Bring back memories of bygone elegance with a wedding themed around the idea of a vintage tea party. Pastel coloured bridesmaid dresses and complimenting waistcoats for the men in the bridal party will match the delicate roses you use in your bouquet and in your table centres. White bird cages from www.lavendersoflondon.com decorated with fabric butterflies and filled with light green hydrangea heads can be placed in corners of the room or on the cake table and bar area. One of the hottest trends at the moment is giving your guests a choice of dessert. Buy glass and coloured cake stands from charity shops in lots of different styles or from the Rosanna ‘Playing House’ range (available at John Lewis) www.rosannainc.com and arrange on a table in your reception room and fill the stands with lots of gorgeous iced cakes. Not only will this look amazing, you could ask your caterers to box these up at the end of the evening and hand to guests as they leave. To ensure you still get the ‘cake cutting moment’ on your day, choose a show stopping cake like ‘The Birdcage’ from www.maisiefantasie.co.uk.
Give lemon coloured boxes wrapped in baby blue ribbon full of clotted cream fudge to your guests as wedding favours or place a couple of gourmet tea bags in a personalised envelope so your guests can enjoy a cup of tea after the big day has ended. www.prettywild.co.uk has some beautiful wedding invitations that would compliment this theme perfectly, for example Dandy, bon bon or Arboris.
