{Surprise Your Guests with Champagne on Tray with Romantic Rose Petals...}

For a romantic {Tuesday May 4, dinner with friends}, I presented our silver tray with Italian Prosecco, in French Baccarat champagne flutes, this way.
On page 41 of the beautiful book from Nouveau Tafelen in Stijl (at Table in Style) you will find this romantic tip for surprising your guests in summer time with a glass of champagne, or Prosecco. Arrange the flutes on a sparkling tray that has been covered by rose petals...
This gorgeous book about Decorations; Recipes; Etiquette and Reception is full of practical and romantic ideas.
Some of those ideas I have put into practice a few times and it gives always a nice surprising effect!
We used our solid silver tray that we had custom made in Kotagede, Indonesia.
For another special occasion, actually when Pieter's Goddaughter Myriam was here.
You can read about her {Goddaughter Myriam, whose 2nd child Lotte, is born in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia}.
And what about a romantic toast with the love of your life?
Crystal fluted champagne glasses are French Baccarat Piccadilly and they are available at Replacements Ltd.

    Sehr schön, ich könnte jetzt auch ein Gläschen genießen, auch wenn es hier in DE (11:24Uhr) etwas früh noch dafür ist....

    Sieht alles sehr einladend aus.

    Hallo Mariette,
    also, wenn das nicht luxuriös ist. Champagner aus Baccarat-Gläsern mit Rosenblättern - Whow.
    Du weißt wirklich, wie man glänzende Momente in Szene setzt.
    Prost...
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

    Good mOrning my dear friend... It's amazing how the simplicity of the small things can change the everyday to a fabulous treat not only for the taste buds but for the eyes. Your tray looks brilliant!!!

    Also, your kitchen make-over looks fabulous. It is a blessing to have such a hands on husband! The contractors have been in providing options for the new kitchen cabinets and I can't wait !!

    Wishing you safe travels ... xo HHL

    Such a beautiful presentation. I love the Baccarat, the silver gallerie tray and the tiny silver bud vase. Great attention to detail.
    What a lovely to greet a favored guest.
    Have a great holiday weekend.
    Love to you,
    Ginger

    Dearest Mariette,

    you are such a romantic woman! What a good idea! We don't need an occasion for such lovely moments, don't we?

    Have a lovely time,
