5 Ways To Incorporate Champagne Throughout Your Wedding
This one is for the champagne lovers out there! We all know have seen the champagne toast at a wedding before where the Maid of Honor or Best Man share a speech and a toast to the happy couple during the Reception. That is still a very common practice at weddings but, if you are the kind of couple who really enjoys champagne, then the champagne toast might not be enough for your wedding. So, here are some fun ways to incorporate champagne in other parts of your wedding too!
Champagne Welcome Display or Champagne Tower - This is becoming a common trend at weddings and I am here for it! Welcome your guests into your Ceremony or Cocktail Hour with a beautiful champagne display of pre-filled glasses of chilled bubbly. Whether you place the glasses on a beautiful shelf, stack them nicely in a tower or serve them on a boxwood hedge wall, they can be a fun and welcoming treat as your guests arrive. You can even make them pull double duty and serve as the guest escort cards as well!
Signature Drinks - Of course you can serve champagne straight from the bottle at the bar but, you can also incorporate it into a Signature Cocktail for your guests to enjoy! Mix some orange juice; grapefruit juice; raspberry or strawberry preserves to some champagne to create a delicious signature mimosa or add in a little sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to create a champagne spritzer. Add some peach schnapps, grenadine and some lavender sprigs for a refreshing twist. Pour it over your favorite cotton candy or popsicle for a fun summer treat! The possibilities are endless and you can create a cocktail that represents you! Your guests will love the creativity and getting to learn more about your favorite things!
Cake/Cupcakes/Desserts - Add some bubbly to your desserts! Have your cake baker create a champagne flavored cake, cupcakes or mini desserts. Have fun with it and ask your baker what other flavors will pair nicely with the champagne such as orange, strawberry, raspberry, lemon or peach. Not only will it taste amazing, it will be a fun way to share your love of champagne with your guests!
Favors - Mini champagne bottles or even champagne flavored candies are a fun and bubbly way to say Thank You to your guests for coming! Get the bottle personalized with your names and date or even a picture of the two of you. This way they can keep the party going even after the wedding is over!
Champagne Bottle Guest Book - Have a favorite champagne? Why not turn it into your guest book? Grab some metallic pens and have your friends and family sign the bottle. Then open it on your first anniversary and celebrate together. Then you can keep the bottle as a keepsake forever. A reminder of your loved ones, your favorite bubbly and your special day!
Champagne is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways. So, get creative and make it your own and remember to have fun with it!
Champagne represents celebration so, pop that bubbly and celebrate your love!
Happy Planning!
Love,
