Tea party decorations aren’t just flowers and lace tablecloths anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From your napkins to your teapots to your platters piled with scones, everything on your tea table (and buffet table if you’re using one) is part of your decorating scheme. Choose all of it to showcase the style or theme you’ve chosen for your tea party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Big Impact Without Too Much Fuss…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

…organize your tea party decorations around a theme, or have a particular style in mind (for example, Victorian or shabby chic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many folks picture a tea party as an elegant Victorian affair<\/b> with silver tea service, ladies in fancy hats and gloves, rich fabric on the table and even richer food. This style of tea party can be adapted to a less formal occasion, but it’s generally among the more expensive tea parties to host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An English countryside or shabby chic style<\/b> of tea party is a great option if you’re going for something less formal. We love the look of layering different textures, colors and patterns (tea-stained florals, plaids, laces) of fabrics, along with mismatched floral patterned china teacups. Delightful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out Rachel Ashwell’s books on shabby chic style and Maggie Stuckey and Carolyn Bucha’s book called Country Tea Parties<\/u> for inspiration. Between them, you’ll find lots of beautiful and do-able<\/i> tea party decorating ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
