For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to scour antique shops and flea markets in search of one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. So when it came time to plan my wedding, it seemed only natural to incorporate these finds into our special day. From vintage china that could be re-used on every anniversary to 1970s coupe glasses from my parents’ wedding, I wanted our table to be more than just plates and glasses: I wanted it to tell a story. This love affair with vintage tabletop accessories led me to the beauty that is Casa de Perrin.
Casa de Perrin is a curated boutique rental company located in Los Angeles, California, specializing in tabletop and decor. The company was founded by husband and wife duo, Josh and Diana Perrin, who believe “that a certain magic that takes place across a dining table, with good friends and good wine, becomes infinitely more magical when decorated in 24K gold flatware and drop-dead heirloom treasures.” Josh and Diana realize, however, that magic does not come easily. For the past several years, they have scoured the globe to build their collection of vintage gems that have meticulously stood the test of time. Did I mention that they also have flawless taste? From delicate lace china to colorful crystal goblets and salt cellars, there isn’t a single piece in their inventory that won’t make your jaw drop.
So whether you are hosting a lavish fête or an intimate dinner party with friends, take a cue from Casa de Perrin and set your table with more than just plates and glasses. Add a pink crystal goblet or an heirloom dinner plate and bring a little magic to your table.
