Tablescapes, Special Occasion Tea Party

the Painted Apron

9 years ago

These gorgeous tea tag creations, made by Marcia Pilar, were my inspiration for this Special Occasion Tea Party Table

The tags feature incredible details, tiny punched out patterns and glittered corners, and I wanted to incorporate them into an elegant setting~

A lovely tea is perfect for many occasions, Valentine’s Day comes to mind this time of year… but a tea is a great way to celebrate a lot of different things, birthdays, anniversaries, Mother’s Day

Many parties revolve around flowers, and sweets and fanciful things…

and hearts are always welcome

I decided to just get some fancy out and set a little tea table, with sweets and hearts, silver and flowers, and my gorgeous “tea tags”

Pull up a chair and I’ll pour you a cup

Caramel Truffle Tea is on the menu today

with crisp buttery almond cookies

and Salted Caramel mini cupcakes from Fresh Market bakery

Big fat strawberries

Dean & Deluca Chocolate Peanut Butter Toffee

mmmmmmmmmm

You don’t have to have huge bouquets of flowers

With just a few blooms here and there you can create magic

Also when you mix good faux flowers with real ones, they tend to seem real too, like the roses and hydrangea in the photo above [far left]

There are sweet treats and eye candy everywhere

This table is for my sweet sister Janet’s birthday tomorrow…she lives in California and since I can’t be with her, I am celebrating with her virtually~
