Cheers to The Happy Couple: A Champagne Wedding Theme
Popping bottles in style
In recent years, the gilded fluidity of a champagne hue has emerged as one of the most sought-after wedding palettes. Like the delicious sparkling wine, this soft, luminous shade complements so many wedding styles. Intimate ceremonies and grand, sophisticated affairs all need a glass or two of this iconic liquid.
Celebrity weddings, such as those of Sofia Richie and Hailey Bieber, have embraced champagne tones, setting a trend for their romantic and refined aesthetic.
A celebration of enduring love, champagne is a natural choice for couples looking for a palette that has that little splash of luxury. Its golden glow also pairs beautifully with fine jewellery, whether you’re choosing a champagne engagement ring or selecting wedding rings that echo the soft tones of your day, this inherently elegant colour story ties everything together with a heartfelt toast.
Pour us a glass of diamond jewellery
Diamonds have long been associated with lasting love and commitment. They have become the quintessential symbol of celebration and tend to be a firm staple on each wedding guest list. Their natural sparkle pairs effervescently with the aura of a champagne-themed wedding, adding a sparkling splash of class to the occasion.
Whether incorporated into a bespoke piece or worn as a cherished heirloom, a diamond can even serve as your ‘something borrowed’, carrying with it the sentiment and legacy of those who came before.
Diamond jewellery offers the perfect complement to a champagne colour story, whether through a delicate diamond necklace, sparkling diamond earrings, or a radiant diamond bracelet. Together, these celebratory gemstones add a layer of elegance and sentiment that beautifully echoes the romance of the day.
Champagne Blessings: Such a Lovely Bride
A gown with champagne undertones, lace detailing, or metallic embroidery works beautifully for the theme. For makeup, soft glam could be a great way to go: dewy skin, champagne-toned eyeshadow, a rosy blush, finished with a nude or soft pink lip. Maybe a sprinkle of glitter as well to symbolise the bubbly effect.
Jewellery could be thoughtfully layered to represent the theme. Consider a diamond and pearl earring pairing, or a gemstone pendant nestled above a sweetheart neckline. Choose pieces that shine under candlelight but also photograph gorgeously in natural light. The goal is to achieve a luxurious look from head to toe.
Your Picture in Their Wallet: Groom & Wedding Party
For bridesmaids, dresses in varying shades of champagne, gold and blush create a harmonious concoction. Accessorise with minimalist gemstone earrings or pearl hairpieces that tie in with the bride’s look.
Grooms can embrace the theme with champagne-coloured ties, pocket squares, or vests. Subtle jewellery, like a gemstone tie pin or pearl-accented cufflinks, keeps the look polished and aligned with the overall vision.
Setting the Scene: Decor, Lighting, and Textures
Think silky tablecloths in champagne or ivory, vintage crystal glassware, and gold-rimmed dinnerware. Candles in varying heights and soft florals in blush, cream, and peach tones will enhance the romantic ambience.
Mirrored trays with jewellery displays, velvet ring boxes, and silk ribbons tied around bouquet stems all subtly echo the theme. Keep lighting soft and warm, with an emphasis on natural light or amber-toned bulbs to give the entire space a golden, dreamlike glow.
Photography & Visual Storytelling
Capturing a champagne-themed wedding requires a specific visual approach. Photographers should focus on golden hour shots, reflective surfaces, and close-ups that highlight jewellery details and delicate fabrics. Incorporating styled flat-lays with velvet, lace, and florals helps tell the full champagne story.
