Definition: A champagne tower is a fun dramatic display typically used to serve champagne or sparkling wine. It involves stacking glass flutes in a pyramid shape, creating a very striking focal point.
Practical Use + Tips: Normally, the couple or a designated person pours champagne from the top glass, allowing it to cascade down into the glasses below. It’s a unique and fun part of the wedding that makes for great photos!
A few things to consider:
- Make sure you are choosing glassware that is sturdy and holds up well when stacking- coupe glasses tend to work perfectly for this!
- After pouring, decide whether the champagne will be served from the tower for guests to fill their own glasses or if servers will pour it for them.
- Pour the champagne slowly!! Make sure the tower isn’t too high for you to reach. That can end up going south real quick!
