How to pop a bottle of champagne for photos? How to get the most perfect bubble spray!

An amazing way to showcase how excited you are for your engagement, proposal, or wedding day! POP A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE OF COURSE! But, how do you get those epic photos, like the ones below!?

First, it doesn’t matter if you have a screw-off top or not, they all work! Also, the BEST way to be Leave No Trace is to pop the bottle first, before shaking! That way there is no looking for the cork afterward!

Does it matter what kind of champagne you get!? Don’t spend a lot on it, or you are spraying money away!

Don’t drink champagne!? That’s ok! Sparkling wine works great too! Also, beer is fun to spray too!
