How do you take your champagne?

When J and I got married, I wanted to have champagne coupes rather than flutes. I find the coupe so  much nicer in every way. It is feminine and delicate and I love the sweet, humble silhouette. They're much more sophisticated than flutes, don't you agree? ;) But, much to my surprise, I had the hardest time finding a rental company that had them! One company actually told me they could give me mismatched coupes, as in some with gold rims, some plain, some with beveled stems, some not. And she actually pressured me to go for it because I'd never find "those old-fashioned things" anywhere. It seemed that everyone preferred flutes, but I persevered. In the end, I found an abundant supply of coupes at AtoZ Rental, which carries mostly giant lawnmowers and machinery, but I guess in their case AtoZ is an accurate name. Wow, did my search pay off.

We had a champagne pyramid for our guests. It was so fun to fill and watch bubble over. Did you know that a pyramid really only wastes about half a bottle of champagne? 

J and I toasted with the same "Bride and Groom" coupes that my parents used at their wedding. 

Our approach to our wedding was "simple yet elegant" and the champagne pyramid was built in bubbly, sparkling decoration. It was absolutely fabulous! So, which do you prefer, coupe or flute?
