Yellow is having a moment, lace never left, and Arte Italica Vetro Gold belongs everywhere. Look on the bright side as we set one of our favorite china collections for a nostalgic garden soiree.
Now Trending: Bright yellow is trending after a prolonged color crush on butter yellow, as are the romantic leanings of lace details and 24 Karat accents for both weddings and galas this year. Trends are always just a revival of old ideas, playing off the culture at hand, but the real art is putting them together in a way that feels of the moment and speaks to YOU.
Below, we show you how to do just that with the classic Raynaud Bird Paradis porcelain charger and our full collection of Arte Italica 24K Vetro Gold plates.
Transform Your Event with a Vibrant Tablescape
This table doesn't just set the scene. It steals the show (in the most polite way possible, of course). Every additional accent is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a chance for guests to pause and feel like this specific moment was set just for them.
The white gold porcelain of Raynaud Paradis and 24 Karat Arte Italica Vetro Gold create exactly such a table.
When it comes to picking a tabletop, designers and hostesses alike often decide between trend vs. timeless accents. These are the aesthetics we are noting for weddings and events in 2026 - 2027.
The Trends Informing the Season
Get creative with color and texture. Buttercup and champagne yellows are a defining color of the entertaining and wedding season.
This also lends itself to vibrant shades of Mimosa (like the Shantung linen in our tablescape shown to the left), chartreuse, and canary yellow.
Lace has returned with a lighter, heirloom elegance.
Blame it on Wuthering Heights if you must, but we have never lost our love for lace! Used as an overlay or napkin, it can transform any table with a whimsical, romantic air.
24-karat gold accents have re-emerged as the true marker of luxury.
This one is a given for luxury entertaining, but the key is a tasteful addition to the tabletop. Our collections are curated with prestigious patterns and elegant aesthetics in mind. The Arte Italica Vetro Collection is undeniably chic and tasteful when added to any table.
The Patterns Inspiring our Tables
The Raynaud Paradis Blanc Charger: A simply irresistible French design inspired by the beauty of nature.
Raynaud has produced exceptional porcelain from Limoges for more than a century, and the Paradis collection stands as one of its most celebrated designs. The artwork originates from Fromental, the British interior design house known for exquisite Chinoiserie wallpaper used in some of the world’s most refined interiors.
The production process is equally extraordinary as designs are printed using a process called chromolithography. Artisans hand-apply the imagery to porcelain before firing and refining in tunnel kilns reaching 1,200°C. A meticulous hand-gilding technique completes the piece, making this more than just a charger - it is a piece of art for your table.
For spring and summer entertaining, Paradis is particularly striking. The white ground reflects light like a garden in bloom, while the vibrant botanical motifs echo the energy of the season.
The Arte Italica 24K Vetrol Gold Dinner Plate: Italian craftsmanship for true fine dining.
When Vetro Gold appears on a table, the room notices. The collection’s visual authority has reached cinematic proportions, even appearing in productions such as Downton Abbey: A New Era and The Regime.
Each glass begins as hand-etched Italian glass, detailed with delicate lace-like patterns in Tuscany. Florentine Master Artisans then apply gold accents by hand, creating pieces that feel both historic and entirely alive. We have always loved this piece, and we're delighted to now offer the Vetro Collection in dinner plate, salad plate, and B&B.
Ready, Set: Master the perfect stack with the P.O.S.H.
The secret to a luxurious mixed-pattern tablescape isn’t restraint. It’s finding two patterns with the same essence and then letting them tell the story together. The Raynaud Paradis charger and Arte Italica Vetro Gold glassware follow the same design principle found in great Chinoiserie interiors. Think sweeping botanical imagery and delicate hand-etched patterns. Together, they create a visual harmony even though they are very different pieces.

Mimosa Shantung Linen | Florentine Lace Overlay | Raynaud Bird Paradis Charger | Arte Italica 24 Karat Etched Vetro Plate | Honey Toile Salad and B&B | Cutipol GOA Ivory and Silver Flatware | Etched Amber Glassware | Duchess Goblet in Green | Gold Leaf Soup Cup with Handles | White Cane Back Chair
1. Start with the boldest piece
The Paradis charger anchors the table as the main focal point.
2. Let gold connect the table
The 24-karat highlights in Vetro Gold link the entire palette together. Cutipol flatware and Amber glassware extend the warmth of the overall aesthetic.
3. Introduce lace as a third texture
The Florentine Lace overlay bridges the botanical Paradis design and the etched glass patterns. We love how it allows the vivid allure of the Mimosa Shantung to peek out from beneath.
4. Bring yellow in through florals
R Love Floral tied this look together with a fresh seasonal mix of white ranunculus, yellow garden roses, daffodils, and mimosa, inspired by the Raynaud Paradis Charger.
5. Keep the salad plate simple
A clean ivory or white plate lets the Paradis charger remain the centerpiece. We have a large collection of white china in various shapes and silhouettes. We also never turn down an additional pattern. The Honey Toile Pattern finishes out this look perfectly, giving it an almost playful, relaxed feel, perfect for a garden luncheon. (Note: If you want to keep it more country club, opt for the white porcelain.)
