Important wedding accessories are the newlyweds' glasses, which occupy a central place on the table of the bride and groom and are often included in the festive frame. You can buy wedding glasses in a salon or have them decorated by a craftsman, but it’s better to buy regular wine glasses at your local store and decorate them with your own hands, creating truly unique accessories that will take your breath away.
The Svadebka.ws portal will tell you how you can decorate wedding glasses with your own hands, which has selected three master classes for you with descriptions and step-by-step photos.

Despite the fact that there are many decoration ideas, there are some general principles for decorating vessels for a wedding. What you will need for decoration:
- satin ribbons themselves in sufficient quantity;
- scissors for cutting them;
- glue for fastening;
- decorative elements (beads, rhinestones, seed beads, lace, etc.).
You will need to show some persistence and be careful, since the work ahead is delicate and unforgiving of carelessness. We offer a small master class on creating an exquisite bottle decoration in the shape of a bride.
1. The container must be pre-washed and cleared of labels. The surface of the glass is degreased with alcohol-containing liquids.
2. Cut a small piece of lace and try it on the neck. Apply glue at this point and secure the piece of paper nicely.
3. Take the tape and also apply it to the neck. We cut off the excess. Apply glue and apply tape so that it wraps around the bottle. In this case, the right end overlaps the left.
4. For the second and subsequent layers, try on other ribbons. They will be longer because the neck of the champagne widens downwards. We cut off the excess, apply glue and fix it.
5. When the bottle is completely covered with ribbons, we begin to create decorations. If the product is in the form of a bride, you will need to make a fluffy skirt.
6. The neckline can be decorated with beads or a rhinestone ribbon. We fix the accessories with glue.
7. The finishing touch is a hat with a veil. It can also be made from a ribbon and translucent fabric (the latter can be a piece of an old bow or a small piece of white tulle).
Glue for working with glass is used so that all decorative elements adhere firmly to the vessels. If the ribbons are not only glued with a continuous surface, but also tied, the knot can be secured with transparent double-sided tape.

What shape of container should I choose?
The design of a champagne bottle is convenient because this glass vessel has a suitable shape that roughly follows the shape of the human body - a wide bottom and an elongated neck. It looks good when the decor of the bottles is planned in the form of figures of newlyweds - two containers repeat the appearance of the married couple. However, you can decorate any other vessels, for example, a bottle of martini or cognac left over from the New Year holidays. Cognac containers have dark glass with clear rectangular or pyramidal shapes, which rather corresponds to the image of the groom.
Therefore, to decorate such containers, you can choose not the most common decorative elements: wire, stones, shells, ropes. They are a little more difficult to connect and attach to a glass surface, but good glue and the right design technique will do the trick. In this case, tapes and paints are used in darker, golden-brown tones.
A variant of “paired” bottle design is a combination of cognac and vodka, the first has wide “shoulders”, the second is narrow and slender.
Decorating bottles for a wedding with your own hands is not an expensive, but very exciting activity designed to make the future family even stronger. There are many ideas for decorating wedding bottles and glasses; their implementation depends only on the desire of the bride and groom to please themselves and the guests of the special event. There is a wide choice of materials used for decoration - from traditional satin ribbons to ropes and wire. The main thing is that the decorated vessels convey the idea of a fun event, and that their appearance pleases the future spouses.
