As the wine sparkles and fizzes and bubbles up with glee it will help to compel the liquid over the edges to the glasses on the layers below, so don't give it too heavy a hand. Now, with a steady hand, pour your champagne from the top with a slow, steady hand. and that's where you'll add your last glass - the crowning glory! Keep in mind that the key to a successful, flowing fountain of bubbly is that the glasses on each layer are always touching their neighboring glass! Build out the rest of your layers (depending on how big you're going) until you have just one last diamond left. For your second layer, which is also a square, start by placing the bottom center of each glass over the top of each diamond of negative space from the layer below. It's important that each glass is touching its neighboring glass and as you build, from a birds eye view, you will see very symmetrical diamonds of empty space between each glass. Select a level, sturdy location to construct your tower and put your first square layer into place. Now is a good time, too, to note how many ounces your glass of choice holds for determining how much champagne you'll need later on. If you're entertaining this many guests (or possibly more!) and glassware is essential to you, we recommend renting for the evening or checking out our budget friendly Amazon option! If you're not a glassware devotee, plastic coupes are a fantastic option and will produce an equally stunning display! The main thing to remember is that your glass of choice must have a stem in order for the bubbles to flow, so no plastic "cups". For example, if you're doing a 5x5 tower, you'll have (5x5) + (4x4) + (3x3) + (2x2) + (1x1) = 55 glasses in total.
Each level of the tower is a square, so add up the number of glasses you need for each level, then account for a few extras due to potential breakage.
