Styling colored wine glasses might initially feel like a balancing act. After all, you wouldn't want them to clash with the rest of your table setting or decor. However, once you give them a try, you'll discover that these vibrant hues seamlessly integrate, breathing fresh life into your space and offering a unique twist to items you already own.
According to Laura Cassell Fischer, Vice President of Merchandise and Product Development at over&back, 'Adding color to your table is the simplest way to make your dinnerware feel new and different.' She notes that it's 'a relatively inexpensive way to create a new look.' Fischer suggests, 'You can always grab a glass or two and use them as bud vases at your table or around the house, which adds yet another reason to love colored glasses!'
Colored wine glasses also serve as captivating focal points, lending a 'pop of color to a more classic, minimalist tablescape,' according to Forbes. 'They can also be paired with other vivid decor pieces for a more maximalist, eclectic look,' she adds.
Embrace the opportunity to experiment with color and try something different. As Fischer puts it, 'colored glass will have a seat at the table for many seasons to come.' So, here's to adding a vibrant touch to your next gathering — cheers!
