Another simple and elegant detail is to place labels on the glasses with the name of each guest, to indicate their place at the table, or if you plan to have a party with many people so that no one loses their glass.
To avoid any inconvenience with the painting of the walls, you can choose to make your tree of ribbons in the window glass.
Candle decorations
Nothing more elegant than white candles, whether in glass jars, clay pots, in a brass bucket, using sand as a support, or simply next to a branch of laurel, pine, or whatever you have on hand to decorate the center of the table.
