Nostalgic, intentional, and refined: Superior pattern play arrives with the help of luxury event rentals for statement-making tablescapes.

For the savvy Southern hostess, heritage feels even more meaningful when juxtaposed with modernity in equal measure. These classic porcelain and fine china patterns have withstood the test of time, and with the help of a contemporary silhouette or unexpected plate added to their stacks, they also show us that what is old can be made new again. So without further ado, let’s spin the plates you will be adding to your next rental order.

FAMILY STYLE FARMHOUSE CHARM

We can’t have an Autumn revival without our favorite patterns, because the truth is, these two patterns are the ultimate O.G.’s. At least one tablescape in the showroom has to include Noritake’s elegant cinnamon red roses against a rich, mahogany background for fall and the always-in-season exotic bird. For this Fall feast, we set the table like our Southern Living subscription and silk pumpkin budget depended on it.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Mahogany Rose by Noritake and Charles Sadek Exotic Bird

A new perspective: There is something unexpected about a richly subdued palette that can hold court atop a farmhouse table at your weekend retreat in the country, could easily take over Thanksgiving place setting duties, but ultimately has a penchant for layering unexpected charm with a touch of modernity, thanks to the geometric design of the Mahogany Rose salad plate beneath the pedigreed Exotic Brid.

On the table: The trick to this table is layering various colors of our Metallic Glass Chargers for a fresh look that brightens the more traditional tabletop rentals. Bookmark this P.O.S.H. Pick for when you need an Autumn farmhouse aesthetic delivered straight to your table.

FINE DINING RECEPTION AT THE MANSION

As the days get shorter, we long to capture the last of the golden light. Often, this is done by bringing mixed metals and shimmering patterns for Fall tables. This classically trained pattern was made to shine, and is known for bringing a refined, radiant energy to any tabletop.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Versailles Platinum Charger and Dinner Plate

A new perspective: The intricate silver trellis and gold rim of this stunning porcelain from our couture collection have made their mark at many a wedding. And while plaid defines Fall, a proper dash of sophistication was needed to bring a contemporary polish to such an enduring seasonal aesthetic.

On the table: Embrace the dramatic palette of plaid by serving a soft yet simple mix of stunning designs–like delicate gold rimmed glasses and the intricate, luminous layers of the Versailles in Silver or Gold.

A SOFTLY GILDED AUTUMN SOIREE

No matter the posting or photography trends, when a bride picks our Sèvres and Anna Weatherley Collections, something 𝓈𝒾𝓃𝒸𝑒𝓇𝑒 slips through. This china stack is for the bride who is in love with the real thing and can authentically embody a classic aesthetic in a way that echoes her era.

The ​​pièce de résistance: Anna Weatherly Charger in Brushed Gold and Charles Sadek Sevres in Peach

A new perspective: Anna Weatherley is renowned for her hand-painted chargers, making each piece an heirloom-quality accent for the table. Softly gilded in brushed gold, this specific charger is the perfect foundation for the Sèvres' in Peau d’Abricot’s (a softly warm, peach) more traditional allure. Together, they provide a modern twist on tradition that our clients love so well.

On the table: This is a formal table made fabulous. Bring it to your table when you need a chic place setting fit for a seasonal feast.
