Champagne is a variety of sparkling white wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France. Often considered to be extremely sophisticated and romantic, Champagne is perfect for incorporating into your wedding theme. From your table cloths and napkins to your wedding favors and bridal bouquet, there are a number of different ways that you can incorporate this elegant beverage into your wedding to showcase your theme.
Champagne-Colored Decorations
Champagne is a warm shade of off-white that is elegant, sleek and appropriate for a formal or semi-formal wedding. Decorate your wedding reception venue with champagne-colored table cloths, napkins, chair covers, fabric banners and aisle runners. Use champagne as the base color of your decor and then incorporate one or two accent colors to bring out the warmth of the champagne. Some colors that coordinate well with champagne white include pale pink, deep purple, red, dark green and gold.
Champagne Bridal Bouquet and Boutonnieres
Walk down the aisle with a beautiful bouquet that shows off your Champagne theme. When ordering the flowers for your bouquet, choose flowers that are off white in color such as cream roses or lilies. Have the bouquet tied off with a champagne-colored ribbon. To incorporate your theme into the groom’ and groomsmen’s boutonnieres, choose off-white flowers and have them tied with a slim champagne-colored ribbon to match your bouquet.
Champagne Centerpieces
Centerpieces are the most important part of your reception table decor, so the centerpieces at your Champagne-themed wedding should reflect your wedding theme. For a champagne-themed wedding, a simple centerpiece combining crystal or glass champagne flutes and candles is one idea to consider. Leave the flutes empty until just before the toasts begin, then have the catering staff at your venue fill the flutes for your guests. This will prevent the Champagne from losing carbonation prior to drinking. Choose candles that match your wedding accent colors. For a more creative Champagne-themed centerpiece, fill several champagne flutes with champagne-colored gel candle wax as your centerpiece. The bubbles in the gel wax will give the centerpiece a realistic look. Scatter flower petals or glitter across the tabletop to add extra detail and decoration around your centerpiece.
Champagne Wedding Cake
Wedding cake bakeries are able to create cake batter, fondant or frosting that contains Champagne as a main ingredient. When ordering your wedding cake, have your baker create a Champagne-flavored cake for your wedding. A Champagne-flavored cake will incorporate your wedding theme into the menu and will complement the flavor of the Champagne served to guests during toasts at dessert.
Custom Champagne Bottles
Use custom labels to decorate the Champagne bottles at your wedding reception. Create custom labels at home using your computer or order them from a professional stationer. Include your names, the date of your wedding and a short poem, monogram or photograph of you and your spouse on each label. Custom labels will fit your theme perfectly and will also turn each bottle of Champagne into a sentimental keepsake to treasure forever.
Champagne Wedding Favors
Wedding favors are used to thank guests for celebrating your new union and attending your wedding. For a Champagne-themed wedding, consider bottles of bubbles shaped like bottles of Champagne or candles inside of Champagne flutes.
