Previously, peasants gave different gifts for the wedding, but the bull and the cow were considered the most expensive. They were tied with a ribbon and depicted young people. Such a tradition appeared in tsarist Russia a long time ago.
Naturally, a bull and a cow are not needed in the city, so they were replaced with expensive alcohol, but the tradition with lace ribbon remained. The ribbon gradually grew larger and now any champagne at a wedding can look like a work of art using decoupage technique.
Wedding champagne bottles can be made in the style of the bride and groom. For example, you can take the texture of the fabric and the color of the costumes of the newlyweds. Such a bottle will not only decorate the festive table, but can also become a prize in wedding competitions. There are some interesting ways to decorate a bottle. Let's look at them.
Everything shines, everything shines
Straziki, beads, Swarovski stones, pearls - all this perfectly decorates champagne. You can look for an example photo.
The main thing is that all jewelry is well preserved. To do this, it is necessary to properly prepare the glass surface, without fail to remove the label. Take the bottle and put it very carefully in the pan where the hot water is. The bottle should lie there for half an hour. In theory, the label should peel off during this time, and if not, then take a sponge and wash it off.
Then wipe the surface with a dry towel, then cover with paint, spraying in several stages. The layers should be applied evenly and the glass should not look translucent. After the paint dries, a drawing or its outline is applied with a pencil. Next, take rhinestones, beads, glue and tweezers, and glue the jewelry in the planned places. The magnificent decoration of wedding champagne is ready!
Satin luxury
This example of bottle decoration is the simplest. They take ribbons, lace, flowers - real or artificial. It can be made in soft pastel colors, or vice versa - brighter and more festive, for this they use paint. Over a usual ribbon decorate with a magnificent bow or a different decor.
You can also make beautiful costumes for bottles with ribbons. Costumes are removable and not removable. They make a suit for the groom, decorate it with bows, buttons, the bride has a fluffy skirt at the bottom, a veil is also made, which is attached to the cork with a wire.
Tapes are neatly stitched together. Ideally, they should repeat the suits of the newlyweds, but other colors, such as lilac, red and so on, will do. The skirt is usually made of lace.
Master class on creating costumes from ribbons
The following will be required:
- Satin ribbons of suitable colors, you can take blue, red, white, black and so on.
- Glue gun.
- Scissors.
- Various decorations.
- Need a lace or a piece of tulle for a veil.
Manufacturing technology:
- Take a bottle of champagne. We try on a tape to the neck, cut off the desired length.
- We glue the tape, while the left end will be under the right.
- We repeat again, but the bottle tends to expand, so the tape will be a little longer. Attach in the same way. See that the right edge is on top of the left, so it will be more beautiful.
- Thus, we make from 2 to 5 layers, as you like. And you can make the whole bottle this way.
If you want everything to be even more beautiful, then you can take a brocade tape of golden or silver color or another suitable one and stick to these layers. You can leave it that way, or you can stick tapes along the entire height of the bottle, gluing them to the back.
In the latter case, the joint will still be visible, so they take a ribbon whose length is 10 cm, apply glue, pry up the layer below, slip the tape there and stick it on. When glued, they stretch, hiding the joint. Next, attach to the bottle. Another layer of tape is fixed on top.
Then decorate at will with ribbons, lace, beads and so on.
Glass engraving
Wedding champagne bottles are decorated in this way with a conventional drill. However, if you do not own this craft, then it is better to contact the master. If you still want to do this, it is recommended that you first try on ordinary bottles. It should be understood that if engraving is made on glass, the top layer will look like a white stripe. It is then necessary to paint it in any waterproof paint, for example, in gold or silver. The main thing is fantasy. Look, for example, in a photograph.
You can depict the names of the newlyweds, the date of their wedding, flowers, doves, wedding rings and much more.
Engraving on champagne is a great idea, and the most interesting is that this can be used not only for weddings, but also for other holidays.
Polymer clay
This type of decoration is becoming more and more popular. The reason for this is that with the help of polymer clay you can stick anything on the bottle, for example, flowers, a car or even a baby, depending on your wishes. If you practice properly, you can even sculpt an entire island with palm trees to symbolically send the newlyweds there.
Truly, the imagination here is completely limitless: bags of money, yachts, huge houses, everything that comes to mind. If you make your own wedding champagne, the photos will look something like this:
You can take any clay as the basis, but the best is light, then you can see additional elements. Try to make the objects more natural, for example, it is better to mix green and yellow colors for the leaves, the bird can be fashioned from brown clay, and from the white, contour the head and wings.

Photo for memory
Pretty interesting is the picture that is attached to the glass. This photo will be preserved for a long time, raising the mood of the newlyweds and allowing them to remember pleasant moments. Bright nostalgia for the holiday will allow you to plunge into wonderful moments. Photos will definitely remind you how beautiful the couple was on that wonderful day.
To take such a photo, you can make labels with photos of the bride and groom, and then simply stick them on the bottle, or cover the bottle with any paint and stick the pictures on top. Further decorate at will.

Decoupage
The decoupage technique allows you to attach paper with a decorative pattern to any surface, so you get the illusion that it is hand-painted. Wedding champagne "bride and groom" can be decorated using this technique, but for this you need to buy napkins. These are special products made specifically for decoupage. Although, if they are not, anything will suit you: ordinary napkins, postcards, wallpapers, wrapping paper, a magazine, stickers, printouts.
Acrylic paint is applied in any selected color, after which the image is glued. Alcohol is needed in order to get rid of glue residues, as well as for degreasing before applying acrylic. The varnish gently paints the entire surface.
