Toast: Beginning of Summer

With our P.O.S.H. Petites getting out of school this week, we know summer is nearly here. Poolside parties, June weddings, long evenings on the patio, and early morning lingering brunches can be expected. After seeing the end of year awards go out, we decide to toast this weekend with our own set of winners. Herewith, a few of our favorite stems. 

 

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.

To celebrate hump day and #WeddingWednesday, we'll try to showcase a few of our favorite genius planners, photographers, vendors, and their lovely brides. Today we have sweethearts celebrating in the Fort Worth Stockyards. The Southern belle action started with a variety of place settings, an outfit change, and plenty of two-steppin'. See a full list of vendors below and even more amazing pictures here.

The bride chose a variety of place settings for different tables. The head table got the royal treatment shown with this detail shot: Original Sevres China, Gold Leaf China, Gold Bead B&B, and classic hemstitch napkins.

The perfect place setting with a combination of rustic and glamour: Jan Barboglio Hammered Copper Charger, Sevres China, Gold Leaf China, Gold Bead B&B, Simply Ivory B&B, and monogrammed hemstitch napkins with ties.

 

A great example of the power of luxe layerings.

Tabletop Tuesday: Limelight

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. Love the vibrancy of color? See more bright looks here: Scarlet Pink / Pastel Pink / Spring Green / Orange + Pink

Going green has never been easier. From emerald (the color of the year) to celery, green accents will have everyone in a spring mood. We love a dash of this seasonal hue on tabletops for sweet June weddings or gorgeous pops of bright green for backyard gatherings with friends and family. How do you incorporate green? We'd love to see your pictures or inspiration boards. Check out our Go Green board here. 

Tablescape: Silver Beaded Chargers and Floral Elegance Silver Flatware pop with Green Chloe Goblets. Add Fruitwood Chiavari Chairs** and an Ivory Trellis Organza overlay from Resource One (exclusively at P.O.SH. Couture Rentals) with green bark linen, and you've got the perfect amount of Mother Nature's favorite accent color.
