Tabletop Tuesday | Green With Envy

Tabletop Tuesday is a special part of our P.O.S.H. Preference blog every week.  It gives us gals at P.O.S.H. Couture Rentals a chance to share some of our favorite pieces, tabletops, and events that feature many of our beautiful pieces. 

This Tuesday, we are green with envy and coveting our Green Chapuis Sevres Antique Collection by Sadek and Green Vintage Carnival Glassware.  We love everything about these pieces from their intricate details to their ornate colors and we think you will love them too!

Tabletop Tuesday: Call of the Wild

We love that the exotic theme of the zoo made it to the tabletop. The palm leaf centerpiece makes just as much of a statement as a bold animal print.

Today's tabletop is for the leader of the pack. Fiercely unique with an amalgam of textures (natural elements plus exquisite couture details), this tablescape designed by Tami Winn Events is a fresh take on the formal tabletop. Tami was inspired by the location - the Fort Worth Zoo, and wanted to create a fun look for the non-traditional bride or a unique event. We think she succeeded, don't you?

A POSH tabletop takes a note from the wild as well with Rattan Round Chargers, Mottahedeh Tree Collection China, Michelangelo Flatware, Vintage Carnival Glassware in Purple, and Elise Cut Crystal.

Moodboard: Paris, je t'aime

Why do we love Paris so much? The whimsical and chic of lovers and travelers strikes a chord in both young and old. We are no stranger to this Parisian addiction. The feeling must be in the air because we're seeing a lot of behind-the-scenes action on photo shoots based around the idea of French love, Marie Antoinette, and of course, serious coverage from Paris Fashion Week. Over the next week, POSH Preference will be in Paris,  sharing the sights and inspiration from the city of love and lights. If you have a smartphone, be sure to follow us on Instagram (user name posh_preference) or here with your computer. In the meantime, get in the mood with one of our favorite bloggers - the adorable Garance Dore - and her Pardon My French series.

Top Row: Parisian Chic: A Style Guide by Ines de al Fressange * A stylish guide to the ultra cool Ines de la Fressange. I mean, can't we all learn something from the lady who inspires Jenny Lyons and closes Karl Lagerfield's Chanel runway shoes in her fifties? /  Paris, Je t'aime * Great quote; great film. / The Louvre * Amazing art inspires everything. / Ladurée * The only sweets that matter, since 1862.
Middle Row: The Eiffel Tower * This image captures what we love best about Paris - a magical morning on a terrace built for two with the Eiffel Tower in the background. / Marie Antoinette * The ill-fated queen with great sartorial influence and a flair for phrases ("Let them eat cake.") has inspired us since childhood. Even Sofia Coppola couldn't let her be lost in history. (Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette.)
Bottom: Champagne * The only true place to partake in the bubbly! / Vintage Parisian Carnival Glassware * The perfect glassware for your inner Francophile, available at POSH Couture Rentals. / The Palace of Versailles * Need we say more?

Tabletop Tuesday: Pink & Purple

Pink and purple can be adorable, they can be sweet, but if you pick your tabletop carefully, they can also transform your setting into an lavish affair. Jordan Payne of Jordan Payne Events perfectly captures this air of opulence with an ombre mix of candy toned hues with darker purples. Revealed in Brides of North Texas' Fall 2012 issue, this tablescape shows just how easy it is to transition pink and purple into a decidedly mature event.

Entertain: A Cocktail Bar with a Twist

Break tradition and get inspired by the always wonderful Mary McDonald. House Beautiful found her easily accessible bar the perfect twist to a cocktail hour. We were so inspired by the bright colors and simplistic setup, we recreated Mary's setting with POSH pieces. By turning a tabletop into a friendly self-serve table area rather than the traditional bar, guests have a chance to create personalized cocktails in bright stemware perfect for everything from a martini to champagne! 

Serving it up with a twist: We love adding traditional elements (classic silver pieces, blue and white vases) along with bright, modern pieces (exotic prints, ghost chairs, fun textures).

Tabletop Tuesday: Pocahontas

Who is Jordan Payne's ideal client? When D Weddings asked her to set the table for this guest of honor, she choose an iconic woman close to any Southern gal's heart--Pocahontas. The Dallas Arboretum's Crepe Myrtle Alley turned out to be a perfectly dreamy setting for such an event. See the tablescape that won our hearts over below.

Moodboard: Palm Beach Posh

With the Texas weather warming up, we're cooling off by looking at our favorite Palm Beach prints. They're popping up everywhere, from Charlotte Olympia's wedges to wallpaper and table tops!
