Styling your wedding day using English Tea Parties as inspiration is a lovely way to encourage a relaxed fun atmosphere at your wedding reception.

 

Set your guest tables with cake stands filled with flowers, tea cups filled with candles or flowers, lace table cloths draped on the tables and serve food on vintage crockery. You don't have to have a three course meal, some couples choose to have afternoon tea party food for all the guests, mini cucumber sandwiches, canapes and delicious cakes.

 

Add signs including 'Time For Tea' and 'Let Them Eat Cake' for a bit of fun

 

Whether you have chosen a marquee, village hall or hotel add to the tea party / village fete look by hanging pretty bunting from trees or inside at the reception venue.

 

Set up a sweetie buffet or dessert table, filled with delicious cakes and treats. Add bunting, signs and 'eat me' flags for the finishing touches.
