Thoughts of tea parties often conjure up images of Alice in Wonderland, cucumber sandwiches and pastries, lots of florals and just pure lady-like goodness. What little girl has never dressed up in her Sunday best and served imaginary tea to a table of her favorite stuffed animals? A tea party theme would be a great idea for an afternoon bridal or baby shower, but the same theme can be carried out into a wedding as well. An outdoor garden or historic building would be an ideal venue, and the wonderful thing about this type of theme is that the table and place settings don't all have to match! A lace tea-length dress would also be the perfect touch for the non-traditional bride who wants to fully capture a vintage feminine feel.
