A bright setting for bright conversations, family get-togethers and special occasions. A fresh take for spring shared moments is here.
Our Ashcombe glasses are brilliant all-rounders, with decorative low stems that make them ideal for wine – whether it’s red, white or rosé – or as water glasses.
Keep bud-vase displays effortless with offcuts of a larger bunch, or just a simple sprig of foliage. Arrange vases in odd-numbered, mismatched groups, or in a long row down a dinner-party table.
Sharing platters are one of our favourite ways to keep spring dining casual and easy-going. Think charcuterie and cheese boards, and small, tapas-style plates for each person.
Simple touches, delicate decorations and seasonable blooms are all you need to create an easy-but-effective setting.
Laying a table is like wrapping a present – it adds a preliminary layer of ceremony to a meal, before your guests even sit down. Even if you’re only serving one course (or main and pudding), place a starter plate on top of the dinner plate when you set the table, to create a neat pile with the placemat. It builds a sense of occasion.

A tablecloth is negotiable – this setting would look just as lovely, and slightly more casual, laid directly onto the table. Napkins, on the other hand, are essential. A design with delicate, embroidered detail means you do not have to worry about styling them – simply fold to show the embroidery, for maximum impact.

To keep the setting casual and intimate, use tall, slender candles and low floral displays, so your guests can easily see each other, and passing plates around is easy. We’ve hand-tied these small, short-stem posies and placed them in breakfast bowls that match the crockery.

For spring celebrations and Easter feasts, we love a little novelty touch – but it’s easy to keep it elegant and grown-up. Choose all-glass decorations, which you can either hang from branches arranged in a tall vase on the mantelpiece, or simply place one on each setting for a playful touch.
