Coloured glasses can give a plain table its whole palette. Green glass is particularly pleasing where daylight passes through it, making a changing patch of colour on the surface. Keep the rest of the place simple enough to notice that small movement.

Choose glasses designed for the drinks you plan to serve, with stable bases and comfortable rims. Check their care instructions and inspect for chips. A vessel that feels awkward to hold does not become more useful because its colour is beautiful.

Try white plates and oatmeal napkins on a darker table. The glasses will look different beside a pale cloth, so rehearse in the actual setting rather than choosing from a screen. You can mix clear and green glasses if that makes better use of what you own.

Leave a clear landing for each drink. A little distance from a plate is easier to manage than a perfect row squeezed along its edge. The group earns its place through comfortable use, with the green offering a brief change in the light.
