Nothing says it’s a celebration like the sudden “pop” of a champagne bottle! Add a personalized element to instantly elevate your event. One simple and stylish way to step up your fête: indulge your guests in champagne splits (mini bottles) with your personalized label on each one. Multiple printing services as well as certain venues are happy to create these for you.
Another gorgeous option is to indulge your guests' sweet tooth with a Cotton Candy Champagne Cocktail (almost too beautiful to sip) courtesy of Bon Puf Cotton Candy and Lauren Conrad.

And lastly, focus on creating a sophisticated presentation. We suggest elegant and dapper servers that welcome each of your friends and family members with chic flutes of your favorite Champagne upon arrival. Want to get even more creative? Set up a champagne bell for guests to ring. Afterward, a chic white-gloved hand appears out of a fabric-covered opening in the wall with a glass of champagne! Select these lovely links to see images of this idea and to see one in action.
Cheers!

The hemline has risen—intentionally.
The modern bridal mini has shifted from an after-party alternative to a ceremony-ready statement--the Little White Dress redefined. It has become city-hall appropriate, rehearsal-dinner definitive, and wedding-reception essential. Structured, abbreviated, and deliberate, it signals confidence rather than compromise. The short wedding dress was once a radical departure; today it is simply a sophisticated choice for a white rehearsal dinner dress, a wedding reception second look, and an after party wedding dress. The bridal mini dress honors the heritage of 1960s couture and makes an equally compelling case as the second look.
