We love any excuse to celebrate with wonderful friends and a nice bottle of champagne so today we are sharing some champagne inspiration for the conscious couple!
Whether at your wedding reception, or at an engagement party, a champagne station is an amazing way to celebrate and create a fun atmosphere for your guests. We absolutely adore how our very own Beth Helmstetter designed a champagne station for an engagement party for Laura Hooper Calligraphy!
As you’re planning the drink menu for your wedding, a champagne bar is a fun twist on a traditional bar. You beautifully incorporate delicious bubbly and fruit juices at a mix-it-yourself station that is sure to wow your guests!
As you think about styling your champagne station, consider incorporating beautifully calligraphed signage and elegant barware that matches the aesthetic of your wedding!
For a little extra glam we love ONEHOPE’s Gold Glitter Edition Brut Sparkling Wine! Not only does this delicious Brut serve as added decor, each bottle also provides 15 meals for children in need. We love this wonderful way to do good as you celebrate!
If you want to get even more creative with your champagne bar, we love this ONEHOPE Wine’s Fig & Rosemary Sparkling Cocktail recipe from OPRAH magazine and these Martha Stewart Champagne Cocktail recipes!
Following your reception, all the empty bottles of bubbly would traditionally just end up in the trash or recycling. However, we love what Rewined Candles is doing to reuse old champagne bottles. This conscious company takes old champagne bottles and creates wonderfully aromatic candles! After first discovering these adorable candles in a trendy boutique in Charleston, SC I fell in love their Mimosa scent. We love the idea of giving these candles, which come in a variety of scents, to newlyweds to furnish their new homes!
You can find more details from the engagement party of Laura Hooper Calligraphy, designed by Beth Helmstetter, over on Style Me Pretty!
