Table accessories for breakfast and festive meals
A beautifully set table invites you to eat together and take time for one another. You can complement your existing tableware with selected individual pieces: a matching salt and pepper set, a special mug or a small butter dish can already change the impression of a table. At Brillibrum, you will find table accessories for seasoning, serving and enjoying, which you can assemble to suit your habits and the size of your table.
At the breakfast table, a bread basket, egg cup and butter dish can be combined into an inviting arrangement. Salt and pepper shakers remain useful companions at lunch or dinner. For small tables, compact spice shakers are suitable; at a longer table, you can distribute several sets of shakers. This allows your guests to easily reach the seasonings while leaving room for food in the center of the table.
When choosing, first consider what you use regularly and which pieces you are missing for that purpose. Someone who enjoys hosting brunch will set different priorities than someone who is primarily preparing a festive dinner. You can find further ideas for combining pieces in our overarching category Tableware.
Glasses, jugs and decanters for your drinks
A set table includes glasses that match your drinks and the occasion. The selection includes water, juice and whisky glasses, as well as wine glasses and champagne flutes. Crystal glasses with fine silver rims add special accents. With a jug, you can already have water ready on the table; a whisky decanter complements the selection for a sociable evening. A champagne cooler is ideal if you want to serve chilled sparkling wine or champagne at a reception or with a meal.
When assembling, orient yourself towards the drinks you actually offer. For an uncomplicated meal, water glasses and a jug may suffice. For a menu, complement them with matching wine or champagne glasses. Recurring shapes or silver-colored details visually connect different vessels. In addition to the appearance, pay attention to the capacity and the stated dimensions so that the jug and glasses suit your needs.
Bottle coasters and decorative bottle stoppers complement the drinks. Check the diameter of the coasters and the suitability of the stoppers for the respective bottle. Place larger vessels so that they remain easily accessible and do not hinder conversation or the passing of food.
Serving platters and cutlery for special moments of enjoyment
Plating is part of eating together. A serving platter turns individual bites into an inviting selection and gives the main course its own place on the table. In this category, you will find, among other things, a glass serving platter in a pig design and a silver-plated fish platter with tongs. You can use such motifs specifically to match the menu or combine them as a striking individual piece with simple tableware.
For the cheese course, cheese cutlery is ideal; the offered ebony chopsticks with 925 sterling silver details are suitable for sushi. Mother-of-pearl spoons complement the breakfast table, while children's cutlery completes the place of the younger family members. Choose the cutlery based on which dishes you serve and who is sitting at the table. This creates an arrangement that is just as practical in everyday life as it is for an invitation.
For larger platters, consider the available space between the place settings. Also plan space for placing the serving cutlery. If several dishes are served at the same time, additional bowls and trays can complement the arrangement. In this selection, you will find further shapes and materials for your table design. Match the size and intended use of the individual items to your menu.
Designing the set table to suit the occasion
A harmonious table is created through details that repeat. For example, pick up the silver tone of a salt and pepper set in other table accessories or combine clear glass shapes with simple tableware. Patterned plates can be matched with understated additions; on a calm base, an unusual serving platter may stand out more. Choose one eye-catcher and arrange the remaining pieces so that the overall picture remains clear.
For birthdays, holidays, or a meal for two, the design can be complemented with matching table decorations. Candle holders and tealight holders can also accompany your table. Leave enough free space between decorative elements, glasses, and serving dishes. Low arrangements make eye contact easier; on larger tables, you can distribute individual groups along the center.
Pay attention to the material specifications of the respective products when making your selection: silver-plated metal, fine silver details, and components made of 925 sterling silver are finished differently. Cleaning also depends on the individual item and its care instructions. Discover the glasses and table accessories from Brillibrum and assemble your set table so that it suits your home and your shared meals.
