THROW A LITTLE TINSEL AROUND. THIS EPIC TABLESCAPE IS SURE TO SPARK THE IMAGINATION.

The weather may not be cooperating just yet, but we are in the holiday spirit nonetheless. And you know what that means, a chic change of scenery in the P.O.S.H. showroom. Our North Star while designing each table has been divine direction – an artful ease into autumnal abundance, shared ceremoniously for the harvest and holiday seasons. And remember, just being alive is a special occasion. Set the table accordingly, dolls.

It takes a village to bring tablescapes together–truly! We have planners, designers, clients, caterers, and florists all working together to create something remarkable. This year, we decided to breathe new life into our favorite patterns with the help of three incredible Dallas-based floral designers: Concepto, Bottega de Flores, and R. Love Floral. The results were extraordinary.

First up, the unbelievable bespoke floral of Concepto serves as a lightning strike on an onyx and gold table set with Lenox and Caskata fine china. (See Part One of their work in our Fall series: The Fall Reset: Heritage Drenching.)

RAE AND REVEL: AWAKEN THE MUSE

It’s the Life of a Showgirl, babes. The overall mood of this tablescape cannot be explained by a simple definition. But if we had to put it on paper, we’d say these whimsical elements lead us to deeper, magnetic depths. This holiday design isn’t just for a one-hit wonder; she’s a forever muse—one worthy of taking up space at the table. Could you chart out such a character? We certainly can:

Big Three (IYKYK): LEO SUN | LIBRA RISING | SCORPRO MOON

Celebrating: Embracing her intense emotional landscape while stepping into her radiant, future self. Cue the Diana Ross, child–she’s coming OUT! This magnetic tablescape was meant to shine, be it for a modern bride or an epic New Year's Eve soiree.

Deep Dives On: Kirsten Dunst, Salvador Dali dinner parties, shadow work, the new Taylor Swift album (She's a fan. Let the girl live!)

Personal China Collection: Fornasetti

Her P.O.S.H. Picks: Caskata Hawthorne Onyx Charger and Duchess Goblets

Her Mantra: “You must see to be seen.”

THE DYNAMIC DUO: CONCEPTO X CASKATA

I envisioned this design as a modern bride or woman having a party in an old European castle that had been abandoned for centuries. The chandelier would be covered with moss, but we are bringing whimsy back into the space, so layers of tinsel were brought in to create a fun, modern feeling. I love how it reflects the candlelight and plays off the black and gold place settings and glassware. - Pablo Arellano, Co-Founder and Lead Designer at Concepto

The reality is, we need a little whimsy in our lives to navigate the intensity of the world. This styling serves as a metaphor for how powerful play can be when uncovering beauty that has perhaps been dormant or neglected.

Concepto’s multilayered design—a nearly six-foot chandelier featuring real tree limbs covered in moss, black candlelight, and festive tinsel pooling into the center of the table reflects an elegant mix of rich black and gold tabletop accents and patterns from Caskata and Lenox. Just imagine eating dinner under this magnificent design!

THE TABLE: THE GILDED STACK

This table serves golden magnetism with legendary depth, the resilience of centuries-old traditions, and a playfulness that reminds us that elegance is the chicest way to push the envelope.

Stack these Lenox and Caskata fine china patterns for a glorious reflection of the beauty around you. And if you really want to wake up the muse, add the Kim Seybert Helix Goblet to manifest a mood worthy of a NYE-style dinner party.

The Charger: Hawthorne Onyx by Caskata

Fineley detailed chains of burnished platinum, semi-matte gold, and glossy black finish? Say less. This prestigious pattern is reminiscent of the finest filigree jewelry, but perfectly plated on creamy bone white china. Alone or stacked, the Caskata Hawthorne Onyx Charger makes a bold, sophisticated statement because presentation is, in fact, everything.

The Plates: Arbor Gold by Caskata stacked with Lenox Black Contempo Luxe and Carmen Onyx

We don't know what to tell you. You're just going to need to splurge on a stack this decadent if you are fulfilling all of your European castle, blow it out, end-of-the-year party goals. This stack covers every culinary offering.

The gilded rose petals of the Caskata Arbor Gold Dinner and canape plates are a perennial favorite for an elegant tabletop rental. Perfect for a three-course meal. But why not go the extra mile? The Carmen Onyx is perfect for chic, seasonal menu additions with its rimmed soup bowls with handles and after-dinner espresso cup and saucer.

Meeting both patterns in the middle is the Lenox Black Contempo Luxe, ideal for enjoying a main course and featuring a sleek black color profile with scalloped rims.

The Glassware: Signature Gold Wine Glasses, Duchess Goblet, Kim Seybert Helix Goblet

Handcrafted by artisans in Italy, our signature gold glassware rentals are a must for a sophisticated table. The Duchess goblets were specifically commissioned by P.O.S.H.. Handblown glass inlaid with 24K Gold and Silver makes these statement goblets a must for a well-heeled crowd.

The Flatware: Lucca Matte Black and Gold

Go bold with a new classic, which we specially sourced to adapt to current trends of mixing and matching elements. This style is also available in Black and Silver.

The Chair: The Cane Back Chair in Black

This classic chair was chosen to bring this over-the-top aesthetic to earth in the most elegant way. Natural elements tie in the the earthy textures of the centerpiece design while still creating a beautifully elevated seating option.
