Bottle decor in original technique (decoupage, scrapbooking and others)

The main idea of decorating a pair of bottles is to give them the symbolism of the bride and groom – He and She with the attributes of a wedding dress. If both the bride and groom have experience in DIY, you can prepare a surprise for each other. But it’s better to agree on what color and material will be. Then, on the day of the wedding, everyone will give their soul mate an original souvenir.

What materials are traditionally decorated with a wedding bottle

It is advisable to decorate both bottles using the same technique so that a pair combination can be traced. For example, if it’s just white spray painting, you can purchase one larger bottle and decorate with a homemade hat and a bow tie. Then a smaller bottle can have a white veil or a skirt with 2-3 rows of flounces. They can be assembled on an elastic band or sewn from a beautiful and light white fabric, collecting with a drawstring:

tulle;
atlas;
silk;
organza;
tulle;
veil;
guipure;
lace;
embossed tape.

The paint is applied in several thin layers until the bottle is perfectly white, without gaps

More attention is paid to the design of the “female” bottle, the “male” half of the table decoration looks more restrained. Modest décor can be sophisticated if every detail is considered. You can spy on other people’s ideas or make something from improvised material that no one else had, when there is such a desire.

Advice. Do not take the design of wedding glasses and bottles lightly. These attributes will be in plain sight, so there is another opportunity to surprise your guests..

If the wedding is non-alcoholic, you can arrange any fizzy drink in a beautiful bottle. Some people want to arrange a bottle of cognac or other strong drink. The basis of the decoration is the same – wedding theme:

he and she;
rings;
hearts;
Colour;
bride dress elements.

You can use beads and pebbles with a flat base (for gluing), sequins and beads, small artificial flowers and fragments of jewelry.

If you are ready to do the work yourself, do not put this part of the wedding props on the back burner. It may take longer than anticipated. To choose something creative and non-standard, when you do not have your own ideas, look at the topic of decorating wedding bottles with your own hands, master classes and step-by-step explanations.

Of course, such a wedding attribute can be bought ready-made or offered to the master to be made to order. This will surprise no one today, but where is the guarantee that your guests did not celebrate another wedding at a table with exactly the same decor? It can get awkward when asked whose champagne? Therefore, it is better to choose something original so that no one from your environment has this..

Wedding stickers are one of the easiest bottle decorating options

An order for a master will cost 2-3 times more, but it’s not even a matter of saving, although everything can be done from scrap materials. No one can put so much warmth into the decoration of your wedding as the bride and groom themselves or their loved ones..

Important! You can vary the color of the decor of wedding bottles with your own hands, but it should not bring disharmony into the overall design of the festive feast. If this is a wedding in lilac, gold or turquoise colors, then it is better to complement the white bottle of champagne with decor in the agreed range.

Choosing a bottle design by the type of bride and groom

The so-called “wedding bottles” with champagne or other drink are table decorations that are gaining popularity. They are also accompanied by glasses of the bride and groom. And even if the newlyweds are not at the table, you can immediately see where their place is, since the design itself shows the honorable place of the heroes of the occasion.

The simplest way is to spray champagne. To do this, remove the sticker (leave the foil), wash off the remnants of the glue and work on a dry surface. It is easy to stain the environment with paint from a spray gun, so it is better to work in street conditions in calm weather, spreading newspapers under the souvenir. Over the painted surface, it will be possible to tie the bottles with ribbons with bows, glue the fittings.

You will need white acrylic paint, multi-colored satin ribbons, cardboard and decorative elements – beads, bows, lace or textile flowers
For lovers of needlework, it will be easy to sew clothes with female and male attributes. This is easy to do, but do not rush to wrap the glass container with cloth. Better to sew the veil, skirt and jacket separately, and then wrap or champagne and carefully secure with glue (liquid nails, glue gun, and superglue leaves stains). At the same time, it is not worth giving the container personality traits (lips, eyes), only gender difference in the form of clothes.

“Clothes” for champagne in the style of the bride and groom
Light decor in the form of ribbons and hats is the simplest option. For a bride, making a veil from a translucent or lace fabric is not difficult. It is also recommended to wrap the base of the bottle with a white guipure or lace strip. Summer black or blue satin – for “Him”, you can build a butterfly on the neck. Tie both bottles at the bottom with wide golden ribbons, as a symbol of wedding rings. “He” can make a hat based on a kinder surprise egg case or a small lid.

Volumetric decor – coins, pebbles, artificial flower petals and other wedding-themed decorations. Polymer clay roses and flowers take time and perseverance, but it’s worth it! It is better if the stucco decor is of the same color as the base – white or gold.

Wrapping champagne with ribbons

Among the favorites of decor for banquets is the original look of the “groom” and “Bride”, braided with satin ribbons or an oblique inlay. This uncomplicated decor requires leisurely neatness..

Step-by-step master class on decorating wedding bottles:

For the “groom” we take a larger bottle, black or blue ribbons. For the “Bride” – a smaller container, white or cream ribbons. Pre-soak both full bottles in warm water to remove the stickers.

We apply a satin ribbon, measure and cut. Gently glue one edge to the other
First, we make out the neck, forming a shirt collar (or a cutout with a corner) from a piece of tape, fix it with glue to the container.

For the fifth and sixth layers, use brocade tape
We bend around the entire glass container with stripes in parallel, while we close the entire base, but reduce the cuts to the intended fastener, which we will issue later. Gently fix the ends with transparent glue until we close the bottle completely.

To hide the cut ends later, we put a vertical tape. We glue the horizontal stripes and at the end we hide the seam under the additional tape
From a long piece of the same ribbon we form a collar or a jacket clasp, which will lie vertically. Let’s add a top hat or hat, bow tie or tie, hiding the slices. You should get the complete image of a “gentleman”.

After sticking the ribbons, we decorate the bottle with decorations to our taste.

Further on how to decorate wedding bottles with your own hands – step-by-step instructions for decorating the “Bride”:

For a bottle of smaller volume (or the same), we take a white or cream ribbon, if the wedding has a thematic shade, we use 2 colors. We overlap the ribbons until the middle, until the “shoulders” close, then you can go in a circle.

It will be beautiful if you first glue the lace under the neck
We wrap it in stripes, like the first bottle, but this is only the basis, the important part is the veil and the fluffy tiered skirt. We form these 2-3 parts with folds or ruffles, collect on a thin elastic band. When the skirt is ready, we put it on the bottle and fasten it with a wide decorative ribbon with a bow (there may be options).

For each subsequent layer, the tapes will be longer, as the neck of the bottle expands towards the bottom.
To add more “femininity” to this souvenir, we decorate with pearls, beads, flowers, sequins or pieces of lace.
