Champagne towers are more than just a cascade of delicious bubbly; they’re a spectacular celebratory statement piece for your wedding reception. Not only do they create a memorable photo opportunity, but they also double as stunning reception decor. At Southern Events, we’re excited to share design tips, including our favorite glassware selections, to help you create a truly unforgettable bubbly display. Or, if you aren’t head over heels for wedding champagne towers, check out a few equally impressive grab-and-go beverage areas.

Toast Worthy Glassware

The key to a stylish champagne tower lies in your choice of glassware. Select a champagne glass rental that complements the aesthetic of your wedding, whether it’s sleek and sophisticated or bold and eclectic. Our Gatsby Coupe Glassware is a modern choice that offers a timeless look yet features a solid base that is perfect for stacking. Matching the glassware to your overall decor ensures a cohesive and elegant presentation.

Eye-Catching Table Linens

Elevate your champagne tower with luxurious table linens that add an extra wow factor. Consider using materials that lend a touch of opulence, like a rich Grape Velvet or romantic Blush Matte Satin. Or opt for vibrant colors and prints to make a bold statement, such as the Four Seasons Floral. The right table linens not only enhance the visual appeal of your champagne display but also tie together the overall look of your reception space.

Pick a Bold Beverage

If champagne isn’t your drink of choice or if you’re looking to add a unique twist to your tower, consider opting for a colorful beverage. Infuse your tower with cocktails or mocktails that match your wedding theme, color palette, or even the season. Whether that means incorporating a bright mixer, colorful flowers, or edible glitter. This alternative not only adds variety but also surprises and delights your guests with unexpected flavors and hues.

Other Popular Drink Displays

For couples considering alternatives to a traditional champagne tower, Southern Events offers creative solutions. Our White 6 Tier Serving Tower provides stability while maintaining the classic tower shape, perfect for those who prefer a more secure display. Alternatively, transform our Market Cart or Bar into an elegant drink station with beverage dispensers, allowing guests to enjoy batch cocktails or refreshing mocktails at their leisure. For a simpler approach, showcase signature cocktails on a Bookcase display to streamline bar service and reduce crowding.

Winter Luxe 

This style offers an elegant look that nods to the season while maintaining a timeless appeal! To begin, arrange long banquet tables for an intimate look, elevated with sophisticated acrylic seating. Or you can infuse a touch of luxury with Gold Chiavari Chairs. These look stunning complemented by gold accent china – stack the Gold Rim Glass Chargers and Vera Floral China with Austin Gold Flatware. You can also enhance the tablescapes with lush greenery and velvet napkins in the shade Magnolia.

For an equally stunning cocktail hour, feature an ornate Christmas tree, flanked by Gold Bamboo Arm Chairs or the Fern Velvet Sofa. Just don’t forget accent tables! Finally, delight your guests with classic cocktails served in our Smoke Beaded Tumblers or sleek stemless champagne flutes.

Modern Moody

Are you dreaming of a sophisticated black and white formal winter wedding? We recommend an indoor reception with minimalist acrylic seating. For example, the Acrylic Ghost Armless or Acrylic Carrigan Side Chairs. What’s more, the latter stars an intricate, almost ice-like back! At the reception, create a cozy atmosphere with softly lit tables adorned with black tablecloths, crisp white napkins, and china. Such as our White Coupe China or Carerra Marble Dinner Plates.

Moving on to the cocktail hour, adorn bistro tables with the striking black and white Nova Linens. As well as Acrylic Casper Square Back Barstools. And don’t forget the pièce de résistance! To be specific, espresso martinis with whipped cream, elegantly served in our Gatsby Coupe Glasses.

Beautiful Hues of Blue

If you favor bright and airy celebrations, incorporate beautiful shades of blue into your winter wedding. Begin with White Chiavari Chairs at your ceremony for a sophisticated look. In the same fashion, set round tables with Silver Leaf linens to infuse a hint of radiance and complete the vision with silver-accented china. For instance, our Silver Rim Glass or Belmont Beaded Chargers and Abby Flatware. Then, inject pops of blue into the design using our Heritage Light Blue or London Fog Velvet linens – fan favorites! Lastly, craft an attention-grabbing cocktail area, featuring our Pearce Modular Lounge.

Classically Festive

Embrace the classic charm of Christmas with a warm and festive winter wedding theme! Elevate your indoor ceremony by using Cross Back Wood Chairs adorned with lush greenery. For the reception, opt for long banquet tables that encourage lively conversations. Drape them with crisp white linens and napkins in bright red and deep greens – quintessential colors of the season. Next, add a touch of luxury when you feature our Gold Round Lacquer Chargers topped with Athena China and Fresno Flatware.

For your cocktail hour, or if you are planning table service, consider our contemporary Cybil or romantic Monaco Glassware. If you want a cozy lounge area to match, we recommend the Bennett Leather Sofa and a pair of Everly Chairs.

Luxe But Sustainable

Luxe events aren’t going anywhere but we’re seeing an increased interest in sustainability. There are multiple ways to host a sustainable event via rentals. The first is reusable serving ware, including china, flatware, glassware, and linens. Rentals are an easy and beautiful way to reduce the waste produced by your event.

In terms of styling, expect lots of lush plants & greenery. Potted plants are especially beautiful and perfect for aisle decor and table centerpieces.  The same goes for dried plants, which lend lots of texture. Pampas grass in particular is trending, as it easily adds volume and height. Expect to see an increasing amount of dried flower bouquets and arrangements.

This emerald, cream & gold tablescape features our Gold Rim Glass Charger, Alabaster Earthenware, Gold Austin Flatware, Fern Velvet Linens, Colored Glassware & Pure Glassware.

All Out Events

Go big or go home right? One 2021 trend is events that are memorable, not necessarily in size but in the details. Diva Boho-themed events are a great example. Think of bold & intricate geometric patterns, and voluminous flowers or other organic arrangements. Metallics are also here to stay, as they are a quick way to add some sparkle and shine to an event. At this type of event, you can tell that every thoughtful detail was well planned and executed.

This bright textured tablescape was created using our Medallion Gold Glass Chargers, Onyx Earthenware, Austin Flatware & Audrey Gold Rim Glassware.

A Focus on Sentimentality

People are gravitating towards heirlooms and the texture of various things that draw them to the past – we expect this event trend to only get bigger in 2021. Not necessarily a boho theme, but colors and textures that incite a sense of nostalgia. So sustainable handmade pieces lend texture, such as clay, jute, and wicker decor. This trend also applies to attire, in the form of heirloom jewelry, clothing, and accessories. For weddings, think dresses with intricate old-school embroidery in an ivory or cream color. One great example is celestial-inspired events, where texture and vintage or retro items are easy to incorporate into the design.

Recreate this romantic neutral design with our Driftwood Velvet Napkins, Artisan China, Cybil Glassware, & Como Flatware.
