Let It Glow // Illuminating Tabletops

The holidays revolve around family and friends gathering 'round the table. Illuminate the season with trusted, key pieces that easily transition with family pieces or add a rich element to your upcoming celebrations. Here are a few tips on adding posh elegance:

1. We love the idea of cream and ivory additions adding a subtle glow to tabletops. Both Arte Italica Cream Charger and Basket Weave Ivory China Collection have intricate details which prove there is nothing bland about the season's favorite neutral. Bring in POSH Vintage patterns for a truly seasonal look that celebrates both the past, present, and future. 

2. Give guests a gracious welcome with fine crystal and stemware. The new Valencia Etched Stemware Collection give a gorgeous glimmer to cocktail hour and make an impressive display on luxe vignettes and bar carts. 

3. Bring something bright to the holidays with a richly hued Stella Goblet. Purple is the color of royalty and a nice break from the typical holiday hues - what better way to toast your guests?

4. Speaking of the typical holiday hues, we still love bringing traditional colors and patterns into tablescapes with our linens. Damasks in gold, red, burgundy, and deep greens adds a Southern touch while keeping the season in mind.

5. If you really want to add a festive shine to a fashionable feast, the new Silver Versailles Charger and Dinner Plate instantly adds glamor to winter whites. Just add statement stemware and you're set.  
 

Tabletop Tuesday // Soft Glow

POSH Place Setting: Arte Italica Cream Charger, Michelangelo Flatware, Vintage Green Goblets, White Hemstitch Napkin, Gold Chiavari Chairs with White Tufted Cushions. Resource One Floral Overlay, exclusively at POSH. Centerpieces by Junior at The Garden Gate

We are in the business of celebrating, and it is an honor when that focus shines on bright young minds in Dallas. For a dinner honoring The Hockaday School's Centennial Celebration, hues of pink, cream, and amber created a soft glow, apropos for illuminating the success of a visionary school and what are sure to be future female leaders.  

Vintage Amber Goblets with new Arte Italica Cream Charger are an ideal mix of honoring the past, cherishing the present, and looking towards the future for a Hockaday luncheon.

The Hockaday School, Dallas' premier secondary school for girls has been left with quite a legacy by it's visionary founder Miss Ella Hockaday since its inception in 1913. Now celebrating their Centennial Campaign and  distinguished impact on young women in Dallas and beyond , Hockaday is proving the future is now with a year-long timeline of educational opportunities and celebrations. We are in the Lean In generation, and education for young women has never been more important. We love and appreciate a school that gives a strong voice to our female counterparts and look forward to seeing what these new voices of a generation will do for future of Texas and the world. Thank you, Hockaday, for making an impact. Learn more about The Hockaday School and the Centennial Celebration.

 The gorgeous place setting chosen to honor this specific Holiday luncheon created a soft glow of amber, light rose, and cream for an unforgettable tabletop. We can see this at late Fall luncheons, romantic weddings, and holiday gatherings. The mix of vintage goblets with a refined Arte Italica charger is the ideal mix for honoring the past while looking towards the future. Now that is worthy of a toast.

What Wowed Us: Modern Day Grace

This wedding popped up in our weekly blog reads, and we were immediately struck by it's sophisticated elegance. Not only that, but the beautiful bride reminded us of a modern day Grace Kelly - graceful and timeless. Bella Flora provided romantic floral arrangements in creamy palettes that took our breath away. What a lovely day for the bride and groom, and although it was an October wedding, we can see these creams and gold working well throughout the year.
