Throw a POSH Picnic

With the last month of summer sure to fly by, we're dreaming of last minute excursions to the lake or coast for a POSH picnic with close friends and loved ones. Gather together an array of artisan cheeses and meats, fresh fruit, white wine, lemonade for the little ones, and perhaps even a pie or baked goods. We like to make the whole experience memorable, so we pick an assortment of china and glassware that fits the vibe and makes a good backdrop for a festive afternoon of great conversation and fun photo ops. Our new P.O.S.H. Vintage Collection is a fun alternative to the typical paper plates and plastic tableware. It's the perfect intimate setting to celebrate birthdays, pop a big question (future grooms - hint, hint), or make your kiddos feel really special and get out in nature. 

Seaside picnic with assorted china plates and saucers. Set the tone with candles, seashells, and textured linens and blankets.

Can't make it to the lake? Turtle Creek is the perfect place for an Uptown picnic.

If sitting on the ground isn't your cup of tea, our white folding chairs are an easy way to provide comfortable seating with minimal setup and space. Decorate with pompoms for a fun affair.

 

Planning a really special moment on your picnic? Be sure to take the proper place setting to set the stage for success. Sevres China and Royal Gold Champagne Flutes are our top picks. Photo credit: Karlisch Photography

If you're thinking about the seaside

Left, The Princess of all Princesses, Grace Kelly playing photographer at a swimming competition at Palm Beach, Monte Carlo in 1972. Right, The ease of rattan charges and the elegance of cut crystal. Get the look with P.O.S.H.: Round Rattan Charger, Michelangelo Flatware, Elise Cut Crystal Stemware

Just because you're sitting by the sea doesn't mean you lack the style of a P.O.S.H. place setting for your guests. Take a cue from the always on point Grace Kelly, who took the laid-back vibe of beach life by mixing it with the elegance of a princess. Bring texturized elements, like rattan chargers and fruitwood chiavaris, and pair them with crystal stemware or luxurious metals for a seaside embrace of the high-low trend. Palm Beach approved.

New to the Showroom: Blue-Green Glassware

Is the Texas heat already getting to us, or is it the latest edition to our showroom that has us dreaming of the next seaside getaway? Whatever the reason, we are loving the blue-green glassware that just came in today! The detail alone makes us swoon, and there has never been an easier way to add something blue to your wedding table top. (What? That isn't a requirement? After you see these, it just might be.) We took a couple gorgeous pics from our favorite wedding designers to show you were you can place these beauties. Sigh. We just might be in love!

Great look for a modern garden party. We would replace the green glass with our spiced up blue-green versions. The extra edition of blue would really make this table POP! Clear Victoria Ghost Chair available at POSH Couture Rentals. Image courtesy of Preston Bailey  - Todd Events.

We really are Southern girls at heart. Adding our new glasses would add a special vintage element to this rustic table top. Perfect! Image courtesy of Alice HU Photography.

A unique outdoor setting calls for unique tableware. Break away from a two-color combo by adding our glasses, which will add a subtle green to this beautiful tablescape. Image courtesy Agnes Lopez Photography.
