Hot Trend: Champagne

“Too much of anything is bad, but too much champagne is just right”- Mark Twain

Champagne is the ultimate romantic drink, and because of that is almost always served at weddings, though many people don’t drink the toast because it is either not good quality sparkling wine, or it has been sitting and is flat by the time people get to the toast. In the spirit of celebration on your wedding day, here are some great ideas to jazz up the toast and the service of champagne in general.

Imagine yourself attending a wedding, cocktail hour has ended and you are seated at your table as the the bridal party are doing their introductions, first dance, speeches, etc.  What is on your table?  The same old, boring champagne toast in a champagne flute.  Why not break up tradition and serve guests small individual bottles of champagne? They even come in  pink with a rose champagne. They could be a great addition to a bridal shower or bachelorette party as well!

To go one step further, if pink isn’t your thing, check out this adorable presentation that could be great for a toast, or for a champagne greeting station as guests enter the cocktail hour, or as a midnight toast on new year’s eve!

It’s a good idea to ask your reception venue what brand of champagne they serve and do a taste test- you may want to upgrade your champagne for the entire wedding, or maybe just a few special tables like the bridal party and parents. Dom Perignon makes a light up bottle that is really cool and makes a great presentation in ice buckets for those special tables.  (This also makes a great gift idea from a parent or bridal attendant)

If you want to leave your guests in a celebratory mood- why not give mini champagne bottles as a favor with these cute chevron straws?  They come in many different colors and can match your theme or color scheme!
