I Want to Have a "Champagne Tower" at My Wedding ♡

Having a champagne tower at a wedding is a worldwide trend right now.

Many brides in Paris, the UK, the USA, and Korea are doing it, and it looks so beautiful.

The movement is engaging, the champagne sparkles, and it’s adorable to float flowers in the champagne.

➡ This article aggregates predictions from wedding planners around the world for wedding trends in 2024, and the champagne tower was mentioned multiple times as a contender!

There must be many brides in Japan who want to do it, but when they ask their planners to set up a champagne tower, many venues lack the necessary glasses and cannot accommodate it.

If the venue doesn't have the equipment, you'll need to prepare it yourself, but it can be confusing to figure out how many and what to prepare...!

(For a champagne tower, normally, instead of the standard champagne flute, you'll use broad-based coupe glasses.)

So!

This article will explain the preparations needed for couples who want to have a champagne tower at their wedding 🥂

What Are the 【Number of Tiers】【Number of Glasses】 for the Champagne Tower?

When setting up a champagne tower, the first thing to consider is the 【number of tiers】, and then calculate and prepare the necessary number of glasses.

In a reasonably spacious banquet hall, around 4 to 6 tiers should be just right.

For photo purposes, smaller towers might be a good option too.

Even with the same number of tiers, the shape, height, and arrangement of the champagne glasses will change the tower's size and overall impression.

＜Number of Tiers and Number of Glasses＞

The number of glasses for a champagne tower, arranged in a square or triangular shape at the bottom and evenly stacked above, is based on the numbers referenced in this table.

Please use it as a reference.*

There are also other arrangements!

Arrange them in an oval shape for two tiers (the top is for the couple with two glasses♡)

Arrange them in an oval shape with a wider base,

A large seven-tier tower with two glasses at the top,

You can also go for a cubic arrangement instead of a tower!

There are many different ways to arrange them freely.♡

How Many Bottles of Champagne Are Needed to Fill the Tower?

Depending on the size of the glasses, one bottle of champagne can fill about 6 to 9 glasses.

To avoid running short, it’s best to estimate generously, assuming each bottle will fill 6 glasses.

＜Example＞ If you are using 55 glasses for a 5-tier tower

55 divided by 6 = 9 bottles

For 55 glasses in a 5-tier tower, you should prepare 9 bottles of champagne 🥂

What If I Want to Prepare the Glasses Myself?

If you're going for 3 tiers (at least 10 glasses), it might be better to purchase the glasses instead of renting them.

They will become cherished mementos from your champagne tower. ♡

The glasses for the champagne tower can be standard champagne glasses (often using the coupe type, which has a wider mouth), but if they fall and break, it's a hassle. So, choosing glasses made from a shatterproof material instead of glass can be a safe option (recommended for peace of mind).

These glasses are made from Tritan, a shatterproof material. They are designed specifically for champagne towers, featuring grooves on the underside of the base to make them less likely to topple.＊

At 4,061 yen for 5 glasses, buying 2 sets will allow you to create a champagne tower.

Don’t forget to prepare a tray underneath to catch any spillover from the champagne.＊
