Summer Steal: The Classic Chiavari

It's the favorite that works a ballroom and an outdoor wedding in a field with the same classic cool. Dress it up, choose a bold color, or just let the chiavari speak for itself with natural coloring. We've talked about our love for the chiavari chair before, and now we're spreading the love with one of our Summer Steals. Order and place a deposit for your chiavari by August 31, 2012, and get each chair at a special $6 price on events now throughout 2012. Take your pick of red, green, silver, gold, black, ivory, fruitwood, and natural with your choice of black, ivory, or white cushions. At this price, what are you waiting for?

Planning Tips: Mindy Weiss and Heidi Klum

Mindy Weiss is more than just a wedding planner--she's reached Hall of Fame status with plenty of celebrity clients recommending her good work. Hilary Duff and Nicole Richie. Yep. Gwen Stefani and Fergi. You bet. And that's just the beginning. She was featured on Heidi Klum's AOL channel, and it was too good not to share. Our favorite tips include spicing up your table with an incredible charger (we have one for every mood and occasion)and the best linens. Watch for cameos from two of our favorite bright prints -- the Blue/Green Floral Organza and Fuchsia Paillette Organza from Resource One, Inc., exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals.

Tabletop Tuesday: Hilary Duff

Mindy Weiss designed these tablescapes for Hilary Duff's wedding. They're too good not to share! We love how the reception design perfectly blends white glamour with a southern rustic charm. This looks like it could be a wedding fit for a celebrity or a sweet reception at a private residence.
