A mix of retro and modern is in.  So when it comes to making a little update to your everyday plates and cups, we like the idea of mixing in old and new — even a mix at the same table setting, like taking clear glassware and adding pops of color like from vintage-looking green glassware sets.

We’ve found some affordable blue and green glassware for you, with several sets kid friendly (aka won’t break when it falls to the floor).

Take a look at the fun designs in these tumbler sets ⬇

Target blue and green glasses

Stephen Cardino, VP and Fashion Director for Home at Macy’s says “Blue is a hot hue this year and there are many ways to apply the color of the sea to your summer tablescape. For a subtle look, try soft blue dinnerware layered with neutral table linens and flatware. To achieve a bolder statement, choose plates and serveware in indigo or with patterns of dots and stripes. Glassware in a variety of blues and greens can also enhance your table.”  The 1950’s had a lot of blue and green in its glassware, with patterns and swirls.

Mix up one of these affordable new sets with what you already have in your cupboard — no need to be “matchy-matchy.”

  1. Artland Spa Highball Glass Set of 4 – Aqua (20 oz) — $29.99 — lead-free glassware has a beautiful hand-crafted design with the aqua color.

  2. Artland Ripple Highball Set of 4 – Green (20 oz) — $34.99 — dishwasher safe bright green glassware in with a wavy styling

  3. Threshold™ Azura Tumbler Set of 8 – Blue  — $39.99 — shatter-proof plastic cups are great for tailgating or camping and a must-have in homes with pets or small children. And best of all, with their eye-catching criss-cross pattern, no one will ever know these plastic cocktail glasses aren’t the real thing.

  4. EV Summer Set of 8 Tumbler Glasses with Dots Texture – Turquoise (15 oz) — $15.99 — this is made of plastic but looks like glassware.  So it won’t break as easily.  Great value for a set of 8 with a textured dot pattern.

  5. Room Essentials Bubble Tumbler Set of 8 – Blue — $13.99 — Made of transparent plastic, these drinking glasses have tiny bubbles for visual texture.  Fun and kid-friendly.

Here’s some simple seasonal punch recipes for your new tumblers.
