Toasting glasses

On friday while playing with Ailsa I accidentally broke both of the toasting glasses from our wedding, which was incredibly upsetting. The toasting glasses that we had were Orrefors Intermezzo Blue Champagne flutes. 

This got me thinking that we could use a new set of glassware, as we never registered for them for our wedding. I ended up ordering the "Charlotte Amalie" glassware from Holmegaard. These glasses are timeless and can work for a casual dinner on the balcony on a warm summer night or for a dinner party with friends. 

There is a story behind the design of the glassware as well, and I would like to think that most designs are developed by an inspiration and come with a story. "Such is the case with Charlotte Amalie. Named after his wife, Charlotte Amalie’s feminine silhouette salutes Per Lütken’s passion for creating soft lines from the glowing glass mass."

I can't wait to use these with friends next week.
