Spring is coming! It’s the perfect time to throw a party outdoors to celebrate the beauty of the season with all your best girlfriends. To help you host the perfect event, here are 12 elegant ideas for a garden tea party!
1.A Spring nest makes the perfect centerpiece for a garden tea party. A large bowl serves as the nest. Stuff it with damp moss, then add small Spring flowers and speckled candy eggs.
2. I’m a sucker for pretty cupcakes, and these flower cupcakes are no exception. They’re simply gorgeous! Use them as the show-stopping finish to your garden tea party.
3. Use a beautiful mini-bouquet to mark each guest’s seating assignment. They’ll love to take their bouquet home at the end of the event.
4. Did you know you could dye paper doilies to match your party color scheme? You can, and they look smashing underneath the tea cups and saucers!
5. Some pretty floral arrangements can be as easy as wrapping mason jars in strips of lace. Get clippings from your yard to fill them with, or visit your local florist if you’re in a crunch.
6. Mason jars can also be turned into gorgeous lamps you can hang from the trees. Doesn’t this look magical?
7. Finger sandwiches are the perfect addition to a garden tea party. They’re easy to make and the combinations are pretty much endless.
8. If cupcakes aren’t your thing, maybe mini strawberry cheesecakes will fit the bill. These look so darling {not to mention scrumptious!}.
9. Here’s an idea that’ll leave your guests happy. Send them home with one of these party favor bags filled with chocolates.
10. Birdcages make wonderful centerpieces for garden parties. Fill yours with flowers and faux birds you can find at Michaels.
11. Have you ever had aguas frescas? If you have, you know they’re delicious and your garden party guests would love them! If you haven’t, give them a try. There is a recipe link at the end of this post.
12. Make some elegant Victorian garden party hats with supplies you can find at Dollar Tree. You could make some ahead of time, or have it be an activity for everyone to do during the garden party.
