Possibly one of the most important parts of setting up your champagne bar is ensuring your champagne is ice cold. Not lukewarm, straight-out-of-the-box nonsense – ice cold, always! It’s definitely worth picking up a couple of these champagne ice buckets from Etsy as you can never be sure how fast or slow your guests will go through the champagne. Be sure to keep the ice-topped up and the bottles flowing!

When it comes to finding the right champagne flutes, most event planners will opt for the classic slender glass flute with a stem. However, more and more, trends would have it that stemless champagne flutes are all the rage. Not only are they a little more on the quirky side, but they are also far less likely to break and make for an easier glass for all. Pick up this gorgeous pack of 15 from Etsy for just $18.99 each.
