How About a Tea Party?

Ladies! Remember the fun of having tea parties as a little girl? I think most of us girls have enjoyed throwing on our pearls and getting fancied up for a tea party at one time or another!

What about turning a wedding into one big beautiful tea party? Think about it: fancy invitations, formal dress code, pearls (of course!), cakes, cookies, tea, and delicious little finger foods!

The best part is there are so many different directions to go with this theme. You can go the old-school British route with cucumber sandwiches, scones, lemon bars, Victoria cake, and lots of Earl Grey!



 You can go the French route perhaps, and go with madeleines, croissants, macaroons, quiches, baguettes, and French cheeses...mmm.



Or, perhaps the mention of a tea party instantly brings to mind Alice who fell down the rabbit hole? In that case, you have the freedom of making your treats and dishes as colorful and fantastical as your imagination allows!


This theme can be as specific or relaxed as you choose, and so many directions to go! A tea party-themed wedding can work beautifully in any setting; indoor or outdoor. It can be natural, garden-inspired and rustic, OR formal, fancy and more of a black-tie affair! It all depends on you and your fiance's style.

A fun (and inexpensive) wedding favor suggestion would be to collect mismatched tea cups at your local thrift stores, and fill them with your favorite tea bags and sugar packets for your guests to take home. Practical AND a perfect wedding souvenir!
