Tea parties are very trendy these season as you can really profit from the nice sunny weather and celebrate in the garden. I really love this theme as there are so many beautiful ideas to create a great party. The decorations are also very nice, as you can always choose a shade of pinks or even pastel colours, and mix them with vintage tea sets and furniture.

I one week I will plan my first tea party and I am very excited about it, this is why I created a board on Pinterest to get some inspiration and nice ideas, you can visit it here.

Here I created a list of my 10 favourite ideas (and some extras) from Pinterest for a great tea party, take a look at them and let me know which one is your favourite.

1. Silver table sets- this were very common many years back, and you can easily find them in flea markets. Add some elegance to your tea party with some of these beautiful silver tea sets.

3. Flower garlands – Decorate the garden with beautiful flower garlands, this will give your party a more cozy feeling and a touch of nature. If the flowers are too expensive in your country, you can always replace them by artificial ones.

5. Bird Cages – lately bird cages have been very used as decorations and in a tea party themed party they fit very good. Just add some flowers to them and place them next to your food table.

8. Jars full of flowers – A great decoration can be made by upcycling your empty  glass jars and bottles and using them as vases for some flowers. You can even paint them with food colourant as on the picture below:

9. Hats – Don’t forget to ask your guests to bring their favourite hats or hair accessories to the party, as they will look very elegant and this will create a more British environment in the party. Also hats are great for sunny days!

11. Gloves: one nice idea is to encourage your guests to wear fancy gloves for a touch of tradition and fun.

12. Party Favors: Send guests home with tea-related party favors, like custom tea blends, teacup candles, or personalized tea infusers.

13. Photo Booth: Set up a photo booth with props like boas, oversized hats, and vintage teacups for memorable snapshots.

14. Scones: of course we can’t forget freshly baked scones are a must. Provide clotted cream and jam for a classic accompaniment.
