Floral Inspiration :: The Floral Champagne 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!

“the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled th “the sun took a step back, 
the leaves lulled themselves to sleep
& Autumn was awakened...” — Raquel Franco

Flow into Autumn & set the table with warm neutrals that complement the season’s rich hues. Earthy brown glassware to soft sand-colored linens & candlelight. Layer in dried stems, rocks, nuts or gourds to celebrate the abundance of nature🍂

Set the table for 10, for 2 but especially for you Set the table for 10, for 2 but especially for you! We’re welcoming the warm brisk embrace of Autumn. What better time to light some candles & have ourselves an intimate gathering. Intentionally setting a table is special, never needing to be fussy — effortless natural beauty is much more memorable🌾

As we head into the first weekend of autumn, I’m sharing my essentials for an intimate gathering at home, on the blog now…

Ps. I say we all start a new tradition of romanticizing solo dinners at home✨

Moodboards help any one of us conceptualize design Moodboards help any one of us conceptualize designs & ideas more efficiently. We're often most inspired by things in unlikely ways, how we then translate that inspiration into something, is quite special. It gifts us the hopeful excitement of truly stopping, focusing on what's around us now, in order to look forward -- to intentionally hone in on the things speaking to us in the moment🌾

And with three dimensional moodboards, we get a level of depth & texture that feel authentic & attainable by using things we already have. When all the different details are brought together, we can then begin to see the story unfold....

Sharing this year's autumn moodboards on the blog now. Hopefully they inspire you to have a different perspective when creating this season✨

I love how a space transforms itself every season, I love how a space transforms itself every season, or how wide-open ones are never truly “blank slates” ... they are simply waiting to be filled with magic, a little something beautiful, some flowers & love🤍🌿🌾

ps. I’ll always love a good before + after...
