Need Stemware Ideas

[Cassidy's Mom]

These are just $6.95 each, and have a very simple, classic look:



Oregon Wine Glasses in Wine Glasses | Crate and Barrel

I was just looking at those.

I don't have china or stemware but I second this. After we got married my MIL kept giving us more sets of our flatware for like two years. Also we broke some of our glasses and I was able to go to the store and get individual replacements. My mom liked the ones I picked out so I eventually got the same set for her. I got married in 2006 and they still have those glasses and my pitcher on the web site ("Impressions").

You can't go wrong with Riedel.

[Cassidy's Mom]

Lies, we have the Impressions glasses too!

Sunflowers, Riedel stemware is great, but it can be very pricey! Their lower end Ouverture line isn't too bad though, here's a 12 piece set at Williams Sonoma on sale for around $80: Riedel Ouverture Gift Set | Williams-Sonoma

I get most of my stuff from Pottery Barn,but have also received glasses from Schott Zwiesel,as gifts. Very pretty ,but I wouldn't pay what they want for them personally.

[jaggirl47]

Yeah, I do not want something to break the bank, just something nice, simple, and elegant.

I do like Williams and Sonoma. I have a gift card

Don't look art me, my stemware came from a garage sale. $2 for a st of 8.
I should drag one down and snap a photo when I get home....

Not sure if you have these stores down there, but Bowring I could pretty much live in that store. I even take a 2 year old in there, though I don't think I exhale until I am outside LOL.
We have the orchestra line for our every day, my good stemware is a mix of different styles with some hand-blown, some very, very large red wine glasses and some hand-etched champagne glasses. I don't do simple, my mother swears they switched babies at the hospital and gave her a Gypsy child, somewhere her real daughter is out there trying to do simple white linens in a world of bright, loud colours

LOL I re-gifted mine! It wasn't on our wedding registry since my DH cannot drink b/c of his epilepsy meds and our idea of a fun evening is more like pizza and beer for those who can drink. My "kitchen" is not even a real room, just an alcove at the back of the house so we do not have space to store fancy stuff we have no use for. We do a white elephant exchange every Christmas at work and last year I grabbed the unopened set of stemware. Once we got to the round where you unwrap the gifts it was instantly stolen/traded out of the game!
