The most exciting and significant event in life for most people is the wedding day. Therefore, all young people strive to hold it so that everything goes according to the plan and nothing spoils the holiday. Attention is paid to every little thing, attribute and point, because even the slightest hitch or inconsistency can depress the bride and groom on such a day. To prevent this from happening, you should carefully prepare for the triumph, having considered everything to the smallest detail. One of the most important attributes of a wedding is champagne, we will talk about decorating and decorating sparkling bottles.
How to choose a decor style?
Champagne is the most traditional drink for wedding celebrations; any festive table abounds in them. Many wedding competitions and games also use bottles of this drink. This is a good reason to make champagne a little highlight of the holiday. You can turn bottles into a real exclusive with a little imagination and ingenuity. Decorating is possible on your own, which will save money.
There are a lot of design options for champagne bottles. The most common option is to decorate the sparkling wine in the style of “bride and groom”. This "couple" is usually put on the table of the newlyweds. The classic color scheme in this case is black and white. But if the celebration involves the use of some bright color (this is fashionable now), then the bottles can have colorful elements.
It is popular to celebrate weddings using bright colors in addition to the classic colors (white, ivory, champagne, milk).It can be turquoise, blue, orange, purple and even red. The holiday will obviously become bright and unforgettable, but then it is worth considering color accents in everything. Including the decor of wedding attributes.
There are a lot of design options - decoration with volumetric elements, fabrics and lace, pearls, scrapbooking, modeling. A bottled drink painted by hand with acrylic paints looks good.
The most important thing is not to overdo it and create such a decor so that a bottle of champagne does not get out of the general style of the holiday.
Two beautifully designed bottles are usually made and it is not customary to open them during the celebration. They remain a couple for the future: one on the wedding anniversary, the second on the birth of the first child. Here is another reason to make a bottle of champagne beautiful and unusual.
The main rules of decoration are compliance with a given level of solemnity, a combination with the decor, dishes, dresses of the newlyweds. For example, gold and silver engraved bottles will be completely out of place at a wedding in the style of boho or provence. But delicate floral motifs and lace are a great decoration for a classic wedding with aristocratic notes.
If the wedding is held under the auspices of a specific topic, for example, marine, then the decor may include appropriate details. Champagne bottles can be painted under the sailor's vest or decorated with anchors and chains, painted with sea waves, etc.
An autumn wedding in the Russian style implies the presence of autumn fruits and vegetables in the paraphernalia, and the use of a red-red color scheme. Here the bottles can be decorated with stylized painting, autumn apples or leaves.
The main thing in decorating is to show imagination. On the Internet you can find many master classes, which detail the sequence of actions and the necessary materials in the work. The general atmosphere of the holiday is made up of such trifles, so pay due attention to decorating not only the bride and groom, the motorcade and the banquet hall, but also small accessories.
Necessary tools and materials
As a rule, both bottles are made out in a single style so that pairing is manifested (nevertheless this is a wedding, a celebration for two). A simple decoration option is spraying onto spray bottles. In this case, the bottles will look harmonious, where one has a slightly larger size. It can be decorated on top with a small black hat and bow-tie.
A bottle of a smaller size will embody, respectively, the bride: decorate it with a veil or white skirt from matter in 2-3 layers. The skirt can be made from different fabrics:
- organza;
- silk;
- guipure;
- atlas;
- tulle.
As a rule, more trouble and attention falls on the ladies' bottle, since the man is more restrained in the color scheme and in the dress in general. No need to take the decoration of champagne lightly. After all, this attribute of the holiday will be in full view of the guests all evening. It is worth making it unusual by paying attention and making an effort.
To decorate champagne usually does not require a lot of materials, and they are quite inexpensive. So, for work it is necessary to prepare:
- champagne itself;
- glue;
- decorative paper;
- fabric, lace;
- beads, rhinestones, colored pebbles;
- paints and brushes;
- polymer clay;
- threads
- napkins for decoupage and varnish.
Such materials are applicable in those design options that any person can cope with without special skills in decorating. Of course, there are more sophisticated methods of decoration, such as, for example, engraving. Such actions are best entrusted to professionals who know the nuances of such work.
How to decorate the bottles with your own hands?
Hand-decorated bottles of wine should fit into the general tone of the holiday and its style. The options for decorating the drink are simply unthinkable, choose the one that suits you and follow the steps step by step.For those who have a penchant for needlework, a great option is to decorate the bottle with polymer clay. Low cost and your masterpiece will delight all guests!
You will need:
- a couple of bottles of sparkling wine;
- white spray paint;
- ready-made polymer flowers;
- pencil on glass;
- rhinestones, beads for decoration;
- glue, ribbons, lace, scissors.
The work itself does not take much effort and time. First, paint the bottles with white spray paint, then draw the contours of the desired decor. Along the ready-made contour, place polymer flowers, beads, ribbons, rhinestones, bows and fix them with glue. This version of champagne decor is very simple, and the effect is amazing.
An equally interesting, but much rarer option is to decorate champagne with photographs of a married couple. Photos can be placed on bottles instead of labels. Similarly, you can issue a bottle with a sticker with the date of the celebration or wedding, with the names of the bride and groom. Decorating with photographs is a simple process. First print the necessary photos on thin paper, and then apply them to the bottles using the decoupage technique. The contours and the rest of the bottle can be decorated with ribbons and rhinestones.
You can contact the nearest shop where you can help pick up special wedding pictures and logos and print them on paper of the desired format and quality. Champagne with the image of the newlyweds in reality looks magical and intriguing. Be sure to consider this option for the design of the drink and you will definitely not lose.
Champagne in bottles decorated with gold or silver looks rich and elegant. In this design, the drink can retain its original appearance for many years. The choice of patterns and inscriptions suitable for decoration is, of course, a purely personal matter, but it is better to entrust the work of this kind to professionals who are knowledgeable in this matter.
It is not true to believe that such an option would cost a lot of money, not at all. This is somewhat more expensive than the options discussed above, but still it costs within reason.
On your own, you can perform another version of champagne decor - bottle decoration with satin ribbons. To work, you will need:
- slanting inlay;
- glue;
- rhinestones, beads, feathers for additional decor;
- two bottles of champagne.
The meaning of the process is to fix pieces of oblique inlay according to the scheme on the bottle. The scheme depends on the selected picture. It can be bottles in a suit of the bride and groom, bottle-vests for a wedding in a marine style, etc.
It’s better to start the design with the neck of the bottle. The top can be decorated with a black hat or antennae, veil. Add beads and rhinestones as desired. Do not cut the tape into pieces immediately, as their length will change during the course of work depending on the shape of the bottle with the drink.
As you move from top to bottom, the edges of the attached tape hide under the top edge of the next row. The widest bottom of the bottle is also decorated with ribbons, but the tails are fixed on the bottom side. It is not necessary to fasten the tape at an angle, it all depends on your imagination. If somewhere a sloppy strip has turned out or a ribbon has crookedly laid down, then you can fix everything by fixing a decorative element over the satin. This decor option looks good with an addition in the form of feathers of different colors and sizes.
For work, it is worth choosing an adhesive that, after drying, becomes transparent. In addition, carefully dispense the amount of glue during operation, in this case it is better not to dominate than to overdo it. The Moment glue is good in this matter, it holds any materials well and dries quickly.
As you can see, there are really many options for designing champagne. This is only a small part of what you can do yourself. It's up to you to use ready-made ideas and master classes or come up with your own unique design.
Ideas and examples of design
Here are some more interesting options for designing champagne on the table of the newlyweds. The decoupage decoration technique is interesting and simple in execution. She is gaining popularity not only in the wedding theme, but, in general, among needlewomen. The result will exceed all expectations.
Decoupage technique - the process of transferring a paper image to any surface previously treated with varnish or glue based on acrylic. Paper with a picture must be very thin. Napkins are very suitable for such works, there are a great variety of colors (flowers, plant patterns, angels, hearts). You can choose any drawing to your liking.
First you need to thoroughly wash the bottle by removing the label and the remaining glue. Then it is worth degreasing the surface for better adhesion and drying. The next layer is a primer. There are special primers for glass, but you can make your own impregnation by mixing PVA glue with water and acrylic.
The primer is applied in a thin layer on the entire surface of the bottle. This is most conveniently done with a foam sponge or sponge. It is better to apply two coats of soil.
After the soil dries well, proceed with drawing. Here, special glue for decoupage, and ordinary PVA, and an adhesive pencil are suitable. Flatten the wrinkles that occur during paper attachment, otherwise the bottle will end up looking messy. Apply the drawing gradually, preferably from top to bottom. When all the images take their places, fix everything on top with a layer of acrylic varnish (apply several layers, previously drying the previous ones).
You can additionally decorate the bottle with rhinestones, lace bows, and beads. Champagne decorated using decoupage technique always looks gentle, elegant, light and rich.

Decorated bottles in the form of a "couple" in velvet suits look no less solemn. This is a very aristocratic version of the decor, which is perfect for a classic celebration. Choose velvet color to your taste.
To complete the decoration you will need materials:
- velvet with stretch effect;
- threads in color;
- graph paper;
- pencil, scissors;
- beads, rhinestones, sequins for additional decor.
Prepare a pattern of a suitable size and transfer it to velvet. Mark the wrong side. Cut the resulting workpiece along the contours and sew it. Put the suit on the bottle.
Decorate your outfit as you wish. You can add lace for the bottle “bride” in the form of a veil or wedding skirt. A lady's neck can be decorated with a pearl string. You can add a satin tie or bow-tie to the “Groom”. Rhinestones can replace the buttons of a suit.
Before decorating, thoroughly wash the bottles and remove labels and glue, so the materials will better lie on the surface. And do not forget to choose a color scheme to match the general theme of the holiday.
