I\"DiAmorDS<\/a> know at this hour, the whole world has had the chance to greet the first day of the New Year, but I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a very happy, creative, productive, and beautiful 2016.<\/p>\n

I am doing so with the help of the\u00a0DiAmore Design Studio<\/a>, which is a team of artists rather than an individual. They hail from the Ukraine and specialize in unique decorated and custom wedding items such as guestbooks, cake toppers, table decorations, and, more than anything really, hand decorated glasses.<\/p>\n

I think it is rather hard to make a sophisticated decorated glass that isn’t over done but this team has that down. This beautiful\u00a0polymer hydrangea works with these champagne glasses, even as large as they are, because their shape simply\u00a0follows the bottom edge of the glasses’ bowl. It would feel obtrusive if it was planted farther up and farther down would cover up the thin delicacy of the stem which keeps the whole look from feeling bulky.<\/p>\n

Beyond the flower, there is this delicate hand-painted design\u00a0with accented pearls. Those seem rather standard with these hand adorned glasses, but the bold flower makes for a\u00a0rather unique decorated champagne glass. I think bold should be the motto this year! I have a few bold ideas of my own I’ll introduce in the coming weeks. What have you in store for the new year?<\/p>\n

So, a toast to you and yours. I hope you are relaxing and enjoying the first day of this brand new year!<\/p>\n
