Posted by Brenda Lopez, CEO & Founder - AffluentBride.com

Veuve Clicquot Globalight

It’s only once and awhile we come across something SO innovative that it should be on the TOP LIST of must haves for any in style wedding event! Upscale, high end wedding event designers will also want to take note!

Created by Karim Rashid, the limited-edition Veuve Clicquot Globalight is an invitation to romanticism. This ultra contemporary chandelier creates a soft pink halo of light and a dream like atmosphere wherever it goes. It transforms an intimate candle lit dinner between partners or friends. It keeps Veuve Clicquot Rosé at the ideal temperature for 2 hours.

You can take Veuve Clicquot Globalight wherever you go, it glows in its surroundings and creates a beautiful ambiance for the perfect champagne moment for any upscale wedding event or romantic destination honeymoon.

Easy to carry, Veuve Clicquot Globalight is a design jewel with pure and sensual lines. Its brushed aluminium structure fits perfectly in modern design surroundings or a more traditionally styled room.

Veuve Clicquot Globalight is a state-of-the-art technology and design piece. The highly sophisticated system provides light without warming the lamp and transferring heat to the bottle of champagne.

Zumbotel, a world expert in lighting, has conceived and manufactured this unique and complex technology. The pink light is the heart of this unique piece and it creates a romantic ambiance wherever it goes.

The wine has a luminous colour with an attractive pink hue. The wine works its magic - this delectably full champagne can be enjoyed as a true delicacy. A deliciously fruity wine in early bloom, this is a wonderful aperitif to be shared as a twosome or simply with friends. Its superb rosé colour adds a daring, contemporary and romantic touch!
