Preparation of bottles for decor

DIY wedding bottle decoration starts with preparing containers for work so that they look extremely neat.

Labels and a typo made of foil should not be visible under the bottle design with ribbons, but it is assumed that the visible part will be in harmony with the textile decor.

Often, in addition to the decor of a wedding feast, several elements are performed according to the general plan:

• glasses for the bride and groom;
• a basket of satin ribbons;
• boutonnieres;
• handbag for the bride;
• festive paraphernalia on the seats of the newlyweds.

Do it all yourself with your own hands on the eve of the celebration - save a ton of money or make a pleasant surprise for your loved ones.

It’s best to pick up 2 different champagne bottles so that one bottle is higher and bigger, the other is smaller. They are immersed in sealed form for some time in warm water to spread the glue on the labels, then it will be easier to separate them.

A clean and dry bottle is additionally degreased with a solvent or alcohol to better glue.

Whether the foil at the top of the bottle will be closed depends on the general idea, there are options:

• completely cover with satin ribbons;
• leave the foil open;
• paint over in several layers.

The greatest chic is the decoration of bottles with satin ribbons, when they somehow repeat the outfits of the bride and groom. For example, the color of the braid of greater capacity duplicates the color of the suit of the groom, and on the smaller bottle we recognize the style of the dress of the bride. The amount of decor depends on the skill and desire of the one who will perform the bottle decor with ribbons. If there is a dominant color of the wedding ceremony, then it should be reflected in the table paraphernalia.

Recently, there has been such a tendency that brides refuse white dress. It happens that the bridesmaids must appear at the wedding in purple, mint, golden or turquoise dresses. Then the bottle "She", decorated with ribbons, should be the specified color or white, but complemented by the decor of the recommended shade.

Decorated bottles are not drunk during the wedding; they are left as a souvenir. This champagne is printed on the wedding anniversary and on the day of the first discharge from the hospital.

How is ribbon decoration of bottles made?

You will need to work

Weaving begins with a neck, due to its expansion it is most difficult to arrange it neatly. Ribbons are cut into small segments, each subsequent fragment overlaps the top. They should lie down tightly, gently, a little stretch.

Each lower section will be slightly longer than the previous one due to the expansion of the neck of the container. It is most convenient to work with a tape of 2-2.5 centimeters. The subsequent turn is measured directly on the bottle and carefully cut with a small margin, which goes under the next fragment, as in the photo.

Attention: It is difficult to accurately indicate the length of the ribbon that is spent on bottle decor. The thinner the braid, the greater the consumption. Most often, with a standard width, at least 5 m of a satin bobbin leaves. But note that 2-3 colors are used.

The pieces of satin ribbon are fixed with dot marks of glue, which should not appear through the fabric. It is better to try on a training sample beforehand so as not to spoil all the work. If there are no skills in needlework, it is better to master the technique of braiding a neck on any empty bottle. Neat weaving resembles a pigtail. Further gluing goes in the usual way - in a circle. The color of satin ribbons is combined, depending on the design task of bottle decor with ribbons.

At this stage, accuracy is manifested in the fact that the back seam is as even as possible, so that the edges of the sections coincide completely. But ideally it is unlikely to succeed, therefore, the rear sections are covered with a strip of the same tape as the weaving.

In the manufacture of skirts there may be options. The more magnificent the accessory, the more luxurious is the decoration of bottles with ribbons. You can sew it yourself by stitching lace assemblies, or purchase an elastic band with a frill or corrugated edge. Such an addition on an elastic band is easiest to put on and fix on a bottle, but it is advisable to minimize the tension.

The skirt of the bottle of the “Bride” is decorated with lush bows using the same ribbons. An additional decoration of the “Groom” is a butterfly and buttons imitating a tailcoat or suit. But the main thing is to beautifully decorate the shirt front with white ribbons. Buttons can be replaced with small hearts or pearl beads.

When the main stage of weaving is completed, they go on to decorate the top of the bottles. The “her” can have a tulle, muslin or guipure cape (veil), a wreath of flowers or a hat. He traditionally has a cylinder or a small hat. They are made from a plastic bottle by fitting a hole under the "crown" of the bottle.

Additional decor - swan fluff, a piece of white fur or grass yarn. It looks good on a white basis, if it is decided to make champagne bottles in white, and the ribbon decor is made using the kanzashi technique, as in the photo.

Any idea is good if everything is done neatly and tastefully, the seams are hidden, the decor in moderation. Additionally, it is worthwhile to work on the manufacture of such additions to champagne as rings, angels, flowers, pigeons and hearts. Sometimes they use photos of the bride and groom, printed on thin paper (gloss).

We decorate wedding glasses and other attributes

Decorating a wedding table is not limited to decorating bottles with ribbons. Most often they make another decor in one key - buttonholes, candles, etc.

Glasses are better to buy separately, and not to take from a set. Most often they are kept for many years as a memory of the wedding, without washing away the design. Next, we decorate the glasses, like the bottles, with satin ribbons with our own hands, so that they form a single set. Decorative elements may vary, but you should tie a bow from the ribbon that wraps champagne on a glass leg. Next, a small decor on transparent glue is attached.

In addition to the wedding decor of bottles with satin ribbons, we offer a workshop on making baskets (based on soap and pins).
