Tabletop Tuesday: Golden Glow

The glow coming from these amazing tabletops designed by Paige Chenault Events warmed our hearts. Touches of gold on a monochromatic backdrop of cream and ivory - and those gorgeous floral arrangements by Stacey Murdoch of The Wildflower - prove that simple can indeed be stunning. Gary Donihoo and Kym Skiles of f8 studios captured the beautiful couple, Rachel and Andrew, and their wonderful wedding. See images of the entire event here.

ONE: The equally glowing couple, Rachel and Andrew, celebrate in style. We especially loved the centerpiece designed by The Wildflower. Get the look with our Simply Ivory China Collection and classic white hemstitch linen napkins.
TWO: A luscious (and undoubtedly delicious) cake on a gorgeous linen. Cake: Tamara Bayo for Four Seasons / Linen: Ivory Rosette by Resource One, exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals. 
THREE: Service and style. Get the look with our Gold Chiavari Chairs and mix up your tabletop with our Gold Filigree (Gold Lace) Glassware and the Gold Scroll Glassware. 
FOUR: We love great looking paper goods; they add a fun and festive element for your guests.

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!
