If you're thinking about fur...

This cold winter weather has us channeling one of our favorite movie stars - Anjelica Huston, shown above in a 1973 editorial for Yves Saint Laurent. She pulls off all the right seasonal tones, which we would also translate to tabletop. So if you're thinking high glamour and sophisticated holiday place settings, create your own textured tabletop with furs and velvet elements.

Tabletop Tuesday // Soft Glow

POSH Place Setting: Arte Italica Cream Charger, Michelangelo Flatware, Vintage Green Goblets, White Hemstitch Napkin, Gold Chiavari Chairs with White Tufted Cushions. Resource One Floral Overlay, exclusively at POSH. Centerpieces by Junior at The Garden Gate

We are in the business of celebrating, and it is an honor when that focus shines on bright young minds in Dallas. For a dinner honoring The Hockaday School's Centennial Celebration, hues of pink, cream, and amber created a soft glow, apropos for illuminating the success of a visionary school and what are sure to be future female leaders.  

Vintage Amber Goblets with new Arte Italica Cream Charger are an ideal mix of honoring the past, cherishing the present, and looking towards the future for a Hockaday luncheon.

The Hockaday School, Dallas' premier secondary school for girls has been left with quite a legacy by it's visionary founder Miss Ella Hockaday since its inception in 1913. Now celebrating their Centennial Campaign and  distinguished impact on young women in Dallas and beyond , Hockaday is proving the future is now with a year-long timeline of educational opportunities and celebrations. We are in the Lean In generation, and education for young women has never been more important. We love and appreciate a school that gives a strong voice to our female counterparts and look forward to seeing what these new voices of a generation will do for future of Texas and the world. Thank you, Hockaday, for making an impact. Learn more about The Hockaday School and the Centennial Celebration.

 The gorgeous place setting chosen to honor this specific Holiday luncheon created a soft glow of amber, light rose, and cream for an unforgettable tabletop. We can see this at late Fall luncheons, romantic weddings, and holiday gatherings. The mix of vintage goblets with a refined Arte Italica charger is the ideal mix for honoring the past while looking towards the future. Now that is worthy of a toast.
 

WW // Bohemian Rhapsody

With all the beautiful weddings we see, it's hard not to have a #WeddingWednesday on the blog (Texas vendors and planners know how to do it right, y'all.) Today, however, we are inspired by a West Coast wedding featuring the anti-traditional team of Stone Fox Bride. Their vibe is anti-bridezilla, and their brides's Big Day always looks like the best party you wish you were invited to. The wedding of Sarah and Tom came across our blog feed, and we immediately fell in love with the chill mix of tradition meets bohemian rhapsody. It also fits the autumn looks we're feeling right now, so we picked our favorite POSH pieces inspired by this breathtaking wedding (which you can see in it's entirety here.). Are you in love with this look like we are?

Love the autumnal mix in the floral runner. Get the look with POSH with a white hemstitch overlay and jute linen with our new crossback cafe chairs.

Clockwise from top left: New Floral Damask linens in Silver, Ivory, and Taupe. / New crossback chair // Vintage amber goblets / A mix of couture and vintage for the perfect place setting: Gold Bead Glass Charger, vintage dinner and salad plates, vintage crystal cordials, mixed Michelangelo and Floral Elegance flatware, white hemstitch napkin

 

If you're thinking sweet and southern

For the bride or hostess on a budget, here's a place setting that will have guest praising your simple yet stunning details. Focus on one couture element, like our Sevres Collection, and add in sweet (and affordable) accents to balance your Southern sophistication. We can see this look going from the bridal brunch and reception to Easter and Mother's Day.

What We Love

It's all in the details: The subtle stripes of the bride's gown and the Southern belle fit; the intricate floral detail of the Sevres collection and the simple designs of antique milk glass. 
 

If you're thinking about modern white

When it comes to tabletop, white always feels right. But if you're a modern bride who wants to stay classic yet fresh, or hosting a dinner that needs to hit on elegance yet not feel dated, the right mixtures of white and metallic tones will instantly update your tablescape.

Get the look with POSH: Gold Rimmed Glass Charger with Michelangelo Flatware.

What We Love

The cut of the dress with striking gold accents in her accessories makes the dress the on the left feel modern and fun. She could be easily be a bride, a gal on the town, or a women on the way to the opening night gala. Taking cues from her look, use your own white linens and add our Gold Rimmed Glass Charger or silver accent goblets. If you'd rather use a more texture-rich linen, Resource One's White Beaded Embroidered Taffeta or Lace linens are perfect. Like any look, edit down to the basics and see what phenomenal accents make the entire look worthwhile. What accents would you add to this look?

Tabletop Tuesday: Pleasing Purple

There is snow coming down outside (not a lot, but still) and chilly temperatures, so we're warming up with a little inspiration from our friends at Todd Events. To remind us that spring is just around the corner, the latest D Weddings features a hue we're seeing a lot of lately - purple. Play it sweet with pastes or glam it up by mixing in black, as shown below. This wouldn't be a bad bet for a Valentine's dinner, now would it?
