THE FINEST DINING

the year of the dinner party EMBRACING THE LATEST TREND: TRANSFORMING LENGTHY WAIT LISTS AND BUSTLING EATERIES INTO INTIMATE GATHERINGS AT HOME WITH FRIENDS. ELEVATE YOUR TABLESCAPE

A s the upcoming year approaches, a resurgence of in-home dinner parties is eagerly anticipated by trend forecasters. Whether your preference leans towards a stylish patio arrangement or unveiling your cherished china selections, we are here to provide invaluable insights for curating an impeccable evening. Begin by addressing the choice between indoors or outdoors, a decision pivotal in shaping your overall ambiance. Opting for an indoor setting gives you the opportunity to showcase your more refined tableware, serving essentials, and glassware, lending an air of sophistication to your table. If a romantic outdoor evening is more aligned with your vision, consider stoneware, melamine, and acrylic alternatives. These options emulate the

elegance of finer dinnerware while ensuring the durability demanded by outdoor soirées. With the venue decided, it’s time to craft the table. Elevate the atmosphere with a captivating and distinctive tablecloth, adding splashes of color and textures that harmonize with the space. Your dishware selection should be deliberate — integrating patterns, whether in your china or napkins, that harmonize with the tablecloth’s theme. While the tablecloth contributes to the overall aesthetic, the true focal points are your glassware and dishware. Elevate your experience with exceptional glassware choices; embrace creativity through options like Baccarat’s “Party in a Box” and “Wine Therapy,” marrying playfulness with sophistication.
