Regal Event Linens

Let’s start by putting together a place setting fitting for a queen! Depending on the table featured at your event, you may want linens. The exception being tables with natural wood tabletops, like or Fruitwood Farm Table, which you’ll want to show off.

As of late any of our velvet linens have been a hit, as the plush materials is effective at lending a regal look to any tablescape. You can’t go wrong with neutral colors, such as black, white or taupe. Although, rich colors will contrast beautifully with metallic accents. Our current favorites include Magnolia Green and Navy Blue! However, if you want a tablescape that looks like it came straight from the Regency Era, consider our Gold & Ivory Fresco, Blue Kensington, or Ivory Pearl Shalimar Linens.

Opulent China

By far our most popular china for a luxe event is our Athena China, with its sleek gold border. For an especially regal look, consider or Ophelia or Hamlet China, with their more intricate designs. All of these pieces pair well with any of our glass chargers – elegant pieces that don’t take away from the fabulous gold accented china. We have a variety of options depending on your color scheme or style, including glass chargers with black, gold, silver, and even a beaded rim.

For flatware, we recommend either our beautiful Fresno or Abby Flatware. The Gold Matte color and bulky shape of Fresno will lend a big statement. Meanwhile, the dainty Abby Flatware is luxe yet understated. A better option if your china and charger is bold!

Luxe Barware

Every social event requires a bar and fresh beverages! Make sure you serve your drinks in glassware that suits your regal theme. Our Audrey Glassware is a dainty but timeless option, featuring a sleek design and luxe gold rim. Meanwhile, our Monaco Glassware has an intricate design that is sure to ‘wow’ your guests.

Vibrant Cherry Red & Teal

To complement the colors of the season, we love a vibrant tablescape. This design features cherry red and teal, for a look that is classically southern. Our warm fruitwood farm table acts as a base for White Square China, Navy Blue Velvet napkins, and Pure Glassware. A cool-toned, Dove Grey runner lends another hint of blue to the table. Meanwhile, our Brushed Copper Flatware and Audrey Gold Rim Glassware bring a touch of glam via metallics.

Natural Lime & Lemon

Sometimes less is more! For this natural table design, fresh citrus and fruit was the star of the show. Atop Heritage Ivory Linens, we placed our simple Artisan China and Wood Round Charger, complemented by Brushed Copper Flatware. The centerpieces consisted of fresh greenery and citrus, which were perfect for the lush lawn setting. To tie some greenery into the tablescape, we opted for our favorite fern velvet napkins. This design is ideal for a bright mid-morning brunch or afternoon cocktail hour!

Rustic Farm-to-Table

When you want a casual yet put-together look, opt for a farm-to-table design. This simple tablescape features our Artisan China, Sophia Flatware, and Madison Glassware. Despite the minimal serving ware and linens, what truly makes this layout is the table and chairs. Take our Cross-back chairs, which are plain yet oh so elegant. For a pop of color, you might consider brightly-colored napkins or a table runner. Perhaps in our Cornsilk Poly or Peaches n’ Cream Poly.

Bold Black & Gold

Black and gold are a classic pairing and surefire way to make a statement. This luxe and bold backyard alfresco dining table showcase a mix of moody hues, including black, gold, and a variety of red shades. For the serving ware, we opted for our Austin Flatware, Medallion Gold Glass Charger, and Madison Glassware. What amplifies this tablescape is the balance from glam elements, such as the gold and acrylic details. Take for example our always popular Acrylic Ghost Chairs! If you prefer an equally colorful but bright style, take a look at this colorful backyard party.

Classic Cookout

There is something so charming about gingham, and this backyard cookout-inspired table just does it for us. It was created using our Onyx China and silver Sophia Flatware. The true black plates are an easy way to bring the fun gingham tablecloth back down to earth. Yet super cute coke bottle centerpieces and our contemporary Davis Glassware keep the overall vibe light. For a look that is slightly more toned down, switch out this tablecloth for a solid or neutral color.
