Tabletop Tuesday | Golden Touch

Tami Winn always has a golden touch when it comes to stunning weddings and receptions. Her design for Annie and Blaine is no different. A mixture of floral patterns and gold bands created a romantic nod to everlasting love at each tabletop. See more of the beautiful couple and reception here.

The Spirit of Collecting

Monday we shared a bit of our POSH Vintage glassware collection, but today it's time for tea. The wonderfully chic and sophisticated world or Ms. Marin Fiske-Rankin and her team at the Meadows Museum had first dibs on setting a striking tea tablescapes with the vintage collection. The Meadows Museum was celebrating a monumental Francisco José de  Goya  y Lucientes acquisition. In 2013, Meadows Museum acquired 8 new works, ranging from Miguel Jacinto Meléndez to the Stewart Album, which is no small feat. Marin took the idea of collecting new works and transferred that spirit to tabletop with a collection of vintage pieces of course. No matter how it's layered or stacked, the mixed-and-matched patterns from brands like Rosenthal, Haviland, and Homer Laughlin (to name a few) made an incredible display for guests. Tamytha Cameron Photography captured every detail. See for yourself!

Assorted collections of tea cups and saucers make a statement in the entry.

Gorgeous gold chiavari chairs for guests to sit down and take in the beauty of the museum and the tabletops.

Assorted small plates with patterns ranging from Depression-era pink opaque to couture floral patterns means each individual plate makes a statement. Milk glass pedestals are perfect for displaying any amuse bouche.

The vintage collection hosts a wide variety of styles, sizes, and colors when it comes to tiered trays and cake pedestals.

 

Spring Forward | Nasher Garden Party

Nasher Sculpture Center from Marc Roberts on Vimeo.

With the Arctic Vortex literally putting a chill on our bright outlook, we knew it was time for a Spring throwback. The Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas (one of our favorite venues not only for parties and weddings but also to peruse on the random day off from work) shared a video highlighting their Garden Party from last year. We had the pleasure of working with amazing DFW vendors, like Mary Wright Shaw and Jackson Durham to name a few. This should get you in the mood for planning your next Spring soiree.

POSH Picks: The Festive Table

We are endlessly inspired with Oliver M. Furth's heavy hued tablescape for this month's issue of House Beautiful. Building of Spring's bright colors and the always in style jewel tones, Furth created a temptingly delicious tablescape. We're taking this idea to heart with our personal china at home and supplementing it with pops of color hand-picked from a variety of scalloped chargers, Chloe Goblets, Vintage Carnival Glassware, and chiavari chairs. The addition of a dazzling goblet or a chiavari chair in a pronounced color like green or red will take your tabletop from boring to spirited in no time. 

 WHAT WE LOVE

Furth's tabletop plays with patterns and colors. For Spring, we say channel your inner artist and break out of the classic neutral heavy stylings with our P.O.S.H. Picks below.

Can you tell by Monday's post that we are obsessed with green? Cool blues and crisp greens are the perfect pairing for a Spring evening. Take it from Bella Flora, the floral and event designer team that always produces centerpieces that truly captured the limelight of season with a variety of lush green florals. When the Four Seasons Resort and Club, Las Colinas shared these images, we knew they deserved their spot on Tabletop Tuesday. It's just the thing to brighten your day. 

Get the look: Start with a green chiavari chair (now on Summer Special!*) for proper festive seating. Then build off the gorgeous greenery and centerpieces with Scalloped Lime Chargers, Michelangelo Flatware,  and a mixture of Green Chloe Goblets and Blue-Green Swirl Stem Glassware.
