The first step for your Easter styling is your must-have tableware. Set down your plates, followed by napkins and cutlery first and then you can adorn the table with fabulous accessories. After that, choose your glassware for the occasion. We love to mix champagne coupes and tumblers for plenty of choices of drinks for our guests. As such, this gives the option for cocktail 'o clock and other beverages throughout the day!
