Step one: Determine how many glasses you’ll need for your champagne tower<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.waterfordcrystal.com.au\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/bridal_31-promo-component.jpg” alt=”Waterford ” title_text=”bridal_31-promo–component” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The number of glasses you’ll need depends on how many tiers you desire (or the size of the tower). Many soon-to-be-married couples base this on the number of guests expected to attend, but there are no set rules; the size of your champagne tower is completely up to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you’ve decided how many tiers you’d like, you can determine how many champagne glasses you need for your tower using a bit of light math. There’s one glass on the top (1×1=1) and four on the next tier (2×2=4). From here, keep adding levels that are one number bigger, multiplied by itself (3×3, 4×4, 5×5), until you reach the tier height you desire. Next, add up the number of glasses for each level to determine how many glasses you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step three: Build your tower<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.waterfordcrystal.com.au\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/bridal_29-promo-component.jpg” alt=”Waterford_Weddings_2022_Lifestyle_13_Landscape” title_text=”bridal_29-promo–component” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

To build your champagne tower, start by arranging your bottom tier on a sturdy table in your desired location. Wedding champagne towers are built by creating squares that get smaller as the tower rises, eventually leaving a single glass to sit on top.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When placing your levels, each glass should touch its surrounding glasses and form symmetrical diamonds of negative space between each glass. Glasses on the next tier are placed directly in the center, where four lower glasses come together to create this diamond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To finish your tower, continue placing levels until you have just one diamond and one glass<\/span><\/p>\n

Step four: Have your moment<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.waterfordcrystal.com.au\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/bridal_26-promo-component.jpg” alt=”bridal_26-promo–component” title_text=”bridal_26-promo–component” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

It’s finally time to have your moment. When pouring the champagne, ensure you pour directly over the top of the first glass. Pour slowly to create a steady stream that’s beautiful to watch and not too forceful. Continue until all cups are filled, but if they’re not entirely full, it’s completely okay to top them off individually.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A champagne tower is all about the visual spectacle, so you’ll need to fill your tower while wedding guests are watching and have plenty of champagne to fill each glass.<\/span><\/p>\n
