Moodboard: Color of the Year 2013

2013 is officially here! Have you made any resolutions? We came up with a few...

 

In regards to number one on our list, you've probably seen by now that Pantone has released it's color of the year as EMERALD! This jewel tone is a favorite of ours. (Jami and Laurel picked it for an upcoming trend this past fall - read about it here.) We couldn't resist making a moodboard, which is sure to inspire your party planning for the rest of the year. Tell us, how would you incorporate emerald into your life?

Goodbye 2012: The Year in Review

A quick look back before we look forward:
 - A gorgeous gold tabletop from the pages of Brides of North Texas. Shot by Perez Photography and designed by the fabulous ladies of DFW Events, this is one seat you'll want to recreate, maybe even for the new year.
- For all our Haute Mamas out there, our P.O.S.H. Petite line has been the perfect addition for their tiny tots at family parties, birthdays, and weddings. Led by two haute mamas ourselves, we are always inspired by mothers who seamlessly seem to do it all, hence this moodboard  Plus, who could forget this little cutie.
- We have the best clients. As tastemakers in their own right, we are endlessly inspired by their originality and creativity. See who shared their secrets in our Tastemaker series from the past year here. 
- We love helping you set the table, but we know a great guest's or hostess' taste goes well beyond a beautiful tabletop. Thus, we started POSH 101 to share tidbits on all things related to modern etiquette. If you read just one before heading out for the evening, let it be this one - perfect for a New Year's toast.
- Our favorite weddings make it to the blog. And by favorite we mean all of them because we see the hard work our brides and planners put into putting together the perfect tabletop. The enjoyment of their big day makes everyone's hard work that much more priceless. See a few of this weddings here.
- We love to Toast the things and people that make us smile. (Click on the Toast tab to the right to see what all has happened throughout the year.) A great moment happened to be this toast right here - thanks D Magazine!
- Of course, we love to entertain (again, click the Entertain tab to the right for a full list of great entertaining tips), but for NYE, this one should do you well.

Entertain: 3 Simple NYE Rules

New Year's Eve is just a few days away. With all the holiday comings-and-goings, it may have been easy to forget planning something special for this celebratory day, but that doesn't mean you have to let the season pass you by. Whether you're staying in with family and friends (or maybe just the two of you) or planning on having the biggest party of the year, three simple things should get your through last minute party planning. 

1.  Find something fun to wear: Whether you want to make a Kate Moss entrance with furs and feathers or take a regal and elegant approach like dear Lee Radziwill, set the tone for the soiree with equally festive attire.  New Year's does come but once a year, after all!
2.  Serve a few small bites here and there, but make guests feel special with bubbly served in P.O.S.H. glassware. Golden flutes, colorful trumpets, onyx goblets - the toast, the drink, and the glass will likely not soon be forgotten!
3.  Last but not least - celebrate with warm wishes, frivolous favors, great conversations, and dance music!  

What to wear: Lee | Kate | party dress | bulldog love // What to serve: Gold Lace glassware, Royal Gold glassware, Onyx glassware, Elise cut crystal glassware (all P.O.S.H. Couture Rentals) | Shrimp bites | Mirror menu // What to do: Glitter | Favor
