect for the modern bride or the hostess with the mostess. Our favorite part? Jordan mixed three different goblets for a truly unique look that makes this POSH tabletop stand out. All you need now is the perfect apple cider recipe for our Amber Goblet!
