Mastering The Champagne Tower Moment At Your Wedding
A champagne tower is one of those timeless, celebratory moments that just add a touch of elegance and fun to your wedding day. But to be sure it goes smoothly (and looks as stunning as you imagine) here are a few key tips to keep in mind:
1. Prepped but Unannounced
While a champagne tower can be a spectacular photo opportunity, it doesn’t have to be a big, announced event in front of all your guests. Instead, consider making it an intimate, impromptu moment just for you and your partner, or a select group of loved ones. However, the key is to have everything set up in advance. The glassware should be arranged, the table should be sturdy, and the champagne should be properly chilled. Trying to set it up in the moment can lead to unnecessary stress with glassware and timing!

2. Top It Off with Champagne
One of the biggest mistakes couples make is underestimating how much champagne is needed for a tower. A helpful tip is to pre-pour the bottom layers before the big moment. This not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of overflow or accidents. Then, when it's time for the grand pour, pop a fresh bottle and let the magic happen!
3. Be Playful and Enjoy the Moment
Your champagne tower is meant to be fun, not a high-pressure moment. Things might not go exactly as planned, and that’s okay! Laugh, enjoy, and embrace whatever happens. Whether it’s a perfect cascading pour or a bubbly surprise, the joy and excitement of the moment will make for amazing memories (and mishap or not – stunning photos!)
A champagne tower is more than just a beautiful tradition — it’s a chance to celebrate with style, spontaneity, and a little bit of sparkle. So prep ahead, pour with confidence, and most importantly, enjoy every second of it!
