Discover how to make the most of your magnificent Cristal d’Arques Paris glasses by mastering the art of setting an elegant and refined table. We offer you tips and tricks to embellish your table and impress your guests with innovative and creative table setting and napkin folding techniques.

Matching your table settings:

To make the most of your Cristal d’Arques Paris glasses, it’s crucial to establish harmony between the different elements of your table. Choose a tablecloth, plates and cutlery to match the colours and style of your glassware. Choose sober, refined colours such as white, black or silver, which will highlight the brilliance and transparency of your glasses.

Position your glasses precisely:

For a successful table setting, it’s important to follow certain rules when it comes to arranging your glasses. Place them at the top right-hand side of the plate, in line with the edge of the table or the knife. Make sure you leave enough space between each glass to avoid mix-ups and make serving easier. Our Ultime range, with its complete collection of glasses, will allow you to set your table with a flute, a stemmed glass or several if you want to offer different wines to your guests and the water glass.

Vary the heights:

To add a touch of originality and dynamism to your table, don’t hesitate to play with the heights of the glasses. Arrange the taller water glasses behind the shorter wine glasses to create an effect of depth and highlight the finesse of your glasses.

Illuminate your table:

To enhance your glasses and create a warm, friendly atmosphere, opt for subdued lighting and candles carefully placed on your table. The reflections of the flames in the glasses will add a touch of magic and elegance to your table setting.

Creative napkin folding techniques:

To perfect your table setting and make the most of your Cristal d’Arques Paris glasses, give free rein to your creativity by creating original and elegant napkin folds. Here are a few suggestions to inspire you

The glass holder: Fold your napkin into the shape of a glass holder to support and show off your glass. This simple, elegant fold will add a touch of originality to your table.
The flower: Fold your napkin into the shape of a flower to add a touch of colour and fun to your table. Place the flower next to the glass or slip it delicately inside for the most refined effect.
The bow tie: For a chic and trendy table, opt for a folded bow tie. Place it under the glass or in front of the plate for a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Making the most of your glasses means above all creating harmony between the different elements of your table and paying attention to detail. By following our advice and tips, you are now ready to enhance your table and dazzle your guests at your next dinners and receptions. Don’t forget that the art of the table is a true reflection of your personality and your taste for beautiful things. So let your creativity do the talking and treat your guests to an exceptional experience.
