Tabletop Tuesday: A Perfect Mix

Fruitwood Chiavari with Tufted Cushions, Bronze Metallic Jute Linens

A perfect mix of masculine and feminine means equal parts distinct texture and shimmering cuts. Translated to tabletop, an ideal example is the place setting designed for the Meadows Museum. With a Jan Barboglio Hammered Copper Charger, the geometric and rose imprint of the Mahogany Rose China, and the sophisticated glistening of Gold Leaf Glassware, this could be one of our favorite layered looks. Beautiful to the eye and interesting to the touch, this is both ornate and cultivated - ideal for an elegant evening. For those planning ahead for Fall events, keep your eye on this P.O.S.H. place setting.

Jan Barboglio Hammered Copper Charger, Barcelona Gold Charger, Mahogany Rose Dinner, Salad, and B&B Plates, Gold Leaf Demitasse, Dynasty 24K Flatware

Gold Leaf Tom Collins, Wine Goblet, and Champagne Flute.

If you're thinking about the 4th of July

It's officially July! The summer is flying by, so we're stopping to smell the roses this Fourth of July. Inspired by nautical prints and the great red, white, and blue, we're thinking a chic take on stars and stripes for a festive dinner at the lake. How will you celebrate the 4th? 

Get the look with P.O.S.H.: Independence Day is a day of celebration, which is why we love translating Old Glory's stripes to our attire and cut crystal to our stemware. The holiday has morphed into a more laid-back affair, but we like the idea of keeping it chic and classy to offer our utmost respect. Elise Cut Crystal in the clear winner when it coming to making a statement toast for such a special day.
