Traditional vs. Modern

Your personality should shine through your tabletop, especially during the holidays. Tradition and holiday hues can still be applied, but be sure that guests see a true reflection of the host where they sit. It is the most sincere and authentic gesture you can make when breaking bread with family and friends. Whatever your personal style or the interior design of your home, you can put together an exceptional tabletop for the holidays with a little help from your friends at POSH.

Traditional Tabletop

You have Mary McDonald's prints and patterns in your dining room and your own collection of Mottahedeh. How to spruce it up a little differently this year? Bring in the Versailles Silver Charger for an added layer of silver and the Parisian Flatware for just the right amount of gold. Forgo the same stemware as last year with a touch of true luxury with our Elise Cut Crystal Stemware for toasting all night long. And when dinner is finally served, look no further than our vintage silver dome platter - the presentation will definitely be worth it.

Modern Tabletop

Embrace the Art Deco theme that is taking everyone by storm. Choose luxe cut crystal with a geometric cut charger and a truly modern shape with our Artesian Flatware. Nothing says modern like a pop art throwback, which calls for a Chloe goblet in holiday hues of red and emerald green. The final touch? An immaculate clear ghost chair from Resource One. You're set for Christmas.

Take Note: Modern Rules

With notes of masculinity and fresh modernism hitting the runways, we're inspired to move forward with bold lines in feminine palettes and truly show our stripes. We still love the elegant ease of Chanel's always on point looks, as well as the easy yet refined style of a simple stripe. As we're on the cusp of Fall's social season, we imagine our favorite tastemakers will start off with conservative theme before heading into really decadent thematic palettes in the holiday season. Are you loving the stripes and masculine trends your seeing?

Get the look for your modern place setting by stealing a note from Chanel's style book: Clean linens and minimalist palettes with a slight dash of color in just the right spot. We'd go for pure white china or stoneware, Silverbead flatware, and Ambe goblets.

Masculine looks never look so good. Chanel Miranda Kerr's look for a lunch look and steal the idea for your tabletop with our new striped linens, available in a rainbow of colors. Contact us today for details.

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.

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?

Downtown Muse: The Neiman Marcus Windows

Dallas is such a hub of art, fashion, and design. We are constantly inspired by our city. One constant source of flash that strikes our fancy is the scene at Neiman Marcus. Walking past their windows alone is enough to make any girl go ga-ga. Just check out what corporate art curator Julie Kronick sourced from artist Sylvie Fleury  for the Dallas Art Fair.
