Tabletop Tuesday // Bombay Remix

It's time to shine: Jade Bombay with Champagne Metallic Nu Silk chair covers, Metallic Nu Silk table linen, Jade Bombay dinner napkins with Metallic Nu Silk Mitered Border. All Resource One, Inc., exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals. Published in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, Fall 2013

There are certain times of the year that call for a strong linen. Anniversaries, wedding receptions, and holidays take the top bill for us. When it's time to shine, Resource One Linens custom colors and cuts are a must. New Year's Eve is just around the corner, and while the majority of clients are thinking barware and champagne flutes, we say go for a fabulous seated dinner or brunch with this Champagne Metallic Nu Silk Linen. This beautiful tablescape was published in Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine, Fall 2013, and deserves a toast of its own!  Don't forget the chiavari chair treatments. We love the Jade Bombay with Champagne Metallic Nu Silk covers shown above. Add a mixture of silver and gold elements on your tabletop - like our Versailles Charger and Dinner Plate or Dynasty 24 K Flatware, and crystal champagne coups and flutes, and you'll be set to ring in the New Year.

Resource One Linens are offered exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals.

Tabletop Tuesday // An Opulent Affair

Silver Chargers with Floral Elegance Flatware, Silver Goblet, Riedel and Pure Stemware.

You know you're in for a treat when Diann Valentine is behind your event. The wedding and event planner extraordinaire known for as many embellished details in decor to personalized moments throughout the event is the go-to gal for everyone from Usher to Toni Braxton and HBO. To make a milestone moment memorable, Diann goes for custom touches throughout the event, from the linens and tabletop to the decor. So when T.D. Jakes wanted to celebrate his 35th anniversary, Diann showed up in style. Custom linens created by Diann draped king-size tables with metallic elements that set a new silver standard for elegant tabletops. The event caught the eye of the iconic bridal magazine Grace Ormonde and was published in the Fall 2013 issue. We were proud to be a part of the event alongside other DFW vendors, including floral designers  Bella Flora and lighting geniuses Beyond. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more Diann and this amazing night.

We were thrilled to see this feature on CeciStyle Magazine with a luxurious Napa Valley wedding. Jordan Payne of Jordan Payne Events created an opulent affair for bride and groom Alice and Jason. Jordan's creative counterpart - the award-winning Ceci Johnson of Ceci New York, created an invitation suites that captured the ornate details of the event in paper form. We feel about Alice the way we sure Jordan and Ceci did, she is the epitome of the modern bride - elegant, enchanting, and appreciative of the details that take tradition with a twist to reflect their lifestyle and attitude. In other words, Alice is a POSH bride after our own hearts.

Alice's wedding invitation suite (above) and her glorious wedding inspired Ceci to create her own photoshoot around opulent details, as well as floral masterpieces that can only be described as true works of art. Her crowning achievement (below) can also be seen on her blog. Go here to see all of the amazing images of the events and her creative process.

The image above (from a beautiful wedding designed by DFW EVENTS which we will be sharing soon!) has the classic stylings of a timeless and traditional bride - a perfect match for our Sophie and Loren Victorian-inspired china collections. Below, the flower girl dress (from the same wedding) reminded us how often fashion and design reflect one another. Of course, it reminded us of the luscious petal linens offered by Resource One - a haute way to spice up your tabletops.

Moodboard: Tantalize with Texture

Touch has a memory.  John Keats

Texture adds an attraction to any fabric, setting the tone of the overall visual stimulus. When we see a bridal gown like the Amsale Blue Label Dahlia or anything from Stanley Korshak in-house couture designer Nardos Imam, we are teased by the falls and folds of chiffon. We want to touch the fine layers of tulle and embellished crepe that creates a magnificent aesthetic that is not lost on the eye of the beholder.

 These same arrangements of scheme and structure inspire many of the linens in our showroom. From fluttering petals to Valentino-inspired ruffled roses, we can bring the same allure of a couture gown directly to your guests with sensory aesthetics they aren't soon to forget. Customize your event for a feel all your own.
