A Floral Champagne “Coupé” Tower

February 9, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Champagne flutes are a more practical choice, but coupés are sexier. They were modeled after Marie Antoinette’s {breasts}. They are the ideal size and shape to deliver pleasure – Timothy from Emily in Paris

… well that is the rumor, and the fact that rumor still persists, says something about the perceived sexiness of the champagne coupe. After all it was the preferred choice of ‘20s flappers and Hollywood leading ladies, it is no wonder Madame de Pompadour said, “Champagne is the only drink that leaves a woman still beautiful after drinking it.” I wouldn’t say it is the only drink that leaves a women beautiful, any drink a woman loves will do that. And while Louis XV’s chief mistress might know a thing about passion, I think it really comes down to the confidence one feels savoring a drink, and that starts with the glass.

Even the history of the coupé is as intriguing as its design.  

I’ve had as long of a love affair with the coupe style champagne glass as I’ve had all things from another era and French. It really is the perfect glass for any drink whether sparkling champagne, a refreshing kir royale or neat whiskey. There is something dainty and romantic, but strong and sexy when one uses a coupe. Yes, I am still talking about drinking glasses … It is quite funny how the simplest of items are often our biggest sources of inspiration and delight. I for one am utterly smitten with la coupé and have long wanted to create something special beyond what we expect of it.

I love a champagne tower, I love that we’re seeing more of them at weddings, I love the fun darling photos — are they the most practical, no, but pretty coupes on full display, of course I love. 

Pour l’amour du champagne coupé … I give you the — Floral Champagne Tower!!!

It’s a beauty I’ve been envisioning for some time and dare I say, I’m even more in love than I imagined! Is a tower of champagne coupes softly cascading with florals necessary or the most realistic event decor, no I know it is not … but goodness does it make my heart flutter!

With visions of a spring garden blooming, a roaring champagne filled French soiree with sultry jazz and whimsical pop tunes — I intended to create something sweet, romantic, sexy and playful … un petit plaisir {a little pleasure} befitting any love affair …

We are naturally craving color, no matter how we approach it. Surprisingly for me, I have been envisioning a delicate soft pairing of minty teals and sea greens along with vibrant reds, plums and pretty pinks; a deconstructed interpretation of this year’s color “Viva Magenta”. Reds in particular, are not colors I naturally gravitate towards, but there was something so captivating and enticing about blending these contrasting colors. Blues, Greens, Reds are strong colors on their own, to blend them seems unthinkable, but when colors are broken down into the array of different hues and subtle tones they inhibit — that’s where we tap into magic! The sea-like greens are calming and sweet, the reds and violets romantic and passionate.

The rose, in particular the red rose, is the symbol of love and passion, but in this piece I wanted the natural whimsy and flow of wildflower-like blooms such as Ranunculus, Butterfly and Jasmine, to evoke that carefree mystery of falling in love …

Jasmine delicately hugging the curves of each coupe with delight just as champagne’s fizz, just as the intrigue of having a romantic love affair with a delicate bloom …

When working with coupe glasses to create florals, a hand just as delicate is needed, and so are the flowers selected. Because these glasses require less water and smaller flower frogs, flowers cannot be too bulky or heavy. Ranunculus, clematis, delicate vines, wildflowers, even dried stems would be great — any flower that is lightweight is perfect for a floral tower. In fact, the often leftover foliage or blooms too short to use elsewhere, are the perfect pieces to bring a Floral Champagne Coupe Tower to life!

Hope you are inspired, and enjoy this styling as much as I have had creating it.

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
