Because a show-stopping table for the guests deserves as much attention as the dress. This season, as ever, it's all about the art of the stack—ultra-feminine flourishes, distinct layers, and sleek silhouettes that feel as contemporary as they do couture.
The new mood? Unapologetic individuality. While copy-and-paste place settings abound, these reception styles revel in the unexpected, proving that glamour truly lives in the details. Consider this your POSH-approved guide to a tabletop that is sure to turn a few heads.
A STUDY OF CONTRAST

A toast to this chorus of contrast — edgy details and poetic layers of gray that pair playful gold flourishes with geometric forms to symphonic effect. It is the ultimate reminder to never mind the naysayers and say “I do” to what is innately YOU.
Marchesa’s iconic Shades of Grey china pattern plays off our Garden Toile salad plate on Smoke, creating contrast between classic refinement and free-spirited ease. Sculptural touches elevate the mood, from Kim Seybert’s helix-inspired glassware to gilded embellishments that glimmer under candlelight.
The palette—grey, smoke, and liquid gold—exudes warmth while whispering luxury. It’s timeless elegance, but with a twist entirely its own.

CRYSTAL PERSUASION

Bespoke details graced this table with poetic precision. From the Ceci Couture paper suites to the gilded pattern of the iconic Hawythorne Onyx and Platinum China Collection and Laser Cut Crystal Chargers, this wedding reception seamlessly blended artistry with intention.
Kim Seybert's Helix Glass is again the pièce de résistance of the tablescape: Its architectural silhouette boldly catches your gaze as well as the champagne, making it an unapologetically glamorous vessel for the table.

Something Pervinca, Pretty Please

The bridal blues of tradition find their couture muse in Ginori’s Pervinca. Dreamy yet refined, the powder-blue porcelain feels modern layered over Arte Italica’s Light Blue Charger—an Italian pairing that balances delicacy with gravitas. Finished with golden accents and crystalline glassware, it’s a palette designed for brides who want their tablescapes to feel nostalgically sweet, not saccharine.
The biggest surprise? Three separate bars, making the wedding reception and after party and all night event. Various collections of our blue glassware fit right in, but an unexpected shade slipped through at the end of the night—haute pink. Glassware is always a fun and easy way to inspire surprise and delight.
On the Bar:
Blue Bar: Classic Blue Glassware | Blue Crystal Water Goblet | Vintage Etched Stemware in Blue | Carrie Cosmo in Blue | Carrie Wine Glass in Blue
Pink Bar: Duchess Goblets in Hot Pink | Carrie Cosmo and Carrie Wine in Rose and Peach | Vintage Etched Glassware in Light Pink
