Statement Glassware
Whether it's sparkling wine flats, coupe glasses or elegant tumblers, the right glassware instantly elevates any gathering. If you're big into hosting, it's not a bad idea to start mini collections of timeless, quality glassware. Mixing and matching can certainly be super cute for some occasions/decor styles, but there's something SO chic about cohesiveness...
If you're in the market for new glassware, I have been absolutely obsessed with these JoyJolt wine glasses.
I purchased the pack of four last year, they are clear (and lead-free, because yes, that's an issue) glass, dishwasher safe, made in Europe and 13.5 oz. I can be a klutz so I can attest to the fact that they've held up and I definitely have gotten my money's worth already.
If you're more of a cocktail friend group, you have to check out these gorgeous, green Bormioli Rocco glasses. I have been eyeing them for a while, they also come in a blue and peach color.
A Stunning Serving Tray or Charcuterie Board
A beautiful tray doubles as décor and a practical way to serve appetizers, cheese or cocktails! This set of 3 acacia wood serving trays have taken the cake as my favorite to have at a gathering. They are easy to carry, easy to clean and easy to store. Each tray has a unique wood grain with natural color variations, so they are beautiful enough to display on their own.
