On Trend: Gold Globe Picks

Did everyone watch The Golden Globes last night? We had our fingers crossed for our favorite stars and loved every minute of it, especially watching Jodie Foster being honored with the Cecil B. Demille Award. As always, we pay particular attention to the fashion as it often features looks straight from the latest runway and is sure to inspire choices in color and texture for the rest of the year. We picked our favorites below. What were yours?

We know how hard the behind-the-scenes action is, so we were thrilled to see a feature on the great teams behind most of today's biggest stars - read Off Camera: A Look at Hollywood's Behind-the-Scenes Talent.

On Trend: Laurel's Picks

It's time to catch up with Laurel for her Fall picks. With a flair for ornamentation and texture, you can bet she has her finger on the pulse of cutting edge trends. She's shown you how to add jewel tones to your tabletop (see here), but now you can see how to add her favorite baroque 'n roll inspired trends. Check back later this week to see her other Fall picks and agenda. Missed Jami's? See it here and here.

 

1. Gold Metallic Brocade adds complexity of the line to your tabletop, perfect for the baroque look recently reintroduced by the runway, found in the inspired Dolce & Gabbana's 2012 looks. (Linen: Resource One, exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals)

2. Bronze Metallic Brocade, Black and Gold China Collection, and Onyx Glassware turn the D&G look from outfit to tabletop.

3. (From left) Baroque interiors full of excessive ornamentation and rich colors; Jessica Chastain wearing Alexander McQueen at the 2012 Oscars; Peter Paul Rubens self-portrait (1623).

 

On Trend: Laurel's Picks

After getting a dose of her Agenda, see what Laurel pick's are for summer.

Acryllic Scalloped Chargers in Pink, Lime, Gold, Turquoise + Orange // Hot Pink Chloe Goblet // Green Chiavari Chair

Anything with color is spot on for summertime. I love anything hot pink, coral, orange or neon, which are trendy right now. Summer is the best time to break out vibrant color hues, and they are always chic paired with classic white. I like a white cloth with vivid tabletop items, like the Chloe goblets or scalloped neon chargers with the green chiavari. I also love the parfait overlays from Resource One. Just remember, an amazing burst of color or print can go a long way. This summer, peach hues in any variation seems to be the biggest trend.

Coral // James Nares // James Nares for Coach // (Top linens): Burnt Orange Peau D'Soie, Coral Nu Silk, Coral Peau D'Soie, Persimmon Nu Silk; (Bottom linens): Cameo Rosette, Salmon Pintuck Taffetta, Raspberry Reverence with Raspberry Nu Silk (All linens, Resource One, exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals.)

Blue and white is my current summer obsession, especially with the blue and green goblets. The colors are amazing, and they bring a simple white hemstitch to life. The Sevres Collection, one of Jami's picks, is another classic favorite. I love that you can mix the whole set, and no matter how many times you see them there are so many beautiful colors in the china you can pull a different look every time.

On Trend: Jami's Picks

1. Bamboo Folding Chair / White Hemstitch Overlay / Underlay Linens in Bright Purple Classic Velvet, Canary Classic Velvet, Wheatgrass Textured Linen, Lipstick Classic Velvet, Melon Classic Velvet, Saffron Textured Linen (All Resource One, exclusively at POSH Couture Rentals)

I love the white hemstitch overlays and folding bamboo chairs with bright underlay linens. A little bolt of color makes the natural elements really stand out.

2. Sevres Collection China with Rattan Round + Square Charger

3. Lily Flower Bowl 

I love this piece for individual appetizer service. 

4. Blue/Green Glassware

I really think glassware is so fun. People put a lot of thought into what they serve for drinks, so why not extend that to the glassware? This was a long overdue addition to the showroom, and it is very popular in other parts of the country. I love them and the pressed glass goblets along with our Sevres Collection. 

5. Custom Chiavari Chair Treatments

These are just a few options we have. The ability to create a custom chiavari chair is unique to POSH. I see many different colors used in the New York/Hamptons area. I don't think you should be afraid of color. Your guests will love it!

(BONUS: POSH Chiavari Chairs are on special for $6 each throughout the end of the year if you place your order and a deposit by August 31, 2012. Be sure to catch this great deal!)

On Trend: Meg's Picks

Meagan Hayes picks what's on trend for the months ahead. Keep these in mind for your next soiree. 

1. Monochromatic Color Schemes: Peach and Charcoal are strong choices for color schemes. Choose various shades for an ombre, which is a trend we have been seeing on everything from cakes and tabletops to clothing and hair.

2. Old Meets New: Classic styling mixing with modern pieces for the neo-traditionalists in you. 

3. Mixing Metals: Why choose between gold and silver when you can have both? 

On Trend: Julie's Picks

Julie Smith picks her favorite rentals for summer. We promise, you'll want to scoop them up for your next shindig. 

1. Mushroom Bengaline with Oyster Metallic Mesh Overlay: Naturals are big right now. And what better way to embrace summer? 

2. Lily Server: A classy and clever way to add style to your amuse bouche. Check out our Five Things for a great watermelon gazpacho from Kim at Cassandra's Catering. Perfect for this dish! 

3. Vintage Carnival Glassware: A stylish twist on your tabletop -- this was huge in the D Weddings Fall 2012 issue. While it's great any time of year, Julie calls this the modern mason jar. It's perfect for summer sweat tea and cold beverages. 

4. Gold Floral Lace Goblet and Champagne Flute, plus the Amber Trumpet Glass: One look at these and you'll know why this is Julie's favorite way to toast a summer soiree. Touches of gold with your natural linens bring effortless elegance to your tabletop. 

5. Mottahedeh Tree Charger and China: Unique and textured finishes for a dream tabletop. 

On Trend: White OUT!

If you can't tell, we're having a white moment. Check out the fashion that inspired the newest additions to our showroom - the classic white oak folding chair.
