A vintage bridal shower tea

My brother in law is getting hitched soon and we just had a lovely bridal shower tea party for the beautiful blushing bride.  The bride and her Groom have planned a wedding filled with vintage touches, gold and blush accents, and lush lacey peonies. So when planning the shower we  just knew we had to incorporate these details into the shower décor.


peonies in a teapot created a beautiful  centerpiece

A vintage afternoon tea party theme was quickly settled on and peonies in a teapot made the perfect centerpiece. I was lucky enough (aka relieved!) to find beautiful pink  peonies at the local flower mart & with the addition of blush garden roses, lavender, and gypsohila a beautiful lacey floral feel was achieved.  I made sure to only pick out  earth friendly flowers labeled with rainforest alliance or fair trade emblem.

Guest were sent home with vintage tea cups as favors that the brides Aunt to be found. A lovely favor that is also eco-friendly!... To make the favors even more special the Bride to be received a cherished family heirloom teacup which had belonged to her Groom's late grandmother.

Nicole G. over at Sweets by Design ....( a soon to be cousin!!!)  created this beautiful masterpiece of a cake. With gold lace accents and sugar peonies the cake was almost to beautiful to eat.... but once we cut into the cake  it tasted just as divine as it looked. Yum!!!

For a gift I created this Mrs. Hanger with blush ribbon  perfectly matched in color to the wedding invite topped with an ivory peony. A perfect accessory for the Bride to hang her wedding dress on for all those photos on the big day..
