Cute Party Ideas for Champagne Flutes

Champagne flutes may be used for decorating.

Champagne flutes are not only designed to hold bubbly. With a little imagination, they can be used as vases and vessels for decorating at events ranging from weddings to New Year's Eve parties to birthday celebrations. Champagne flutes may be personalized with engraving or acid etching and placed at each setting as favors for guests to take home. The reflective quality of glass enhances colors, adding to the theme and ambiance.

Fruit

Spanish revelers believe that eating a dozen grapes at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve predicts the future year, with each grape representing one month. To adopt their tradition for your party, thread a dozen grapes onto a skewer and place it into a champagne flute. Add strawberries and blueberries, pour in the champagne and enjoy at midnight or any time.

Candles

Make candle holders with your champagne flutes. Taper candles fit comfortably into a champagne flute and a curled ribbon tied around the stem will add to the festive look. Alternatively, fill the flute with miniature flowers and place it upside down on the table. Attach a ball-shaped candle on top of the upturned base with quick putty. Tie ribbons around the stem. Or fill the flutes with colored liquid and tiny floating candles.

Flowers

Decorate champagne flutes with flowers. Thread charms onto the ribbon before tying it around the stems. Fill the flute with a single sweetheart rose or other small flower. Add one sprig of fern and water or cram the flute with silk flowers. Place one at each table setting and sprinkle petals around the base.

Colored Vase Fillers

Fill champagne flutes with your choice of colored vase filler to enhance and coordinate your color theme. Fillers include faux pearls, crystals, ice, berries, metallic balls, marbles, rocks and stones. Add a silk flower or tie a balloon to the stem of each glass.
