There's a new — and infinitely prettier — kind of ice bucket challenge to get on board with this summer and it's sure to impress your guests.

It's the perfect thing for keeping drinks cool, as a standout on your table, and it can be themed to match your Christmas table, NYE bash or any other festive fun.

You can instantly turn wine or Champagne into a show-stopping display at your next party by housing them in a homemade floral ice bucket — and the best part is that they're super easy to make!

Before selecting your decorative tidbits it's worth considering how it will team with the rest of the décor, as well as the bottles you'll be showcasing. Here's some gorgeous flare/bottle combos and decorating inspiration for how to utilise your ice buckets to really complement the party theme or surrounds.

Blogging duo Stan and Jody Gabara of Rooted in Thyme have created this stunning ice bucket centrepiece with flowers from their garden. The pale-pink really sets off the wine bottle's sea-foam green hue.

Flowers and leaves are used sparingly in this tasteful variation from the Little Gray Station for a more pared-back, stylish approach. The rose bottles' peachy hue really stands out against the frosty bucket.

This rustic-edged ice bucket by Sugar and Charm uses a blend of large and small red, blue and white flowers, along with strawberries and blueberries.

Rosemary and plump red berries (they don't even need to be real berries) combine to make the perfect festive-themed ice bucket by Zsazsa Bellagio. How beautiful would this look alongside your Christmas Day table?
