Champagne Towers: The Statement Piece Your Celebration Needs
What Type of Glass is Used for a Champagne Tower?
The best glass for a champagne tower? The coupe glass. Its wide, shallow bowl and short stem make it ideal for stacking, and it’s what gives the tower its iconic silhouette. We offer both a standard coupe glass and the vintage-inspired Gatsby Coupe Glass, perfect for events that call for a little extra glamour.
Not only do coupe glasses create a more stable stack, but they also photograph beautifully, catching the light and reflecting the glow of surrounding candles or chandeliers.
How to Make a Champagne Tower
Building a champagne tower might seem like a high-risk balancing act, but it’s easier than it looks when done correctly. Here's a basic step-by-step:
- Start with a sturdy base—a flat, level surface like a Wood Resin Cocktail Table or Mahogany Bar.
- Create a square base layer with evenly spaced coupe glasses.
- Stack the next layer in the center of four glasses, continuing up until you reach the top.
- Pour slowly into the top glass and let the champagne cascade down.
We always recommend using sparkling wine (not vintage champagne) for the pour. It’s more cost-effective and still delivers the same visual effect.

Where to Feature Your Champagne Tower
One of the best things about champagne towers is their versatility. Here are a few ways to integrate them into different events:
- Weddings: Add glamour to your reception or make it your grand entrance moment.
- Birthdays & Anniversaries: Celebrate milestones with a toast-worthy focal point.
- Corporate Events: Use it as a striking way to welcome guests or kick off a product launch.
- Holiday Parties: Nothing says New Year’s Eve like a tower of bubbly at midnight.
Place it center stage or use it as a secondary wow moment. For extra impact, style your tower on top of a statement linen. Consider our Blue French Toile for something classic or the Hunter Velvet Tablecloth for a moodier, luxe vibe.
Ways to Elevate Your Display
Want to make your champagne tower even more memorable? Think beyond the bubbles:
- Layer in lighting: Set your tower under a chandelier or spotlight to make it sparkle.
- Add floral or fruit garnishes: Mini citrus slices or edible flowers add color and charm.
- Use mixed glassware: Combine Gatsby and standard coupes for a collected, vintage feel.
- Surround it with bar decor: Place on top of a Mahogany Bar with lush garlands or candles.
Unique Alternatives to the Champagne Tower
Not a fan of bubbly? Or just looking for a fresh take? Here are a few clever swaps for your statement pour:
- Signature Cocktail Tower: Serve your favorite drink in coupes for a personalized twist.
- Affogato Bar: Scoop vanilla gelato and pour espresso instead of champagne—dessert and drama in one.
- Mini Charcuterie Towers: Layer small bites on tiered glassware for a savory spin.
Each of these ideas brings the same show-stopping energy with a personalized twist.
